STACEY Solomon and Joe Swash didn't always agree on having a fifth child, according to recent interviews.

The pair have announced their fifth child is on the way but previously seemed to be at odds over extending their family.

Stacey previously stated that her daughter Rose, 1, would be her last child in an interview with You magazine in September 2021.

The former X factor star stated: "We have to live within our means. We want to be the best parents we can.

"And when we were trying to have this baby, it wasn’t the process we thought it would be, so we were just so grateful to even get pregnant.

"I don’t want to push it anymore. This is enough."

The Loose Women panellist even remarked that Rose would be her last child when in the final stages of her pregnancy, when she posted a series of bump photos.

In the caption she said: "Taking in Every Last Second. Thank you dad for helping me make special memories tonight… I wish I'd done this every time but I'm so glad we did it this time.

"For the last time… So grateful for the chance to grow you little one, now we can't wait to meet you."

In October, however, when asked about having more children, Joe sang a different tune.

He told Fabulous magazine: "Having kids is addictive".

He went on to say: "I love it. I love being a dad and a husband. If I can be half what my dad was to us as a family, then I’d be happy.

"And I'm never going to say never to more kids. Let's see what happens."

Stacey has two older children, Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships as well as Rex, 3, and Rose whom she shares with husband Joe.

Joe also has son Harry, 15, from his previous relationship with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous.
