Stacey Solomon ‘trying not to be hard on herself’ as she parents solo with Joe Swash away

Stacey Solomon is trying not "to be hard" on herself as she looks after her five children on her own, as her husband Joe Swash has had to go away for a few days for work.

The Loose Women panellist, 33, welcomed her third child, a baby daughter named Belle, with husband Joe, 41, in February, and she's been keeping her 5.6 million updated on social media as she navigates life as a mum-of-five. She also has two children from previous relationships.

Stacey, who recently hit back at a troll on Instagram after being criticised for having a manicure, took to Instagram to reveal she was attempting to "get out of the house" with her children while Joe was away.

She could be seen holding newborn Belle in her arms as she snapped a selfie in a mirror at Pickle Cottage, with son Rex, three, lying across her lap.

"Joe's away working for a few days so I tried to get myself out of the house," the star wrote alongside the sweet photograph. "I did the school run and then me and the girls went for a walk around the shops."

She went on to share how she'd had a "lovely" time out with Belle and one year old daughter Rose.

"Belle and our new life with a newborn is only 3.5 weeks in so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself for not making it out past the school run most days. But it was lovely to get out for a few hours and just walk around and see/speak to people," Stacey wrote.

On Friday, Stacey returned to her Stories to share an update with fans, and revealed Joe had managed to return from his work trip early.

She shared adorable snaps of baby Belle asleep wrapped up in a personalised blanket, revealing she'd been enjoying a long bath when her husband returned home.

Stacey and Joe, who tied the knot in 2022, announced the arrival of their second daughter last month, after revealing they were expecting again in December.

The couple share daughters Belle and Rose, one, and son Rex, three. Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, while Joe is dad to Harry, 15, with an ex-girlfriend.
