Stacey Solomon wants to have a baby with Joe Swash.
The 29-year-old star – who has sons Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six, from previous relationships – previously believed she would not have kids with the former ‘EastEnders’ actor, but now they are moving in together she thinks it could be great to add to their family.
She said: "I would like more children but I want it to be the right time. We’d like to be in the house for a year or two and make sure the kids are happy."
But if Stacey and Joe – who is dad to Harry, 11, who he raises with ex-girlfriend Emma Sophocleous – don’t manage to have a baby of their own, they won’t be too upset.
Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: "We are so privileged that we’ve got children already so if it didn’t happen, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. As long as everyone is secure, we can start thinking about it."
Stacey has nothing but praise for "great dad" Joe, 36, and her own sons absolutely adore him.
She said: "Probably the most attractive thing about Joe is what a great dad he is. He’s so passionate about his child and about us as a family. Also, he’s really kind. He has a similar background to me, with the same family morals and values as mine. I think that’s what makes our relationship work.
"My boys are obsessed with him. He’s the fun one – he’s Fun Joe. I’m not when I’m in mum mode and making them eat their greens and brush their teeth."
Though the couple are building a future together, marriage doesn’t currently figure in their plans.
Stacey said: "We’re not against marriage but it’s not something we think about right now. We don’t feel it is a necessity."
