Stacey Dooley admitted she had no interest in tying the knot with her dancing pro partner Kevin Clifton.
The 36-year-old documentary maker met her match while taking part on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and has recently welcomed her first child with 40-year-old dancer Kevin.
Now six months old, Minnie arrived on January 17 of this year with Stacey announcing the happy news online, writing: ‘Our Daughter is here.
‘My little masterpiece! I’m COMPLETELY OBSESSED. Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x [sic].’
The filmmaker has since opened up about her family plans and revealed she had no desire to marry the father of her child – who has been married and divorced three times.
Speaking candidly, the mum-of-one told The Sun: ‘ 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.
‘It’s weird. I’ve always loved him, but it’s a different love I have for Kev now.’
Stacey and Kevin were paired up as dancing partners in 2018 and went on to win the glitterball trophy, following which a romantic connection blossomed off-screen.

The star continued spilling details on her home life with the talented dancer and said: ‘I don’t subscribe to the idea that you offer more stability if you’re married because we know loads of marriages end in divorce.
‘But Kev, I don’t want to sound too gushing or soppy, but I couldn’t have done this without Kev. I couldn’t have done this with anyone else.’
She went on to share her ideas about welcoming a sibling for Minnie: ‘You’re so tired and sometimes you really feel like you’re in the trenches, it’s a haze and you’re just trying to figure it all out.

‘I think I would love to have more babies. But I said to Kev the other day, “Don’t you want to do this again?”. And he went, “Are you nuts? You’re over-tired!”.
‘I don’t know how people have four children. I’ve had one and am completely failing.’
