💥 SHOCK FAMILY DECISION 😱 “We built everything from nothing — they’ll have to do the same.” 💬 An emotional Stacey Solomon has revealed that she and husband Joe Swash won’t be leaving their £6.5 million fortune to their six children. 💔 Her trembling voice stunned fans as she explained: “We want them to work for their own success — just like we did.” The revelation has sparked huge debate online! 👀
Stacey Solomon has made it clear that she and her husband Joe Swash are raising their children to understand the value of hard work and financial independence. Speaking ahead of their new BBC One reality series, Stacey & Joe, the couple revealed they won’t be passing down any inherited wealth.
Together, the pair share three young children — Rex (5), Rose (3), and Belle (2). Stacey also has two sons, Zachary (17) and Leighton (12), from previous relationships, while Joe is father to 16-year-old Harry from a former partner.
The 35-year-old TV star, whose net worth is estimated at £5 million, explained that their children earn pocket money by helping out with household chores around their countryside home, Pickle Cottage. She added that as the children grow older, she and Joe want them to find their own paths in life.
“We don’t have inherited wealth to pass down through generations,” she told The Mirror. “This is our career, and we’ll support the family as best we can — but eventually, the kids will need to stand on their own two feet.”

Stacey, who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2009, credits her photographer father for instilling in her the importance of earning her own money. “Once we started working, we had to contribute to the household. I loved the feeling of financial independence, and I want my children to feel that too.”
“It’s about more than money — it’s about self-worth and a sense of fulfillment. I want them to grow up feeling capable and proud of what they achieve, not just handed everything.”
The couple’s new documentary-style show, Stacey & Joe, promises a behind-the-scenes look at their life in Pickle Cottage — from parenting and family routines to moments with their pets: two dogs and four ducks.
