Also to commemorate her late brother, the reality TV star got an eye-catching tattoo on her abdomen.
In a YouTube video back in April, she explained: ‘My stomach tattoo is very sentimental. When my brother died, I was pregnant with my firstborn. So after he was born I got a tribute on my stomach.’
She confessed people will often ask her about the intricate tattoo, even though she tries to ‘hide’ it.

Stacey explained that she’s self-conscious about the tattoo because it’s so deeply personal, and admitted she tries to keep it covered up.
‘I may or may not post a close-up one day, but it’s very sentimental to me. Even with bikinis, I’ll wear a one-piece or put a sarong over it,’ she added at the time.
Stacey is a single mum to two young sons, Kosta, five, and Kruz, three.
