In a jaw-dropping revelation, it’s been revealed that Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash, one of TV’s most beloved couples, are NOT legally married — despite their extravagant wedding at their £1.2 million home, Pickle Cottage, in 2022!
The couple, who tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at their sprawling family home in July 2022, had originally planned to make the union official afterward, but they’ve yet to do so. Stacey, 36, and Joe, 44, have openly admitted that their wedding wasn’t legally binding, as their private home lacked the necessary civil ceremony license to register their marriage at the time.
Three and a Half Years Later — Still Not Official!
Despite the months of planning and public declarations of love, three and a half years on, the couple is still yet to finalize their marriage. It’s a bombshell that might leave many fans scratching their heads, especially after seeing the pair on their BBC reality show, Stacey & Joe, where they showcased their lives as parents to six children.
A source close to the couple revealed, “They always intended to do the legal part, but life got in the way with their busy schedules and children.”

Behind the Scenes of Their Dream Wedding
The couple’s wedding day, though stunning, had always been intended as a private blessing. Stacey explained that their home wasn’t licensed for a legal ceremony, but they went ahead with a relaxed, intimate celebration surrounded by close family and friends.

But Stacey and Joe have always prided themselves on showing the real, unfiltered side of their lives. In fact, on their show, the couple didn’t shy away from revealing their heated arguments and honest moments.
Joe famously said, “So many people make their lives look perfect on Instagram. We want to show the truth — the highs and the lows.” Stacey added, “What you see is what you get.”
