Stacey Solomon has posted an insightful Father's Day post about her 'blended family' with her husband Joe Swash.
The Loose Women star, 34, shares three children with the former EastEnders star, 41 - Rex, 4, Rose, 1, and four-month-old Belle.
The much-loved TV star is also a proud mum to sons Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships while Joe is also a proud dad to son Harry.
Taking to Instagram on Father's Day, Stacey opened up about how being in a blended family can sometimes be 'complicated' but that she wouldn't change it for the world.
Posing in a sweet mirror selfie alongside Joe, her dad and the couple's children, Rex, Rose, and Belle, Stacey shared the insightful Father's Day message with her 6 million followers.
"My dad, their Dad, Our heroes. Happy Father's Day, Dad and Daddy," she wrote. "I know you both didn’t get enough time with your own father but oh my goodness I know they are looking down on you both so bl***y proud of the fathers you have become. Dad, not a day goes by that I don’t need you and you’re always there.
"No matter what. What a privilege it is to have you in our lives. Joe, I know it’s not easy & blended families are complicated, to say the least… but you make it all seem effortless. You’re the most incredible husband, father and father figure to ALL of our children and I feel every emotion raising our family with you.
"Everyone else comes first and nothing is ever too much especially grateful for how much time you’ve taken off recently to take over at home while I’m here there and everywhere. As hard as it is leaving some days knowing you’re there giving them every bit of love they could ever need makes it easier.
"To the moon and back Joe. To the moon and back Dad. Thinking of anyone struggling today… lots and lots of love. P.S. Rose’s sassy side eye in every picture we ever take."
Stacey welcomed baby Belle in February just one year after she and Joe welcomed their first daughter, Rose.
