Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are one of the UK's most prominent showbiz couples, having met on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and later marrying at their home, Pickle Cottage, in 2022. While their relationship appears strong, recent reports have questioned the legal status of their wedding, suggesting it may not be officially recognised. This has also highlighted differences in their financial standings and property ownership.
Stacey Solomon's net worth has grown significantly since her rise to fame on The X Factor in 2009, where she finished third. By 2019, she was reported to have earned her first million, and by 2022, her net worth was estimated at £5 million. She reportedly earns around £12,000 per sponsored Instagram post and approximately £27,000 per week from her Tap to Tidy books. Her company, Key Map Entertainments, has invested in property, with a portfolio thought to be worth around £6 million.
Joe Swash, known for his role as Mickey Miller on EastEnders and winning I'm A Celebrity in 2008, has an estimated net worth of £1.5 million, according to Spear's magazine. He has faced financial difficulties, having been declared bankrupt twice, in 2009 and 2013, due to unpaid tax bills. However, he is no longer bankrupt and has earned income from various TV roles, including presenting Celebrity Extra Camp and appearing on Hole in the Wall.
Pickle Cottage, the couple's £1.2 million mansion in Brentwood, is solely owned by Stacey Solomon, according to official documents. She purchased the four-bedroom property in March 2021 for £1.3 million and has since undertaken extensive renovations, which she shares with fans on social media. The property features two bathrooms and three reception rooms.
Despite the disparity in their net worths and property ownership, Stacey and Joe have built a life together with their children. They have been open about teaching their children the value of money, requiring them to earn their pocket money. The couple's financial arrangements, including the sole ownership of Pickle Cottage, may offer protection for both parties in the event of a separation.
