Stacey Solomon has revealed that she and boyfriend Joe Swash were ‘too impatient’ to wait to find out the gender of their baby
The Loose Woman wasn’t giving anything away, but confessed they couldn’t be more excited now that they know whether they’re getting a boy or a girl after announcing their pregnancy back in February.
“We found out, we’re really impatient!” Stacey told OK! online. “We’re not going to tell anyone because it’s not important, but we are excited.
“I think it’s nice to have something that’s ours, and we can tell our kids so they know and nobody else knows. That was our reasoning behind it, and them being able to get prepared, too.”
Already mum to sons Zachary, 10 and Leighton, six, Stacey has made no secret of the fact she’s been wanting to start a family with long term boyfriend Joe, who’s also dad to a son called Harry.
