Stacey Solomon has admitted she’s so broody her “ovaries hurt” but she’s still not ready to have a baby with boyfriend Joe Swash.
The Loose Women star and former EastEnders actor have been together for three years since friendship turned to romance in Australia filming I’m A Celebrity and its spinoff show.
Stacey, 28, has often spoken of her desire to have more children and a Disney Princess-themed wedding on Loose Women.
But in recent magazine interviews, she said the time still isn’t right.
“Realistically I wouldn’t have a baby right now, but I am always broody,” she told Closer.
She added in a chat with Reveal about why she’s so broody: “It’s not even about Joe. It’s just the stage of life I am at. I’m not really ready to have a baby now anyway.”
Stacey, who first found fame on The X Factor, is already a mum to Zachary, ten, and Leighton, six, from previous relationships.
Joe, 36, also had a son, Harry, ten, before he met Stacey.
As for any plans to tie the knot in the near future, Stacey told Closer: “We’re really happy so we might as well just stay together happy, and if we need or want to get married at some point, then we will.”

She then told Reveal it’s a wedding she’s more interested in than a marriage!
“I don’t actually want to get married, I just want a wedding!” she declared. “I don’t want to sign a contract but I would like to wear a dress and declare my love for Joe.”
Last year Stacey uploaded a video on Instagram where she revealed she’d ended up trying on wedding dresses when she was supposed to be shopping for a red carpet event.
“I just couldn’t resist. I say we should be allowed to wear these dresses for any event or casual brunches or just around the house! Oh my goodness I nearly cried when I had to take it off,” she wrote of the white lace gown.
Previously on Loose Women, Stacey has revealed she and Joe have discussed what their wedding day might be like.
Speaking about planning a wedding, Stacey said: “I think you do have to compromise, because I would want Joe to compromise on everything when it comes to our wedding!
“Luckily he doesn’t mind, we’ve spoken about it and he really wouldn’t want to get involved at all so I would get to run the ship.”

She added with a giggle: “But if he turned around and had valid reasons about why he didn’t want a big wedding and certain things I would have to consider it. Would it change my mind? I don’t know!”
It seems Stacey may have to make some sacrifices when her big day comes though as the Disney fan admitted: “I’d prefer birds to get me dressed! That’s the dream!”
Just like Cinderella when she goes to the ball but not very practical, Stace!
