Four years after getting married at Pickle Cottage, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are said to be moving out of their Essex abode for a fresh start, amid whispers over the state of their marriage.

It has been reported the TV duo are relocating to an eight-bedroom renovation project down the road from the place theyve called home for the last five years.

The new house comes with 30 acres of land, a swimming pool and a lake. Stacey, 36, and Joe, 44, are said to have fallen in love with the property.

Our source explains that while the big move is exciting news for the couple, it also gives them a chance to finally put all the speculation around their marriage to bed.

Its a fresh start, the source said. Pickle Cottage has been a place where Stacey and Joes relationship has been up and down. Stacey won a National Television Award while living there, they got married there, she stepped back from Loose Women. As well as some lovely times, theyve had quite a tough time there, too.

The Sun newspaper reported that the couple had recently viewed the Essex estate and had been enticed by the increase in space for their large family and the chance to give it a makeover, something that is attractive to DIY enthusiast Stacey.

This house needs a bit of love and work to make it the absolute dream home where they can make new memories, a source told the publication.

Their next chapter could be a welcome change for Stacey and Joe, who share children Rex, seven, Rose, four, and three-year-old Belle, while she has Zachary, 18, and Leighton, 14, and he has Harry, 19, from previous relationships.

There have been plenty of storms to weather while living at their 1.2 million home. As well as dealing with criticism of their behind-the-scenes BBC TV show, Stacey & Joe, including hurtful remarks about the way they come across, the couple have had to brush off rumours that things arent great between them.

After keeping tight-lipped for months and photos of Stacey not wearing her wedding ring surfacing she finally addressed the speculation during an appearance on the Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast.

She told host Dilly Carter, who she works with on the BBC makeover show, Who cares if the whole world is like, Oh, theyre on the brink of divorce. Being in the public eye creates certain pressures, but not on our relationship. If we know its not true, who cares?

She added of her husband, Sometimes I fancy the pants off him and cant wait to come home to see him. Sometimes Im like, Get out of my stratosphere stay away from me. I think were just like any other couple.

Our source says that relocating will give them a chance to move on from any bad memories.

Joe is quite spiritual and thinks there is nothing really there but bad luck, the source explained. They want to move somewhere else, theyve got a big family and they want new beginnings, a new place, and it will help things. Theyre sick of the marriage rumours, but this is a positive step.

Theres no denying their current pad also has sentimental value. Stacey and Joe married in their garden on 25 July 2022. It was a family affair with all their children having roles in the big day and the reception took place in their on-site barn.

Pickle Cottage was also the birthplace of their two youngest children Rose and Belle and home to their expanding collection of pets, which includes ducks, chickens and dogs. But the duo are said to be looking forward to getting stuck into a new refurbishment project.

Stacey loves new projects and shes going to put all her skills into making it a lovely home, our source said.

Meanwhile, the third series of their reality show airs this summer, with plans for a fourth yet to be confirmed. But with strong ratings to date, its likely in the pipeline, and our source is sure well see the renovation work on screen.

Theyre going to be filming it all, and therell be lots more content from the move there.

We cant wait!
