Stacey Solomon has responded to speculation she has secretly separated from husband Joe Swash. The presenter, 36, has been wed to former EastEnders actor Joe, 44, since 2022, but followers started to suggest that things had turned sour earlier this week when Stacey was seen without her wedding ring on multiple occasions.
Over the weekend, the former X Factor contestant removed her wedding ring once again, which she’d previously wore all the time, as she shared updates with fans on Instagram, sparking concern.
The mum appeared on Wednesday’s This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley to talk about her judging role on Britain’s Got Talent, but discussion swiftly shifted to her romantic life.
Stacey confessed she hadn’t even noticed Joe’s Mother’s Day tribute that was devoted to her on social media. Ben remarked: “It was just gorgeous. It was just talking about how you’ve got this incredible family and how you’re doing an amazing job. We love watching the two of you – but there’s all these crazy rumours going on at the minute.”

Stacey, who sported a ring on her wedding finger for the television appearance, promptly confronted the speculation directly, as she responded: “What are the rumours? There’s a new rumour each week. I’m terrible. I don’t read any of that stuff.”
Staring straight into the camera, Stacey remarked: “Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don’t know!” Stacey then quipped that Joe is too preoccupied building a ‘lake’ at their home Pickle Cottage to pay attention.
Stacey joked once more: “It’s filling up! Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake? With our marriage,” sending the television presenters into fits of laughter. She continued: “What has he been saying? Do you know what, I’ve got to start checking my social media more!”, reports the Mirror.
Despite overlooking Joe’s social media update, the Sort Your Life Out presenter did manage to share a Mother’s Day tribute of her own on Instagram dedicated to her children. Accompanying the photograph in which Leighton, Zachary, Rex, Rose and Belle all stand proudly alongside their mum, she maintained “no-one can bring us down”, writing: “My Life’s Work…When I’m with you I remember what it’s all about. No-one can bring us down as long as we have each other.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mummas and mother figures being hero’s every single day. Thinking of those of you who find today extremely difficult.”
In recent photographs, published on the Mirror, the BBC personality was spotted without her wedding ring as she departed the BBC studios.
Wearing a grey cardigan and staying warm in a navy blue puffer jacket, Stacey’s sparkler was noticeably absent. However, in a bold move, apparently just hours before the photos emerged, Stacey was spotted with her wedding ring on as she got ready for a hectic day of meetings. Posting on her Instagram story, her ring was noticeable as she wished her followers a pleasant day.
Last month Joe attended the TV Choice awards without his wife, despite both the actor and Stacey being nominated for their documentary. Instead, Joe brought along his stepson, Zachary.
