Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon want amazing Christmas before the ‘kids fly the nest’

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon want to make the most of Christmas before their children “fly the nest”.
The 41-year-old TV star has 10-month-old Belle, Rex, four, Rose, two with ‘Loose Women’ panelist Stacey, 34, but he is also stepdad to her sons Zachary, 15, and 11-year-old Leighton – who she has from previous relationships – and he admitted they want to put as much effort into the festive period before the older ones lose interest.
He told Hello! Magazine:: “Christmas is all about the kids and their reactions to. Me and Stacey are so lucky, we’ve got the most amazing family and we make the most of Christmas at the minute because they’re going to grow up soon and a few of them in the next couple of years are going to fly the nest and they’re not going to be as interested.
“Me and Stacey know we’ve got make the most of it because these are real magical times for us.”
The former ‘EastEnders’ actor – who also has 16-year-old son with former fiancee Emma Sophocleous – also revealed that their children get up really early on the big day and can sometimes become a bit “overwhelmed” with all the excitement.
He explained: “Our kids get up really early. They’re up at half four or five o’clock anyway. At about 10 o’clock, we’ve gone through a few presents and things have calmed down, the kids are a little less excited, so me and Stacey take the time to ring family.
“We don’t open all the presents at once. Sometimes the kids can get a bit overwhelmed and it becomes an opening present contest.
“So we make sure that our kids always open a card first and read out loud who the present’s from before they open it. Sometimes they think ‘we’ve got something’, but I think it’s really important to know who got you something.”
