The singer and her husband now have three children

04/12/24 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Adopted children

Joss Stone has taken to her Instagram to reveal that, on December 2, she and her husband, Cody DaLuz, adopted a baby boy named Bear.

The 37-year-old singer posted a sweet reel with the caption, "This is what happened to us last Monday … We can not quite believe it. We are in love big time with this little guy.” The video catalogs the whole adoption journey, from finding out that Bear was being born to meeting him for the first time and bringing him home. He now joins their two other children, Shackleton, two, and Violet, three, to make them a family of five.

Stone has been very open about the traumatic birth that she suffered with her second child. What's more, her husband is also adopted, and she credits his positive story for encouraging them to adopt Bear, saying, “We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle."
