So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe. Joe X."

Stacey Solomon's birth announcement of baby Zachary
Stacey was not in the public eye when she welcomed her first child, Zachary, in 2008. She was 18 at the time and the father was her then-boyfriend Dean Cox.

The then mum-of-one auditioned for X Factor in 2009 when Zachary was one year old, however strict ITV rules meant that all contestants had to live in a house share together in London, so Stacey was apart from her son. She would return home to Dagenham to spend time with Zachary when she had a break from filming.
