Stacey Solomon had her first child Zachary when she was just 17, with the Loose Women star saying she feels they have "grown up together," so this week was an emotional one, with the teen hitting several milestones.
Zachary, who is now 16, celebrated finishing his GCSEs, leaving school, starting his first job and going to prom this week. Stacey marked the momentous occasions with a series of photos of her firstborn, who towers over his mother in the beautiful photos.
Along with several crying emojis, Stacey wrote: "My baby just went to prom. I don't think I've ever felt this way.

Proving she's the perfect mum to teens, Stacey added: "I'll be on standby for the after-party pick up. To the moon and back Zachary," she signed off.
Stacey's emotional post struck a chord with fellow celebrities including Carol Vorderman, who commented: "Well that's made me cry a little tear. You've been through so much and now you are mighty."
Joe Swash, who married Stacey in 2022, commented too, writing: "Where has the time gone?"

Entertaining at Pickle Cottage In another photo, Joe joins the mother-son duo, posing happily in the couple's incredible back garden, complete with trailing floral décor straight out of a five-star hotel.
Zachary and Stacey were joined by several of his friends, too, proving that Stacey's garden at Pickle Cottage is the perfect location for entertaining – and for pre-prom photo shoots, of course.

We hope he had a ball at his prom and Stacey didn't have to pick them up from the after-party too late…
