Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash on plans for more children
It comes as no surprise that Stacey and Joe might consider adding to their family by fostering or adopting children, as Joe grew up in a home where his mum, Kiffy, fostered children.
When discussing the topic during the TV show, Stacey said: “It’s such an incredible thing to do. Joe grew up in a home where his mum fostered and Joe’s always said when our kids grow up and move out, that’s what he wants to do, so I get it.”
Joe asked Stacey about Shirley and Martin: “Is this the family you were telling me about who want to foster?”
This’ll be us in 20 years if you get what you want.
To which Stacey replied: “This’ll be us in 20 years if you get what you want,” and Joe shot back: “It will be.”
Joe Swash sheds light on fostering
Joe has previously explored the British care system and spoken about having two foster siblings, in his BBC documentary: Teens In Care.
He said in the programme: “My mum Kiffy has been a foster carer for the last 15 years. I’ve seen the difference that she’s made to these young people’s lives.”
Joe has also hinted at the possibility of fostering with Stacey in the future. He said: “It’s something that Stacey and I have talked about. It’s something we’ll always consider.
“When our kids get older and the last ones are at secondary school, maybe then we’ll try to foster ourselves.”
The former EastEnders star previously admitted to OK! that having children is “addictive”.
He explained: “The baby bit goes so fast, and then before you know it, they’re toddlers – then you yearn for babies again.
“We’re slightly addicted to babies – it’s so nice to be needed. You think, ‘Six has to be it,’ but I’d never say never.”
