Stacey Solomon has been soaking up the sun with hubby Joe Swash and their adorable brood on a stunning family getaway. The celeb mum, known for lifting the lid on domestic life, confessed she felt a tug of "pressure" to maintain a certain image, but Stacey has now embraced a newfound confidence and is happier than ever. Revealing to fans that her workout regime hasn't been as strict lately, an insider shared that the TV star is content prioritising her family fun over fitness routines.
"Stacey is blissfully happy and she doesn't care what anyone else thinks," said a source this week. "She's on holiday and spending time with her loved ones, she's happy being a mum and isn't worried about fitting into any jeans or anything like that. She just wants to relax and enjoy being herself with the kids," they added to OK! .
Mother to Rex, five, Rose, two, baby Belle at 18 months, with her two-year spouse Joe, 42, and also mum to Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, from past relationships. Stacey recently admitted she had a few nerves about donning swimwear. She admitted: "I haven't committed to the gym this year the way I was able to last year.
I don't know why but for some reason I was conscious about it before coming away. I worried people would notice (so silly I know as I usually don't even think about those things, but I felt a weird pressure). "However looking back on pics from the beach yesterday I can see I'm still so beautiful.
I look a little different from my last holiday but just as beautiful." Stacey also emphasised the importance of the messages she conveys to her children about body image, particularly to her two younger daughters, stressing the need to instil a strong sense of self-worth and body positivity. "Doing my everything to make sure my girls know how beautiful they are and don't measure their beauty against anyone else.
And do the things they love because they make them feel good, not look a certain way," she affirmed. OK!'s source also reported that Stacey is feeling confident and assured, not succumbing to any external pressures, with husband Joe, who Stacey calls her "biggest cheerleader", being absolutely smitten with his wife's confident outlook. "Stacey is very proud of her body, she's had five kids and is really happy with the way she looks.
She doesn't want to feel any pressure, it's refreshing. She's proud to show off a mummy's body. "And Joe just adores her.
He loves that she's always herself and is genuine, she's not posing. She's happy being natural and that's the way Joe likes her, he loves her bikini body." The Sort Your Life Out star is a staunch advocate for body positivity.
She recently took to her Instagram to express gratitude for the kind messages about her appearance from fans, but also highlighted her "hip cushions" and the ability to tuck a deodorant stick and hairbrush under her breasts post-workout. Stacey's message to her followers was clear. She wrote: "I think it's important to see you can have abs (some days) and also have hip cushions and a womb! ! ! You're perfect and I'm sure the bodies you may aspire to, look different, depending on the day/clothes/hormones/angles.
