Steve-O and Stacey Solomon were the oddest celebrity couple of all time and it isn’t even close. The two hooked up after meeting on Channel 4’s The Jump back in February 2015, but by summer that year they’d already broken up.
Steve-O explains in his new book, A Hard Kick In The Nuts, how he was obsessed with her at the beginning, but soon lost interest…
“I was smitten, I lavished her with attention, I got what I wanted and then I broke it off.
I had become not only part of her life, I’d become part of her kids’ lives too. And then — poof — I was gone.”
He says this was typical of him back then as he’d get bored with sexual partners quickly…
“I’d meet some woman, pour on the charm to convince her I really cared about her (which I invariably thought I did) sleep with her a few times, then lose interest and ghost. Wash, rinse, repeat.”
He feels bad about treating Stacey this way as she let him meet her children and form bonds with them. But he’s at least comforted by the idea that Stacey doesn’t hate his guts:
“To this day, I still beat myself up about the way it went down. Ironically, I don’t think Stacey does.
We aren’t in touch any more, but she has corresponded with my family and seems to bear no ill toward me.
She seems to be a happy person who can go through life without gigantic grudges, even when they might be totally justified. What a freak.”
Sounds like Stacey Solomon handled the whole thing like a grown-up. She’s married to Joe Swash now anyway so I doubt she’s given Steve-O a second thought in years. Makes a nice change from celebrity ex-couples burying each other in the press even though it did end awkwardly from the sounds of things. Instead we’ve got Steve-O lamenting his days as a player all these years later and wishing he could have handled it differently. Just such a hilariously unlikely couple in any case.
