Earlier this month Stacey was referred to as Kevin ‘now wife’ during an interview on Simon Mundie’s podcast Life Lessons – sparking speculation of a secret wedding.
The couple met while competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, going onto win the show, and their romance came to light several months later.
During the episode, host Simon said: ‘We are half way through Strictly Come Dancing season 2023. So what better time to revisit my conversation with ex glitterball champ and strictly favourite Kevin Cliffton.

‘Kev is a lovely bloke and I have two clips from our chat here… The second is about his experience on Strictly, finishing second on numerous occasions before winning with his now wife Stacey Dooley.’
Stacey recently revealed that marrying her boyfriend Kevin ‘isn’t massively important to her.’
The presenter is set to offer insight into her family life in a one-off special of her series Stacey Sleeps Over, showing fans the challenges she and Kevin have faced adjusting to being parents.
And in a candid new interview Stacey has admitted motherhood is her ‘hardest gig ever,’ and for now she and Kevin have ruled out another baby as they’re ‘failing’ at being parents.

Stacey told The Sun she’s in less of a hurry to marry Kevin as he’s already been married and divorced three times.
Stacey said: ‘Marriage has never been massively important to me. Also, it’s well documented that Kev’s done it a couple of times before.
‘So, you do have to bear that in mind, coming down the aisle like, ”Hello everyone, I know what you’re all thinking”. It’s just never been something I’ve dreamt about. But I couldn’t have done this (motherhood) without Kev.’
In the raw documentary, Stacey reflects on whether she’d like to have another child, while still getting to grips with the challenges of raising a newborn, including raging hormones and lack of sleep.
