Stacey Solomon doesn't want to give up her surname when she gets married.

The 'Loose Women' panellist has made no secret of the fact she wants to settle down with her beau Joe Swash in the near future, but she's adamant she won't take on his last name because she wants to have to same family name as her sons Zachary, nine, and Leighton, five, whom she has from two previous relationships, for ever.
Speaking on today's (23.01.18) show, she said: "I always want to be Stacey Solomon. I love my surname and it really makes me feel proud because I love my family. If I didn't like my name, it would be nice to have an option and borrow someone else's but you could just change it.
"Joe wouldn't take my name. He's got a child so his child has his surname and I think that's another big factor in it. My children have got my surname and I think we all want to remain the same surnames as my children, we wouldn't want to be different from that. Plus I love my name, it's so much better than Joe's."
But even though she's not keen on taking his last name, Stacey - who has been dating the 35-year-old actor since the end of 2015 - has been talking about getting engaged and married every day.
She said: "I joke about wanting to get married all the time. Even if I wasn't with Joe I still want to have a wedding and wear a dress one day. I don't think I'd engage in a relationship if I didn't think it was forever, otherwise what's the point? So I really hope Joe's the one. I have been in relationships where I've thought they were forever but they weren't, so you just never know."
And the 28-year-old beauty would also like to have a baby with Joe, who has 10-year-old son Harry with Emma Sophocleous, after seeing her sister with her baby.
