Joss Stone is shocked to find out she’s pregnant—weeks after adopting a baby boy
British singer-songwriter Joss Stone, 37, has always marched to the beat of her own drum, but her latest announcement has fans celebrating a whirlwind chapter in her life. Just weeks after adopting a baby boy, Stone revealed on Instagram that she is pregnant, sharing a slideshow of photos capturing her sheer disbelief at a positive pregnancy test.
“Honestly. Shocked was an understatement,” she wrote. “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.”
Four kids under five—chaos, love, and gratitude
Joss Stone and her husband, Cody DaLuz, 34, are about to enter a new level of parenting chaos with four children under the age of five: Violet, 3, Shackleton, 2, and newborn Bear. The couple’s family recently grew with the adoption of baby Bear, who was born 11 weeks early but has been thriving since coming home to Nashville just before Thanksgiving.
Sharing their adoption journey on Instagram, Stone expressed deep gratitude for Bear’s birth mother, saying: “Honestly, bio mothers do not get the gratitude they deserve. It is a more selfless love than I knew existed. Truly. We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle.”
Stone’s reflections on motherhood have always been raw and heartfelt. In a 2022 article for The Sun, she revealed the harrowing details of her son’s birth, during which her uterus split. Despite the risks and her doctor’s advice against future pregnancies, Stone remained undeterred, saying: “I still want loads of kids, but I won’t be able to birth them naturally. … I’m still happy to adopt as many kids as I can. I don’t mind if I make them myself or not.”

Motherhood amplified
Stone’s journey is a powerful reminder of how love and resilience can define motherhood in so many forms. Whether through adoption or pregnancy, Stone’s commitment to her family shines bright, even as she balances the demands of her career and a growing brood.
Her adoption story also serves as a testament to the power of connection and the beauty of building a family in unconventional ways. By sharing her experience, Stone opens the door for more honest conversations about adoption and the love that binds families together.
With plans to move her family back to the UK next year, Stone is hoping to provide her children with the same idyllic upbringing she remembers from her own childhood.
Moms everywhere can relate to the joyful chaos Joss Stone is embracing—whether it’s the shock of an unexpected pregnancy, the delicate challenges of adoption, or juggling the love and logistics of multiple littles.
For every mom trying to keep it together amidst the wildness, Joss’s story reminds us: the journey is messy, unpredictable, and absolutely beautiful.
