STACEY Solomon has revealed the reason Joe Swash’s son didn’t appear on their family Christmas Card is “complicated.”
The TV stars recently had their first baby, a son called Rex, together and have children from other relationships.
Stacey’s sons Leighton and Zachary from her past relationships featured in the pretty photo, along with baby Rex.
And she took to Instagram to address questions over missing 12-year-old Harry, who Joe shares with ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous.
Sharing videos on her story, Joe sat on the sofa behind her as Stacey said: “I’ve got loads of comments from people asking about all of our children, and why they are not in my photos.
“And unfortunately it is not something that I am able to do otherwise I would do it all the time.
“All the kids are a massive part of our lives and we love them all equally, and adore them, and behind the scenes we are very much on every stocking, in every book and in every photo.
“But publicly that is not something that I can do and I totally respect that.
“We respect everyone’s wishes and we are a blended family and sometimes that is a bit more complicated than it seems.
“I don’t know if that is the best way to explain it but I just thought because so many people are asking.”
Stacey wrote over one of her videos: “We respect everybody’s wishes, including the boys’.”
Stacey showed off her family’s first Christmas card this week – a black and white image with her dress in gold – but then revealed that Joe had been photoshopped in.
The Loose Women star posted the festive card on Instagram and said: “Our first Christmas Card So cheesy I know but I can’t help it… it makes me sooooooo happy. I can’t wait to write them.
“I’ll treasure it forever… Happy Thursday P.S If anyone’s thinking Joes head looks a bit out of sorts it’s because (I’m not joking when I say) my dad literally had to add Joe into this picture because he’s been away working so much, the day that we took it he was held back for training and didn’t make it home on time and these boys aren’t putting a suit on more than once!”
She then joked: “I love it though! I might start photoshopping him into all the family pictures,”
Stacey and Joe have been getting into the Christmas spirit and it all started with their elaborate festive door display.
