Stacey, who rose to fame on the X Factor in 2009, wrote a series of candid posts about coping with recent miscarriages and how she and had struggled to get pregnant again.
She wrote in her Instagram story, "Sorry I’ve been so quiet… But we have something we are excited to share with you… I feel so nervous for so many reasons."
The star, who has older sons Zach, 13, and Leighton, 9, from previous relationships and two-year-old Rex with Joe, confirmed the happy news, adding, "For a really long time we have been trying for another pickle… It didn’t work out and this was our news quite a few times…"
