Search for Fiona Solomon and you will find a lot of confident writing about a woman who has spent decades avoiding attention. She is the mother of TV presenter and Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon, and beyond that most of what circulates online is thinly sourced. We have gone through the reliable material and set out what is genuinely confirmed, what is merely repeated, and what searchers actually want to know.
Who Is Fiona Solomon?
Fiona Solomon is best known as the mum of Stacey Solomon, one of the most-followed personalities on British TV. She is not a celebrity in her own right and has never sought a public profile. Her notability is entirely borrowed: people search her name because Stacey mentions her warmly but rarely shows her, and because Fiona asked to be kept off her daughter’s cameras and social feeds.
That single decision — to stay private while her daughter built a career on openness — is why you are reading about her at all. She does not appear on the family’s BBC series Stacey & Joe, she is not on Instagram in any verified capacity, and she has given no interviews of her own. The gap between how famous her daughter is and how invisible she chooses to be is the whole story.
Early Life and Background
This is where you should be careful with what you read elsewhere. Several aggregator and AI-generated bio pages state Fiona’s maiden name as “Nash,” describe a vicar father, or assign her a specific religious upbringing. None of these details are backed by a credible, named source. They appear to have been invented or guessed and then copied between sites until they looked like fact. We are not repeating them as confirmed.
What is reasonably established is the family setting Stacey grew up in. Stacey Solomon was born in Dagenham, east London, in 1989 and was raised there alongside her older sister, Jemma, and a brother, Matthew. Fiona and her then-husband, David Solomon, were the parents at the centre of that household. Beyond the London upbringing, verifiable biographical detail about Fiona’s own childhood — where exactly she was born, her schooling, her family of origin — simply is not in the public record.
That absence is not an oversight on our part. It reflects a deliberate choice by Fiona to keep her life offline, and we would rather tell you plainly that a fact is unknown than dress up a guess as reporting.
Career
Here is the honest answer: Fiona Solomon’s profession has never been confirmed by a credible source. You will see claims that she worked as a nurse, but we could find no on-the-record confirmation of this from Stacey or from any first-party reporting — so we are flagging it as unverified rather than presenting it as fact.
The contrast with her daughter is the useful part. Stacey Solomon has built a highly public career — runner-up on The X Factor in 2009, I’m a Celebrity winner in 2010, a long-running Loose Women seat, and craft and lifestyle series that turn her home life into content. Fiona sits at the exact opposite end of that spectrum. Whatever she has done for a living, she has treated it, like the rest of her life, as her own business. That is the most accurate thing anyone can say about her “career” without inventing detail.
Personal and Family Life
This is the area with the most solid, repeatedly reported information, and it answers the questions most people are really asking.
Fiona was married to David Solomon, and together they had two daughters, Stacey and Jemma. Are Stacey Solomon’s mum and dad still together? No. Fiona and David divorced when Stacey was around nine years old. Stacey has spoken openly over the years about her parents’ separation and how it shaped her childhood between two homes.
David Solomon went on to remarry, and Stacey has described a large, blended family as a result — a network of parents, step-parents and half and step siblings that she speaks about affectionately. So while the marriage ended decades ago, the wider family did not fracture in the way the word “divorce” sometimes implies.
Fiona’s most consistent public role has been as a devoted, hands-on grandmother. Stacey has said her mum was present at the births of her children and remains a close, steady presence in her life. The bond between the two is well documented in Stacey’s own words, even as Fiona herself stays out of frame. If you want more profiles that untangle a well-known family this way, our profile of Nicole Osbourne and our piece on Mercedes Spall take a similar facts-first approach.
Why She Avoids the Spotlight (Where Is She Now)
Where is Stacey Solomon’s mum? The plain answer is that she lives privately, away from television and social media, and there is no public address, location or “disappearance” story to tell — despite how some headlines frame it. She is not missing. She is simply not participating.
The clearest reason is one Stacey has explained herself: Fiona asked not to be posted on social media. Stacey has said she respects her mum’s wish to stay off Instagram, which is why a woman so close to one of Britain’s most-photographed families almost never appears in the endless stream of family content. It is a boundary, honoured.
That same boundary explains her absence from Stacey & Joe. The series documents Stacey’s life with husband Joe Swash and their children, but Fiona’s decision to remain private means she is not part of the on-screen cast. The reported reasoning is consistent across outlets: she does not want to be filmed.
The exception people point to is a 2017 appearance on Loose Women, when Fiona joined Stacey on the show — a rare, warm moment that only stands out because it is so unusual. It remains the clearest public glimpse of the relationship, and the fact that it is still cited nearly a decade later tells you how seldom she steps forward.
Latest Updates
As of 2026, Fiona Solomon’s status is unchanged in every way that matters: she remains a private grandmother and a central figure in Stacey’s personal life, without a public profile of her own. Stacey continues to reference her mum fondly in interviews and posts while keeping her image out of them, exactly as Fiona prefers.
Because Fiona gives no interviews and holds no verified accounts, any “latest” claim about her should be treated with caution. If you see a fresh, specific detail attributed to her, check whether it traces back to Stacey’s own words or to a named, first-party source — and if it does not, treat it as speculation. That is the safest way to read anything written about a person who has chosen, consistently, to say nothing at all. For more in this vein, see our profile of Sunetra Sastry.
The short version: Fiona Solomon is Stacey Solomon’s private mum, divorced from David Solomon since Stacey’s childhood, a beloved grandmother, and a woman whose own biography remains largely — and deliberately — unwritten. Anyone telling you more than that with total certainty is guessing.
