Stacey BABY NUMBER 6?
She may have only given birth to her fifth child, Belle, four months ago, but will that stop Stacey Solomon from planning baby number six? The 33-year-old – who shares Belle along with Rex, four, and Rose, 20 months, with hubby Joe Swash, 41, as well as Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, from previous relationships – admits that she loves being a mum: ‘I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to say I’m a mum of five. I love being a mum so much like I genuinely love it.’
Now a source tells Woman’s Own, ‘We all remember when we first met Stacey, a young teenage mum auditioning for The X Factor. She’s always been open and proud of being a young mum – and still has energy and zest for motherhood. Stacey couldn’t be happier with Joe and feels she’s finally got the balance right there. She’s said herself she’s feeling broody again, so soon after giving birth to Belle.’ But while baby number six could very much be on the cards for Stacey and Joe – who had daughters Rose and Belle only 16 months apart – they’re in no rush. Our source explains, ‘She knows Belle and her other kids are her priority right now, followed by her career. Stacey’s career has taken a backseat lately, understandably, but she will be flooded with work when she does return. She represents many mums across the country trying to juggle her career with motherhood.’ As the star started a phased return to work last week she shared a video and cute text from Joe which read, ‘Go and smash it today like you smash everything. Just look at you. You are f*****g superwoman.’
Whatever you decide to do you’ve got this, Stace!
KEEPING UP WITH MEGHAN
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, and Kim Kardashian have something in common – after Meghan hired Kim’s former bodyguard.
The unnamed elite security guard, the likes of which can earn up to $1,500 a day, is believed to have worked for Kim, 42, around the time she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October 2016.
When they stepped back as senior royals in 2020, the Sussexes tax-payer security was stripped, leaving them to fund their own protection. An insider explained, ‘Kim’s security will be paramount. It’s no different for Prince Harry and Meghan – they are world-famous and equally as vulnerable.’
So, is that where the money from the book sales is going?
