The couple got together in 2016 and have been together ever since. But Stacey is not the first famous face Joe Swash has dated.<\/p>\n<p>Before Joe ended up with Stacey, he was in a relationship with Emma Sophocleus and then his <em>EastEnders<\/em> co-star, Kara Tointon.

Joe said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With me and Harry, it was tricky with his mum. We had to go to court and stuff like that. So, in hindsight it&#8217;s a great thing, but yeah, me and Hal, it&#8217;s been a strange one for Hal, he&#8217;s had to do a lot of adapting&#8230; I do feel quite sorry for Hal for what he&#8217;s had to go through. It&#8217;s just one of those things, his mum and I weren&#8217;t agreeing on certain things and we had to go to court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Joe Swash continued to say that &#8220;we&#8217;re in each other&#8217;s lives on a daily basis now,&#8221;
