Joss Stone has given birth to a baby girl, announcing the happy news with a beaming photo from her hospital bed.
The 38-year-old singer-songwriter revealed the arrival of her daughter on Instagram, writing: “Happy #mummymondays.
She went on to share what her daughter’s name: “Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. We are so in love.”
In the photo, Stone is pictured beaming with pride as baby Nalima rests on her chest, wrapped in a blanket.
Her husband Cody DaLuz reshared the snap on his Instagram Story, writing: “And now there are four.”
The couple are already parents to Violet, born in 2021, and son Shackleton, who arrived the following year.
They also adopted a baby boy named Bear in December 2023.
That same year, Joss opened up about the couple’s decision to pursue adoption as a way of expanding their growing family.
Cody, who was adopted, has been open with Joss about the importance of adoption in his own life—a sentiment the couple has carried into their family planning.
Reflecting on their journey, Joss told fans in a heartfelt social media post: “The reason why Cody even exists is because his bio mum loved him enough to make an adoption plan for him and the same goes for Bear.
“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 revealed she was pregnant with Nalima just weeks after Bear’s adoption, admitting at the time that she was “shocked” to be expecting again so soon.
The You Had Me singer has previously spoken openly about experiencing a traumatic birth with Shackleton, during which her uterus ruptured.
Doctors advised her she could have more children, but would need to give birth via C-section.
True to form, Stone shared a “bump update” just days before giving birth, telling fans about her hectic plans to attend her daughter Violet’s dance recital just hours before heading into surgery.
Speaking in a video post, she said: “Ok bump update, I look massive today. This is a big belly. We are four days away pretty much. Baby is coming out on Saturday.”
She continued: “The crazy thing is violet goes to dance class and she has a dance recital on Saturday.
“So, I said to my doctor who came to the gig in Nashville, ‘I'm so sorry but we've got to change the C-section date because baby girl has a dance recital’ and he said ‘don't worry I'll just move it.’
“So it's moved from 10am to 4pm. So now Vi is going to dance around 1:10pm then I have to be at the hospital for about 2pm. So, it's going to be a crazy day.”
