Stacey Solomon and her spouse Joe Swash have shared their emotional journey of homeownership, recounting how they used to leave their newly purchased Essex property, Pickle Cottage, in tears every day. The couple acquired the house in 2021 for around £1.3 million, offering fans glimpses into their family life there.

In a conversation with her co-star Dilly Carter on Sort Your Life Out: Unpacked, the 36-year-old expressed her pride in having a place to call home. Solomon reminisced about the initial days at Pickle Cottage, revealing that they were overwhelmed by the reality of owning such a grand house, a far cry from their humble upbringings in Islington and Dagenham.

After buying the property, Stacey informed her followers that it required significant attention and care, eagerly anticipating sharing the renovation progress. Since then, the mother-of-five has diligently revamped various parts of the house and the garden, providing regular updates to her audience.

Apart from interior renovations, the couple has also added a swimming pool and a duck pond to their residence, which Solomon described as the most challenging project at Pickle Cottage thus far. Together with their five children, Stacey and Joe have settled into their home, with the pair tying the knot there in 2022 after a six-year relationship.

In a podcast discussion, Stacey openly talked about the dynamics of enduring the ups and downs of a long-term partnership. She emphasized that despite public scrutiny, their relationship remains unaffected, with occasional fluctuations in feelings being part of their normal couple experience.
