Stacey Solomon's 16-year-old son Zachary towers over her amid emotional milestones
Stacey Solomon had her first child Zachary when she was just 17, with the Loose Women star saying she feels they have "grown up together," so this week was an emotional one, with the teen hitting several milestones.
Zachary, who is now 16, celebrated finishing his GCSEs, leaving school, starting his first job and going to prom this week. Stacey marked the momentous occasions with a series of photos of her firstborn, who towers over his mother in the beautiful photos.
Along with several crying emojis, Stacey wrote: "My baby just went to prom. I don't think I've ever felt this way.
"My Zachary, has finished his GCSEs, left school, started his first job and is off to his prom. Zach you are the best thing that ever happened to me. We've grown up together. I just cannot believe how that time has flown by. Go and have the best night ever. You deserve it my darling."
Proving she's the perfect mum to teens, Stacey added: "I'll be on standby for the after-party pick up. To the moon and back Zachary," she signed off.
