For years, Stacey Solomon has been admired for her warmth, openness and fierce devotion to family. Now, the much-loved star is quietly living through one of the most emotional chapters of her life — not shaped by television or public attention, but by love, presence, and an unspoken goodbye.
In a deeply personal decision, Stacey has moved in with her grandmother so she can be by her side during what those close to the family describe as her final days.
The Loose Women panellist, 35, recently marked her grandmother’s 96th birthday with a series of tender photographs, offering fans a rare glimpse into a moment filled with reflection, gratitude and heartbreak. The images spoke softly, but powerfully — of time slowing down, and love taking centre stage.
“Family Comes Before Everything”
Those close to Stacey say the decision was never in doubt. The idea of her grandmother facing this stage of life alone was simply unthinkable.
“She didn’t want to just visit,” one source explains. “She wanted to be there — fully. To sit with her, hold her hand, talk when there were words, and share silence when there weren’t.”
Friends describe the choice as both devastating and beautiful.
“Stacey knows how precious time is right now,” an insider says. “She moved in so her nan would never feel alone. For her, family has always come before everything else — this is her way of giving back.”
Emotional Days Under One Roof
Stacey, who is married to former EastEnders actor Joe Swash, is a mum of five — balancing family life while navigating days filled with emotion. Her children have been spending time with their great-grandmother, bringing moments of laughter and light into a home otherwise heavy with reflection.
Since moving in, Stacey has quietly shared updates with loved ones, describing evenings spent reminiscing, laughing gently, and sometimes simply sitting together when words feel unnecessary.
In one message, she wrote:
“We’ve been so lucky to spend so much precious time with you. To the moon and back, Nan.”
A Home Filled With Love — and Heartbreak
Those close to the family describe the atmosphere as deeply emotional — a blend of sadness, gratitude and overwhelming love.
“She’s been Stacey’s rock her entire life,” another source says. “Now Stacey is determined to be hers at the end.”
Fans, long aware of Stacey’s close family bond, have responded with an outpouring of support. Many admitted her quiet devotion moved them to tears.
“This is what real love looks like,” one follower wrote.
Another added: “She must feel so cherished.”
Cherishing Every Moment
For Stacey, this journey is not only about preparing to say goodbye — it’s about making every remaining moment count. Cooking meals, welcoming her children into the space, and filling the home with warmth, dignity and care have become her focus.
“It’s about gratitude as much as grief,” a close friend explains. “She doesn’t want to look back wishing she’d done more. She wants to know she was there — completely — until the very end.”
A Quiet Lesson in Love
As the days grow harder, Stacey Solomon’s choice stands as a powerful reminder of what truly matters: time, presence, and family.
By choosing love over comfort and togetherness over routine, she isn’t just sharing a personal moment — she’s showing, in the quietest way, what devotion really looks like.
In doing so, Stacey offers a lesson many will recognise but never forget: that the greatest acts of love often happen away from the spotlight — in ordinary rooms, during extraordinary moments, when being there means everything. 💔
