Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are lucky enough to be parents to six children, but can’t agree who is the driving force behind the large brood.
On the festive programme, Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas, the couple spent time in her art studio and as they got to work painting giant Nutcrackers the topic came up.
After they reflected on their magical year becoming parents again, the conversation quickly veered onto whether they would have any more.
‘What do you think this year’s going to hold for us?’ asked Joe to which Stacey quickly interjected with: ‘I’m not getting pregnant again Joe if that’s what you’re insinuating.’
Loose Women panellist and Instagram darling Stacey, 34, has two sons from previous relationships – Zach, 15, and Leighton, 11, while actor and presenter Joe, 41, has son Harry, 16.Together they have welcomed three children – Rex, four, Rose, two, and 10-month-old Belle.
Joe laughed in response to her statement before saying: ‘Mate, you make out that I want the babies, whenever we have this conversation you go “I’m having no more babies” and then you give me the look as if to say “I want a baby”.’

A shocked Stacey accused Joe of being ‘seriously misled.’
The husband and wife continued with their playful banter, as they disagreed over who was the person initiating the ‘Shall we have another one?’ conversation.
‘As soon as one of our babies goes to nursery, you’re like “Right, time for another one”,’ Joe insisted.
‘And whose just gone to nursery? Rose.’

At this point, Stacey had no comment and just laughed.
Either way, they seem to be pretty happy with the amount of children they have, but Stacey revealed earlier this year that they do not want anymore.
‘At this point, we are struggling to say the least to be good parents, and try and work and do everything else in between,’ she confessed.

The famous pair, who were married in July 2022 in a small, private ceremony at their home, Pickle Cottage, in Essex, are currently in their ‘non-romantic’ era. She admitted they only have very few nights together which could make things difficult.
‘I think me and Joe are in our non-romantic era. It is important just to get time for us, but we’re at that stage in our life where that’s not really possible.’
Speaking to OK!, she continued: ‘We recently went to a friend’s wedding and had a lovely night together, but outside of that it’s once or twice a year.’
‘We don’t want any more – we cannot cope with it. We wanted all these kids and we’re so grateful to have them. So we will get romantic – but in 20 years’ time.’
Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
