Stacey Solomon has revealed that she will be “giving up her showbiz career to become a stay-at-home mom” to her five children and will only work on businesses that can be done at home, aside from the occasional “passion project.”
She said her two oldest children have now reached an important stage in their lives and she also wants to spend more time with her three youngest children, whom she had with her husband Joe Swash, than she did with her first two children when they were young.
But he said, “I definitely feel like I’m at a pivotal point in my life where Zach is about to leave school and become an adult.”
“I think I’m at a point in my life where I recognize that I’ve been very busy with his life, and his life is at a really important point, and my second child will get to that point before I know it.
‘And then I have these three babies. I don’t want to miss out on what I potentially feel like I missed with my older kids.
‘And I want to be there for my older children, who I think need me now more than ever. I’ve been struggling with that in my head.’
She continued, “Every year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, ‘What’s your plan, what are your goals? Blah, blah, blah.'”
And this year, when they asked me my five-year goals, I said, “I want to be a housewife.”
‘That’s like my dream, my last dream. I just want to be with my children.
‘I mean it’s conflicting, because I also want to fulfill my dreams and my goals and the things that I’m passionate about, because if I don’t have that, will I feel dissatisfied?
Stacey’s future as a Loose Women panelist was already revealed earlier this month by one of her co-stars after she was absent from the panel for several months.
The TV personality, 34, was last seen on the panel in 2022 before going on maternity leave with her daughter Belle, who is now 15 months old.
The shocking news comes after Stacey’s husband Joe Swash refused to rule out having more children with his wife.
‘So what I’m trying to do right now is make sure that everything I work on I can do 90% of the time at home. And then just do passion projects outside the home and then try to be closer to them.
‘I love being a mom.
‘I have to sing for my grandmother once a year; She has already hired me. That’s all I’m going to do in my singing career.
“And then TV will be a small circle too, as long as I’m lucky enough to keep doing it.” One minute you have two TV shows that love you and the next you have none.’
But Stacey added: “As I got older, I felt less guilty because I actually think I’m phenomenal, I’m a phenomenal mother.”
“I think if you’re a mom who loves to be at work and I’m the mom who says, ‘Oh, I love playing with sand and shit at home,’ they’re both good moms.
‘I don’t understand why one is better than the other in my opinion.
“Whatever stage of life I am in, I could be this mother right now, but in two years, if let’s say I decided to stay home and never work again, in two years I could feel that I want to do it”. She goes back to work.
‘Does that make me a bad mother? No. It makes me human that my children can see that I am still a human being, not just a mother. I am not a mythical creature without feelings or ambitions.
But she believes that having to fight and work hard in her early years as a mother with Zach has somehow made him a better person.
She said: ‘I think I did the best job with the first one. They’re all special in different ways, but I dragged Zach along: We were in a situation.
And I told him, “You’re going to get through this with me,” and I dragged him through life to make sure our heads stayed above water.
‘And I think that makes him a completely different person.
‘If he ever sees me or Joe fighting, he goes for it. “He is very helpful and very in tune with what other people are feeling.”
