Stacey Solomon spills ‘biggest issue’ of marriage to Joe Swash in therapy clash

Stacey Solomon laid bare the “biggest issue” in her romance with Joe Swash during the freshest episode of the duo’s BBC reality show.

In a candid segment, Stacey, 35, and husband Joe, 43, dipped their toes into couple’s therapy, aiming to tackle recurring conflicts within their household dynamics.

The busy mother disclosed her exasperation with Joe, who often becomes side-tracked when she requests his assistance, leaving her to contend with multiple challenges alone.

“You’re a great dad and an amazing person, but sometimes I don’t think you take into consideration all of the fires I’ve got to put out everywhere,” she admitted to Joe.

Joe, clearly irked by the critique, retorted: “I don’t even know what to say. It’s so frustrating when I feel like all I’m trying to do is dedicate myself to my family, and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day. Then, to sit here, and listen to the fact that I’m a huge problem.”

He aired his grievance further: “All I’m hearing is I’m a huge problem in Stacey’s perfect life. I don’t hear any positive stuff about me as a person.”

Stacey then acknowledged: “I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship. I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally, as an attack on you as a whole person.”

The session then took a turn towards reconciliation, with the therapist stepping in and Joe revealing insights into his upbringing and how being diagnosed with ADHD has affected his life, reports Wales Online.

Stacey and Joe, who tied the knot in 2022, returned to Pickle Cottage, leaving any squabbles behind them.

The duo took an optimistic step forward by deciding to go for another counselling session, even though Joe was initially reluctant.

Stacey shared with her husband: “I found it helpful because I think sometimes we don’t listen to each other,” also acknowledging her tendency to want to “try to fix” things continuously.

Joe conceded that he tends to “jumps the gun” and recognised he needs to reflect more prior to reacting. He suggested: “I think we go back and see her, and take it step by step.”
