"Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy," she told The Guardian in 2019.
"That's why we've turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds."

She added: "What I am happy to say is Kev's amazing, I'm happy, life happens, I've got an amazing career and I'm very lucky."

Previously, Stacey had admitted that she'd love to start a family with Kevin, and was far more interested in that than the prospect of getting married.
During an episode of her show Stacey Sleeps Over, she shared that she wasn't in a rush to tie the knot with the pro dancer, who has been married three times.
"Kev and I have been together for two years," she had said. "I don't think I want to get married. I think I'd be more interested in starting a family than getting married."
