Stacey and former EastEnders star, Joe, also have a daughter Rose, born in October 2021, and a three-year-old son Rex. Stacey has older sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, while Joe has eldest son Harry, 15, from a previous relationship.
In the latest picture shared on social media and reported by Manchester Evening News, the Sort Your Life Out star said her heart was 'bursting' as the family beamed for the camera on Sunday, March 5 - and Rex pulled a funny face.
"My whole heart is bursting," Stacey wrote.. "Feeling like the actual Brady Bunch Happy Sunday from our crazy family to yours." She then explained the reason why she had requested the colour coordination for the treasured photo. "And yes I washed my hair today so I told everyone to find something purple and mark the occasion with a family photo," she said with a laughing emoji.
The photo melted the hearts of celebs and social media users. Vanessa Feltz commented: "Just gorgeous!" Others wrote: "This is SO wholesome!!!" And: "I cant cope with the cuteness of this."
The replies continued: "Joy, total joy. Don’t get me wrong, I have 5 kids so know this is just a snapshot and the reality is mostly chaos. But joyous all the same xx", said one person with another adding: "A family full of love , fun and craziness! Just pure perfection".
Other fans remarked on the change in Rex, who recently had his long hair cut short. "Just gorgeous and Rex has had his haircut again, looks proper grown up", wrote one follower. "No way is that Rex at the front when did he get so big!!" echoed another.
Before washing her tresses for the first time in three weeks, Stacey had a laugh with her Instagram followers as she gave a 'thank you' speech to those who have 'stood by her' including her husband. "Just me making a thank you speech to everyone who's stuck by me and my greaseball hair for the last three weeks". She added: "I feel emotional about it honestly. I feel like I should make a speech it's been that long."
