Stacey Solomon, 35, reconnects with son Zach, 17, after explosive TV argument
Stacey Solomon has seemingly reconnected with her eldest son Zach following an explosive televised argument.
In an apparent reconciliation following their heated on-screen row just weeks ago, the TV star has taken her son on a special two-day trip to Paris for Pokemon hunting as a birthday treat.
The 35-year-old Sort Your Life Out star and her 17-year-old son were photographed together at iconic Parisian landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, during their gaming adventure in the French capital.
The mother-son getaway comes after viewers witnessed an intense argument between the pair on Stacey’s BBC reality show in April, during which Zach swore at his mother over a dispute about cleaning up after a party.
Solomon shared her joy about the rare one-on-one time with her firstborn in an emotional Instagram post, writing: “Two days with my Zach. Why are these the best pics ever? They make me so happy! Me & you Zachy.”
She explained the significance of their trip: “We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it’s something we’ve done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest.
“So for his birthday this year, we got tickets & we have been counting down the days.”
The presenter added: “Having a young adult son like Zach is just the absolute dream & spending time with just us two doesn’t happen often, but when it does, my soul regenerates.”
She finished by writing: “To the moon & back Zach! BEST POKEMON TRIP EVER!”

The televised confrontation occurred during the opening episode of “Stacey & Joe” when Solomon attempted to wake Zach the morning after she had allowed him to host a party for his friends.
When the presenter insisted he help with the cleanup and threatened to wake his friends for chores, Zach responded angrily: “No! What are you doing – you’re p***ing me off!”
Solomon immediately reacted to his language, warning: “If you swear at me one more time Zach. No, I’m not joking!”
She added firmly: “Just because there are people here doesn’t mean I won’t have that argument with you.”
Solomon became a mother at 17 when she gave birth to Zach, before finding fame on The X Factor.
She also has 12-year-old son, Leighton, from a previous relationship.
After meeting husband Joe Swash on I’m A Celebrity in 2010, the couple went on to have three more children: six-year-old Rex, three-year-old Rose, and two-year-old Belle.
Despite their full household at Pickle Cottage, Solomon revealed her husband would like more children, though she’s less enthusiastic: “Joe would like me to be a baby machine! I quit! I quit. My pelvic floor is a shambles.”
