The couple also have children from previous relationships.
Although Stacey and Joe’s Essex home is very busy with all the kids, they are keen to expand their family in the future.
Joe’s mum Kiffy has been a foster carer for the last 15 years and it has inspired him to do the same.
“It’s something that Stacey and I have talked about and it’s something we’ll always consider,” Joe recently told The Mirror.
“When our kids get older and the last ones are at secondary school, maybe then we’ll try to foster ourselves.”
He added: “Stacey has seen how important it is and how needed loads of really lovely foster carers are because there’s not enough out there.

“We’ve not said it’s set in stone and we’re definitely going to do it but it’s something that we’re both open-minded about.
“We love kids and we’ve seen exactly what my mum has done for Daniel. We could do the same. We’d love to.
“It’ll either be us having another one or maybe fostering. It’d be nice to foster just to give something back.”
Stacey shares Leighton, 11, with Aaron Barham and 15-year-old Zachary with Dean Cox.
Meanwhile Joe is dad to his son Harry, 16, from his previous relationship ex Emma Sophocleous.
Joe has recently filmed a BBC documentary looking at the care system in the UK.
The show, Joe Swash: Teens In Care, will air next week on Tuesday 11 July at 9pm.
The doc will highlight the struggles that young people go through and those who have been “let down” by the system.
