She added: "And Joe hears that and he wants to support me, but he'll do other things that aren't the stuff I'm asking him.

"But he gets frustrated because he has worked hard and he has put the effort in, but you haven't done the things I'm directly asking you for. So I've still got to manage those on my own.

"You're a great dad and you're an amazing person, but sometimes I don't think you take into consideration all the fires I've got to put out everywhere."

However Joe didn't take kindly to Stacey's words, adding: "I don't even know what to say. It's so frustrating when I feel like all I'm doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day, and then to sit here and listen to the fact that I'm a huge problem."

Upon his wife replying, "nobody is saying that", Joe stated: "No, all I'm hearing is that I'm a huge problem in Stacey's perfect life.

"I don't hear no positive stuff about me as a person."

Following the conclusion of their session Joe left the room before Stacey, leaving her looking sheepish with their therapist.

Following this candid moment, the couple reconciled as they discussed their issues and promised to work on them together.

Many fans praised the TV stars for being open about their issues, with viewers taking to X, formally known as Twitter, to reveal their feelings.

One user wrote: "After watching the latest episode of #staceyandjoe I just feel like it’s important that there’s more conversation around rejection sensitivity dysphoria because that is exactly what Joe was feeling when Stacey was talking about their life and as somebody with ADHD; it’s killer…"

Another added: "I've always liked both Stacey and Joe from the shows I've seen them on and what I know of them, but I presumed this would be another obnoxious celeb couple reality show.. boasting about how fabulous their life is. How wrong was I!!? #StaceyandJoe"

With another saying: "Joe and Stacey are very authentic. Good that they don’t pretend to have a perfect life with no problems. That wouldn’t be reality."
