How long has Joe and Stacey been together?

Joe and Stacey have been together for six years. They met when she was a contestant on I'm A Celebrity back in 2010 and was crowned the winner of the reality show. At the time Joe was hosting the itv2 spin-off show and the pair became friends. They weren't romantically linked at the time as Stacey was in a relationship.

It took until 2016 for the couple to start dating, and they went Instagram official in that January.

Stacey shared a video of the moment they first met - with Joe hugging her to congratulate her on her win. Recalling the memory on her Instagram stories and explained, "We just finished watching the castle and Leighton and Zach made me put on my jungle videos because Zachy doesn't remember it and Leighton wasn't born when I did it so they love watching it," she said.  

"Then we stumbled across this one. The first time I ever met Joe. The boys couldn't believe it was him. It feels like yesterday" Stacey added.

After welcoming their first child together in May 2019, Joe proposed (opens in new tab) on Christmas Eve 2020 and in October 2021 they welcomed their second child together, daughter Rose.

Where does Stacey Solomon live?

Stacey Solomon lives in a tudor-style Essex mansion nicknamed Pickle Cottage. The property was purchased for a reported £1.2m in 2021 by the couple and it boasts a pool, library, and huge wendy house. Since they moved in over a year ago, the property has had an extreme transformation - with most of the work carried out by Stacey herself and documented on her Instagram.

Pickle Cottage will be the wedding ceremony and venue for the couple - after they decided to ditch their original choice after moving into their new home. The couple had to apply for a special wedding license in order to hold the ceremony there but it means they can tie the knot in their beautiful garden, surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

Stacey revealed that among the wedding plans, guests would be sitting underneath a thatched roof barn area in the garden and round off the night with karaoke.

Telling her fans about her wedding plans on Instagram, Stacey previously spilled, "This morning I had to meet with the caterers, florists and everyone in between because I almost forgot we are getting married in three months' time. We are on the last part now, the aisle.

"And my sister just put a load of candles in my kitchen jars at the bottom where we are going to stand and I'm crying".
