Stacey Solomon appeared emotional after reportedly having a heated exchange with her husband, Joe Swash, in the street just before leaving for a high-profile trip to Las Vegas. The 35-year-old Sort Your Life Out host is currently enjoying a luxurious getaway with SpaceNK, accompanied by influencers like Maura Higgins.
However, it seems that she has been living on edge before finally leaving. The trouble started with a public spat between the couple with a reported row reportedly with Joe, whom she married in 2022. Witnesses said that Stacey seemed distressed and was comforted by members of her TV production crew.
One published in The Sun on the mother-of-five trudging along hands shoved into the pockets, the long brown puffer coat pulled up and tied and her head down, shows her at one point leaned into a colleague’s shoulder for a consoling hug.
The incident happened next to the train station of Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, where witnesses alleged that they could see Joe, 42, visibly distressed. The witness said that the EastEnders alumnus came out from the building alone, smoking his vape, and then sat on the nearby stairs.
“Stacey came out of the building in tears; she looked very emotional and hugged someone,” reported an eyewitness. “Joe appeared to be tense, and both of them left separately, after what seemed like an animated conversation.”.
He was animatedly talking to someone in the production crew, but about 15 minutes later, Stacey walked over to him; she shouted something, and they both scurried in different directions.
The situation in the meantime was described as “very tense,” so that level of intrigue is added to the couple’s lives.
Reality Show Featuring Stacey and Joe
Stacey and Joe, known for their ‘realness’ and authenticity in public life, are in production for a brand-new reality series called Escape to Pickle Cottage. The BBC show will offer viewers a glimpse into their lives, as they live out their lives in the charming £1.2 million Essex home.
The couple have three young children together – Rex, 4, Rose, 2, and Belle, 1. Stacey is also mum to Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12 from other relationships. Joe has a son, Harry, 16, with a previous partner.
A source familiar with the show teased, “Who needs the Kardashians or the Osbournes when you’ve got Stacey and Joe?” Fans can expect candid insights into their blended family life and the couple’s dynamic as they juggle parenting, work, and their relationship.
The show did create a lot of interest, especially since there were promises of going through the ups and downs in life at Pickle Cottage also as seen in the tension moment before Stacey’s trip.
Even though the dramatic tear-jerking incident has happened, Stacey seems to be having a great time on her Las Vegas adventure since she continues posting stunning pictures of her glamorous trip on social media. Some time away might work wonders for the couple to reboot before getting back to the busy filming schedule and family life.
As the fans await the launching of Escape to Pickle Cottage, Stacey and Joe still prove and exhibit openness that shows that real life may be far from perfect even in the limelight.
