Watch: Joss Stone Announces Pregnancy Weeks After Adopting Baby Boy
Joss Stone‘s family is growing a little more.
Two weeks after the “Right to Be Wrong” singer announced that she and her husband Cody DaLuz had adopted a baby boy, Joss revealed she is pregnant with their fourth child.
“Honestly, Shocked was an understatement,” she wrote on Instagram Dec. 19. “Nothing and no one can take our joy now. We are so chuffed !!!! Maybe we should call the ‘less is more tour the preggo tour.”
Alongside the caption, the 37-year-old—who is also mom to 3-year-old Violet and 2-year-old Shackleton—shared a slideshow of photos reading the positive pregnancy test. She wrote onscreen, “The one where mummy finds out…”
Earlier this month, Joss explained that they had been trying to adopt “for a while.” She posted a clip of the moment they learned their baby Bear was ready to go home, as well as being able to hold him at the hospital.
“This is what happened to us last Monday,” she captioned the Dec. 2 post. “We can not quite believe it. We are in love big time with this little guy.”
The Grammy winner also took a moment to highlight Bear’s biological mom’s perseverance.
“Honestly, bio mothers do not get the gratitude they deserve,” she reflected. “It is a more selfless love than I knew existed. Truly. We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle.”
After bringing home their little one, born 11 weeks premature, Joss shared an update on life with Bear. She noted that his birth mom, who came to visit him, will be a part of his life.
“She’s such a lovely girl,” she said in the Dec. 9 Instagram video. “It’s just really nice to have that connection with her because I know it’ll be really, really nice for Bear.”
The “Super Duper Love” singer also revealed how she chooses names for her kids.
“I really love the name Bear,” she explained. “I think it’s perfect for him. For the boys, I have criteria. I like to pick a name that sounds strong but also friendly. Shack and Bear are in the pub, they seem friendly. So, I have to think of that. But they also don’t want to mess with Shack and Bear.”
She has similar criteria for her daughter and potential future daughters, too.
“I love Violet because it’s a beautiful flower,” she said. “It’s so English, it can be shortened to Vivi.”
“Also, it sounds a little bit like violent,” she quipped, “It has a little bit of a sting to it, which I think every woman should have.”
Meanwhile, Joss previously reflected on motherhood and the strength she found amid her journey.
“There’s a different compartment of your heart that gets opened,” she told Yahoo’s So Mini Ways in 2022. “It is completely unbreakable, completely unconditional. My life got bigger and my love got bigger. My feelings got bigger, the good and the bad.”
“The fear got bigger,” she continued. “The excitement got bigger. Everything got bigger. Now, when you’re creating something, it’s for a bigger purpose. It all just seems heavier. And lighter.”
