Stacey Solomon kept her wedding ring hand concealed in her most recent social media photographs as she neglected to reference husband Joe Swash in her birthday message to son Zach – whom Joe acknowledged separately on his own social media.
The development follows her apparent dismissal of speculation surrounding her relationship while appearing on This Morning last week. As she spoke with presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, Stacey remarked: “There’s a new rumour each week. I’m terrible. I don’t read any of that stuff.” Looking directly at the camera, Stacey commented: “Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don’t know!”
Stacey, 36, has been photographed without her wedding ring on several occasions. A fortnight ago in pictures secured exclusively by the Mirror she was captured without her ring although before the photographs were taken she posted a selfie to Instagram with it on once more.

On Mother’s Day last Sunday, Stacey posted a lovely photograph with her children with her ring absent, whilst Joe celebrated her on his account with a cheerful family snapshot, reports the Mirror.
On Saturday, the celeb shared a collection of photographs with Zach, 18, as she embraced the teenager in the garden. However, she maintained her left hand firmly out of sight. She posted: “Today is all about you Zachary. 18 wonderful years of you. We are SO lucky. Now let’s go OUT out @zachsolomon08.” Accompanying another video clip she added: “I blinked and my baby boy turned 18.
“Zachary, growing up with you has been the biggest privilege of my life. Looking through our memories, every video I have of you shows just how special you are. The kindest man with the biggest heart. The world is so lucky to have a human like you in it.

“Happy birthday darling boy. To the moon and stars and back again. Sorry that I’ve spent the whole morning crying I’ll pull myself together eventually”.
Joe ensured he marked the occasion with a black and white photograph of Zach as a toddler alongside his wife. “Watching you grow into such a kind and caring young man has been something really special,” he penned. “Wishing you nothing but success and happiness in the years ahead, this is just the start of something great”.
Joe and Stacey’s romance has unfolded publicly since they first started dating in 2016 – six years after initially meeting on the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here spin-off programme.

Followers of their reality series, Stacey and Joe, have also witnessed the highs and lows of their relationship. Earlier this month, Stacey teased that Joe was flogging “a load of c**p” in one of his TikTok videos. During the clip on Joe’s TikTok, he said: “This is a little segment, I’m going to call try before you buy.” He added: “I’m going to try it before you lot buy it. I love a gadget. If it works, I let you know about it.” As he unwrapped the box, Stacey joked: “It looks like a lot of c**pola”.
The Mirror has contacted Stacey’s representatives for comment.
