Joe Swash reveals plans to foster with Stacey but is 'sad' they won't have more of their own

Joe Swash has said that he's considering fostering with wife Stacey Solomon - but admits it's "sad" they likely won't have any more children of their own.

The adorable pair are proud parents to six kids, including Baby Belle, who was born in January this year.

Joe, 41, is often asked whether the couple could see themselves with more children, but he reckons the only way that will happen is if they foster.

Opening up about his family's future, he told The Netmums podcast: "I’m pretty sure that this is it, we can’t go there again which is really sad, we love kids, we love the baby stage, and the toddler stage, and the baby stage goes by really fast, so it is a little bit sad but I think this will be it.

"Fostering is something that me and Stacey have talked about and would love to do. We'd love to foster, we'd love to give something back, you know?

"It is something that we definitely want to do, when our kids get old enough that they're not as reliant on us."

Joe's mum Kiffy has been a foster carer for the last 15 years.

Speaking about his pride for his parent, the EastEnders star said: "My mum sort of knew she had so much more to give and so much more love to give.

"And there are so many kids out there that really need that love and support. So, we were really behind my mum. We are super proud of what she's done and what she's achieved. She’s an incredible, strong independent woman. We’re super proud of her."

Stacey and Joe recently let their hair down as they enjoyed a boozy holiday without their kids.

The TV stars dressed up to the nines as they attended a friend’s wedding in the Austrian city of Salzburg.

While they were on the plane, Stacey joked her husband was "trying to get me drunk" as she teased: "I know your game."

Stacey revealed she hadn’t really drunk alcohol since she met Joe in 2010 “so I thought 'maybe I will, I've got no kids, maybe I'll just pour myself a drink'."

Taking to Instagram later to share snaps of their child-free jaunt, the star wrote: “Mum and Dad, Out alone.”

Stacey's fans flocked to the post, telling the mum-of-five to enjoy her time away from her brood before she flew back to Pickle Cottage in Essex.
