Stacey Solomon has ruled out having more children with Joe Swash as the celebrity couple are 'struggling' to juggle parenting.
Stacey, 33, has been married to former EastEnders star Joe, 41, since a ceremony at their Pickle Cottage home last July.
Together they share son Rex, three, Rose, one, and baby daughter Belle, born in February this year.

And Stacey who rose to fame following her appearance The X Factor in 2009, is also mum to Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, from previous relationships.
Joe is also dad to son Harry, 16, who he shares with ex Emma Sophocleous.
Obviously, that is a big crop - though many fans of the couple have wondered if they plan to increase their offspring in the future.
Well, unless the couple's minds change over the coming years, it appears that is it for the Solomon-Swash clan.
Stacey opened up to her 5.7 million Instagram followers on Wednesday in a live where she was dyeing her hair.
The former Loose Women panellist ruled out having more children but said she would love to foster when she and Joe are older and their children are all grown up.
Stacey explained: "Me and Joe spoke about it when we had one night away. We could not have any more kids.
"At this point we are struggling to say the least to be good parents, and try and work and do everything else in between. So no not right now."
She continued: "But when we're older. Because when we went away we were a little bit like 'Oh god, one day this will be us, just us two', and we've got such a massive family the house is never quiet and we are never on our own.
"And we did say 'Oh it will be sad when it's just us two and all the kids are gone, so I think I would love to [foster].
"Joe's mum fosters, and I would love to one day foster as well when we are older and all the kids are grown up and moved out, that would be our dream."
It comes after Solomon admitted she was taking every precaution to avoid getting pregnant again.
"I've got to say, me and Joe had the best time together," she began in an Instagram video.
"I think sometimes, when you're in the thick of it and we've got all the kids and I'm working and then he's working and then we're tag teaming it, it all gets a bit tense.
"So yeah, that little 36 hours together has just made me love him so much. Not that I didn't love him before!"
