Stacey Solomon felt guilty about having three babies with different dads after jibes from friends
The 29-year-old is currently expecting her third child - her first with boyfriend Joe Swash
STACEY Solomon has admitted she felt guilty about having babies with different dads after jibes from friends.
The 29-year-old is expecting her third child - her first with boyfriend Joe Swash.
She also has son Zachary, 11, with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox and seven-year-old Leighton with ex-fiance Aaron Barnham.
Speaking to Closer Magazine about her boys and past relationships, she said: "I did feel guilty about having babies with different dads.
"I didn't want my kids to have a negative or confused upbringing.
"There's a stigma about having babies with different partners - I've definitely felt pressure from people - people I don't know, and even people I do know.
"Even those close to me have had their opinions on it, and that can hurt."
Thankfully Stacey has learned to ignore such comments as she knows her two sons are happy and content.
She explained: "My boys are incredibly loved - by me and their fathers, and by Joe, who is just another positive male role model in their lives.
"And that can only be good for them. They are so content and confident and happy."
