“Zachary time. Picked up Zach from college and we are learning to drive. Honestly, where does the time go?” 

she wrote, clearly feeling sentimental about how fast the years have flown by.

Her words struck a chord with many of her fans, who have followed her journey since she first found fame on The X Factor. Zachary, who is about to turn 17, was just a child when Stacey first stepped into the spotlight, making his transition into adulthood feel even more poignant for long-time followers.

A Big Day for Belle – Starting Nursery

It wasn’t just Zachary’s new milestone that had Stacey feeling emotional. Her youngest child, Belle, who just turned two, also hit a major landmark—her first day of nursery.

Sharing her feelings on Instagram, Stacey admitted that watching Belle step into this new chapter was overwhelming. “My eldest is learning to drive and my youngest is off to nursery tomorrow. My heart can’t cope,” she confessed, adding a crying emoji to illustrate her emotions.

Stacey captioned the video with: “How it started… How it’s going.”

In the post, Stacey shared her thoughts on the strong bond between her daughters. “Belle ran into nursery and didn’t look back. She had the best day, she didn’t mention us once,” she wrote, adding a laughing-crying emoji. “I’m convinced that Belle is so confident and content because she knows she has the best friend in the world by her side, always looking out for her and always there when she needs her.”

She went on to praise Rose, saying, “Sisters are so special. And Rose, you are the most incredible big sister Belle could have wished for. From the moment she was born. Happy first day at nursery, Belle. The world is yours.”
