STACEY Solomon has opened up about having more children with Joe Swash and the graphic reason she'd struggle with carrying any more.
The duoshare daughtersRose, three, and Belle, two, as well as son Rex, five.
They all live together at Pickle Cottage alongside Zach, who recently turned 17, and 12-year-old Leighton from Stacey's previous relationships.
Meanwhile,Joe, 43, is also parent toeldest son Harry, who he shares with ex Emma Sophocleous.
But it seems that there won't be any more kids on the cards for the couple just yet despite Stacey admitting Joe wishes she was a “baby machine”.
In a new interview ahead of the launch of their BBC reality series, Joe admitted he was desperate to become a dad again but it seemed his wife was not as keen.
The former EastEnders actor revealed: “I think me and Stacey are so blessed that we're able to have kids and have this amazing family. But yeah, I'd love to [have more].”
Interjecting, Stacey quipped back: “Joe would like me to be a baby machine, which I have been for the last five years.”
As Joe pleaded that he wanted “one more”, Stacey defiantly answered back: “I quit! My pelvic floor is in shambles. It’s screaming at me.I can't.
“I can't do it again. I would love to, like maybe when they're all a bit older and they're all at independent school.
“Then if we're lucky enough, if we were privileged enough to be able to have a baby then, then that's when I would consider it.
“But right now, I just, I'm finally feel like I'm recovering from three consecutive births. Like it's a lot.”
Whilst it seems that any more children of their own is off the cards for now, Stacey and Joe have not ruled out the possibility of fostering children later down the line.
Joe's mum famously fostered children as he was growing up with the TV presenter having previously spoken about the importance of fostering in society.
Addressing if it could work for him and Stacey, Joe said: “We've made no decisions, but it's definitely something that we've considered.
“Look, my mum started fostering because she knew she had so much more love to give to a child that didn't have any.
“And I feel like our house is full of love and we could offer so much to someone.
“So if the opportunity did arrive and we were in the right place, I think that it'd be something me and Stacey would be amazed at.”
Stacey then added: “We talk about it a lot. It's definitely something we'd like to consider in the future and be there for somebody.”
The couple have also admitted they aren't “perfect”as they prepare to bare all on the programme – including airing some of their rows and arguments.
Stacey said: “I think in terms of what we've learned by each other is that there's things that – we're not a perfect couple.
“We've never said we're a perfect couple, but you get to watch yourself back, which is something that doesn't happen often.
“You might go to see somebody and talk through your relationship and everything, and they might give you advice, but you never get to first hand witness when you're having bickering between each other, where that comes from, where it starts, where it ends.
“And we found that really interesting, haven't we? Because we think that there's definitely things in our communication where we're like, wow, we could do that better.
“It makes you reflect more, which I think has been a positive, but also a really eye opening thing.”
Stacey& Joe airs at 8pm onTuesday April 1, onBBC OneandBBC iPlayer.
