Stacey Solomon pays emotional tribute to son Zachary on his birthday: ‘We’ve been through it all together’

Stacey Solomon poured her heart out as she paid an emotional tribute to her eldest son Zachary on his 11th birthday.

The Loose Women panellist said she “cannot remember a life without [him]” as she shared a slew of snaps of her son over the years, including an especially adorable post of herself cradling him minutes after giving birth.

“Zachary, I cannot remember life without you,” she wrote. “I cannot believe you’ve been in my life for 11 years today. I remember and cherish every second of it.

“We’ve been through it all together.”

“Graduating college where you would come with me every day and be such a good little bubba in the college crèche while I studied, to the X Factor where you were the drive for every push I needed to give myself to go as far as I could.”

Solomon also hailed him the “best big brother that ever lived”.

She continued: “Kind, caring, loving, Leighton is a very lucky young man. To blossoming into the, incredibly thoughtful, compassionate, empathetic, strong, funny, happy, human you are today.

"You have no idea what you’ve done for me and brought to my life and you probably never will. I hope I can raise and guide you the way that you deserve to be and you continue to be a shining light in the world beaming with happiness. Happy Birthday Zachary! Here’s to the next 11 years of memory making! I love you to the moon and stars and back again."

The sweet post comes a month after Solomon announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joe Swash, who she hinted she has no plans to marry.

Announcing the news, Swash shared pictures of Solomon sleeping and joked that he had been worried she had become “bored” of him, but was relieved to find out she “still loves me very much [and] has just been growing a baby”.

The pair are also parents to Solomon’s son Leighton, six and Swash's 11-year-old son Harry.
