Stacey Solomon<\/a> and Joe Swash<\/a> are reportedly getting ready to depart their \u2018forever home\u2019<\/a> Pickle Cottage, which has become synonymous with the couple.<\/p>\n The pair have raised their six children at the sprawling Essex property, but are said to have found a new property to fix up nearby.<\/p>\n Joe and Stacey tied the knot at Pickle Cottage in 2022, after transforming their home<\/a> with an extravagant white floral display in preparation.<\/p>\n Their special day was initially postponed due to the pandemic and again when Stacey became pregnant with their daughter Rose, as the parents wanted all their kids to be there to see them walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n The\u00a0couple moved into Pickle Cottage<\/a>, which features an incredible 2.5 acres of land, in 2021 and quickly decided to name it after their son Rex, who is often referred to as Pickle. <\/p>\n But now the couple are reportedly starting a new chapter of their relationship, with the move to a new home. Let\u2019s take a look back through their relationship timeline to mark the occasion. <\/p>\n 2010 \u2013 Stacey and Joe meet in the jungle<\/p>\n \t\t Their relationship actually spans back to 2010, when Stacey was crowned queen of the jungle on I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here!<\/p>\n Joe, who had won the show in 2018, was hosting the ITV2 spin-off, and the pair became friends, although romance didn\u2019t blossom as Stacey was in a relationship at the time.<\/p>\n EastEnders star Joe later admitted he had fancied the X Factor star, but the timing wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n 2016 \u2013 Stacey and Joe take their relationship public<\/p>\n \t\t After Stacey\u2019s split from Jackass star Steve-O, rumours began to swirl that she and Joe were dating in 2016 after they were pictured arm-in-arm.<\/p>\n Their romance was confirmed in January, with Joe saying he was \u2018really lucky\u2019, and they made their first red carpet appearance together at a Game Of Thrones screening two months later.<\/p>\n Stacey joined her beau to host the I\u2019m A Celeb spin-off later that year and the couple gained a huge legion of fans, who were tickled by Stacey\u2019s social media updates and admissions on Loose Women that she wanted babies with the actor.<\/p>\n Speaking to Hello! in 2017, Stacey said: \u2018It\u2019s going really, really well. I\u2019m so happy. Everyone says we\u2019re made for each other.<\/p>\n \u2018We are like the same person, we come from really similar backgrounds and we\u2019ve got so much in common. He\u2019s absolutely lovely, I\u2019m so lucky.\u2019<\/p>\n 2019 \u2013 Joe and Stacey buy their first house together <\/p>\n After three years together, Joe and Stacey bought a house together, with Joe then living with Stacey\u2019s two sons, Zachary, 14, from her relationship with Dean Cox, and Leighton, 10, from her relationship with Aaron Barham.<\/p>\n The actor is also dad to Harry, 14, with former fianc\u00e9e Emma Sophocleous.<\/p>\n 2019 \u2013 Stacey and Joe have baby son Rex<\/p>\n In 2018, Joe was delighted to announce that Stacey constantly falling asleep wasn\u2019t because she was bored of him, but because she was pregnant with their first child together.<\/p>\n Joe confirmed the birth of their son in May 2019, sharing a picture of Stacey in the hospital bed with their baby and writing: \u2018This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world. We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what\u2019s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we\u2019ve received over the last 8 months.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m lost for words to describe how I\u2019m feeling. So for now, I\u2019m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn\u2019t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a superhuman. I am forever in awe.\u2019<\/p>\n The couple later named their son Rex.<\/p>\n 2020 \u2013 Joe pops the question<\/p>\n Stacey made no secret of wanting to get hitched, and her dream came true on Christmas Eve 2020 when her beau proposed.<\/a><\/p>\n The Loose Women panellist confirmed the happy news as she showed off the diamond ring on her left hand and wrote on Instagram: \u2018To the moon and back bub. I have no words.\u2019<\/p>\n Joe chose to pop the question in the woodlands where they walk with their kids every day, assembling a floral arrangement of white roses around a tree as a backdrop to his big gesture.<\/p>\n Their kids were present for the proposal, which was filmed by a hidden GoPro.<\/p>\n 2021 \u2013 Joe and Stacey move into their \u2018forever home\u2019, Pickle Cottage <\/p>\n \t\t In March 2021, the family moved into their stunning country cottage, which they then spent several months renovating to make it perfect for them.<\/p>\n Dubbing it their \u2018forever home\u2019, Stacey lovingly renovated each of the bedrooms for her children and there is even a pool for them all to splash around in on sunny days. <\/p>\n She told her followers at the time: \u2018Home Sweet Home. And so a new chapter begins. We can not even describe how strange it feels that this is home. Never in a million years did we ever think this would be. <\/p>\n \u2018We feel so lucky and are so grateful to have found this hidden treasure closer to our family and further out. We can\u2019t wait to fill it with love and give it our everything. To raise our family here. And to just start a fresh. <\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m very emotional for some reason. It still hasn\u2019t sunk in and doesn\u2019t quite feel real. Thank you for all of your supportive, kind, loving messages. We love you to the moon and back and I can\u2019t wait to show you around\u2026 Here\u2019s to the next chapter in Pickle Cottage.\u2019<\/p>\n 2021 \u2013 Stacey and Joe have second child, daughter Rose <\/p>\n Shortly after moving into their \u2018forever home\u2019,<\/a> Stacey and Joe had exciting news to share with fans, as they announced that they\u2019re expecting another \u2018pickle\u2019.<\/p>\n After painting the house in their garden, Joe and Stacey\u2019s kids Harry, Zachary, Leighton and Rex stamped their handprints on a bench, next to an ultrasound of their baby brother or sister.<\/p>\n Stacey wrote: \u2018We are growing another pickle. We\u2019ve never felt so grateful\u2026 I have no words. We didn\u2019t think we would get the chance. We love you all to the moon and back. Lots of love From Me, Joe, Harry, Zach, Leighton, Rex, and our little pickle.\u2019<\/p>\n The Loose Women star gave birth to her daughter on her own birthday <\/a>in October, and shared a photo of the little one with her followers. <\/p>\n Sharing a snap of the whole family with their hands on Rose, Stacey told her followers: \u2018She\u2019s Here. Born at Pickle Cottage on mummy\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n \u2018Our little girl\u2026 Happy birthday my darling daughter\u2026 We all love you more than you could ever imagine.<\/p>\n \u2018Your brothers, your daddy and I are so in love.
