Stacey Solomon's relationship with famous face who 'still beats himself up over how it ended'

Before Stacey Solomon was married to Joe Swash, she was dating a famous American star

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are inseparable today, but before the Sort Your Life Out star met the EastEnders legend, she was dating another well known name.

The pair are gearing up for the premiere of their self-titled BBC series, Stacey & Joe, which will give fans a new look into the celebrity couple's marriage and family life.

However, before the two started dating and tied the knot, Stacey was in a relationship with none other than Steve-O of Jackass fame.

The 35-year-old began dating the 50-year-old after they met on Channel 4's The Jump, where the two were contestants.

In an interview with the Mirror, Stacey said: "I have no idea how it happened! I get embarrassed talking about it. We’re just seeing how it goes at the moment."

At the time, Steve-O poured his heart out over the X-Factor star on social media, writing on X: “About to get off this plane and see my sweetheart! Woohoo!!! #yeahbabe”.

He previously had written: “Less than two days until I’m on a plane headed to see my sweetheart! @StaceySolomon Woohoo!!!”

The pair had a 15-year age gap, with Stacey being 25 at the time, while Steve-O was 40.

She shared another posted kissing Stacey, with the caption: “Having a wonderful time with my sweetheart @staceysolomon #yeahbabe."

Ultimately, the relationship only lasted a matter of months, with Steve-O looking back at their romance in his book, A Hard Kick in the Nuts.

He wrote: "I lavished her with attention, I got what I wanted and then I broke it off.

"I'd become not only part of her life [but also] her kids' lives too. And then - poof - I was gone".

Looking back at his previous relationships, Steve-O admitted: "I'd meet some woman, pour on the charm to convince her I really cared about her (which I invariably thought I did) sleep with her a few times, then lose interest and ghost".

Looking at the end of his relationship to Stacey, he added: "To this day, I still beat myself up about the way it went down".
