Stacey Solomon noticeably omitted her husband Joe Swash from a gushing birthday tribute to her son Zachary, as he turned 18 on Saturday.
The mother-of-five declared she was off out partying with her eldest as she shared a trio of sweet snaps with him on Instagram.
Stacey, 36, has been at the centre of rumours regarding her marriage to Joe – with the Daily Mail’s Olivia Kemp reporting their once-seamless public image is beginning to show signs of strain.
During an appearance on This Morning this week, host Ben Shephard, 51, referenced Joe’s ‘lovely’ Mother’s Day tribute to her on social media – only for Stacey to admit she hadn’t even seen it.
But Stacey shared over the weekend that her sole focus was celebrating her son Zach’s big day, but failed to include Joe in her tribute.
Stacey had her eldest son with her then-boyfriend Dean Cox when she was just 17, and also shares son Leighton, 13, with ex Aaron Barnham, and has three children with Joe, Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, two.

Stacey captioned her post: ‘Today is all about you Zachary. 18 wonderful years of you. We are SO lucky. Now let’s go OUT out @zachsolomon08.’
During Stacey’s appearance on This Morning on Wednesday, Ben brought up how she has recently been seen without her wedding ring.
Ben said: ‘There are these crazy rumours going on about the two of you at the moment… What’s going on there, Stace?’
Stacey replied: ‘What are they? Go on. There’s a new rumour each week!’
Ben explained: ‘You’ve not been wearing your ring. There might be some issues going on?’
Stacey said: ‘Do you know what, I am terrible. I don’t read any of that stuff. In fact, does anyone anymore?
‘But yeah, we just… Have I not been wearing my ring? Probably took it off to go to the toilet, or something.’
Ben went on to say: ‘There is a lot going on at the moment, because of his lake, the plan for the lake is coming to fruition.

‘He was talking to us the other day…’
Stacey joked: ‘Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake… with our marriage!’
The couple first met back in 2010 on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
But Stacey and Joe didn’t start dating until 2016 and moved in together two years later.
They got engaged in 2020 and tied the knot two years later in 2022.
Stacey and Joe are proud parents to Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, two.
Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, are also from previous relationships that Stacey had.
Joe is also dad to Harry, who is from a previous relationship.
The first time fans began to speculate that the couple could be on the rocks came when they were seen arguing on the most recent series of their show Stacey & Joe.
The pair clashed as dad Joe unexplainably ‘disappeared’ for the day in one episode, and Stacey also hung up on Joe after he branded her ‘out of order’ and slammed her for ‘overreacting’ in a heated parenting row.
But the two admitted that they didn’t want to cut the argument like other couples would be tempted to do.
Joe previously said: ‘So many people represent their lives as being so perfect on Instagram. It’s our responsibility to show the real – the highs and the lows.
‘It’s not all a bed of roses. Sometimes we argue.’
While Stacey added: ‘What you see is what you get. What we’ve learnt about each other is that we’re not a perfect couple.
‘We’ve never said we’re a perfect couple, but you get to watch yourself back, which is something that doesn’t happen often.’
