The couple, who are hoping to tie the knot in the coming months, now have five children between them.
Joe has a son, 14-year-old Harry, from a previous relationship. Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary, 13, and Leighton, nine.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday’s You magazine, Stacey explained the sensible reason as to why she won’t be having anymore kids.
“We have to live within our means,” she said.
“We want to be the best parents we can. And when we were trying to have this baby, it wasn’t the process we thought it would be, so we were just so grateful to even get pregnant.”
“I don’t want to push it any more. This is enough,” the mum added.
Stacey revealed in August that she planned to deliver Rose at home amid Covid fears.
Describing the home birth, the Loose Women star said it was “incredible.”
“I knew deep down I would love to have her at home. It meant I could be with Joe the whole time and my mum could be with me, too. She’s been there for every one of the boys being born,” she said.
“I felt strange but not in full-blown labour. I wanted to make sure everything was OK. We drove to the community hospital nearby, where I’d had my appointments with the midwives.
“They examined me and told Joe to pull the car around and they’d follow us home.
“It turned out I was 8cm dilated, so they broke my waters at home and, after around 40 minutes of crazy contractions, Rose was in our arms.”
She added: “I just felt on the biggest high. I haven’t always had that rush after birth – in fact, it has been the opposite.
“But I think there was something about feeling in control and being at home, and the sun shining through my bedroom window… It just felt so surreal. I couldn’t stop smiling.”
