Pregnant Joss Stone reveals her ‘crazy’ C-section plans as she gives a bump update just days before birth
Joss Stone revealed her ‘crazy’ C-section plans as she gave a bump update on Monday just days before she is set to give birth.
The singer, 38, welcomed son Bear via adoption at the end of last year and announced she was pregnant soon after.
She also has Violet, three, and Shackleton, two, with her partner and former US Marine Cody DaLuz.
In a video, shared to Instagram this week, Joss said that she was just days away from meeting her fourth child.
She began: ‘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.’

Joss 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 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.’
The musician captioned the clip: ‘Happy mummy Mondays!! I am so excited. Not long now. Eeeeekkkk!!!’
Just before Christmas, Joss – whose real name is Joscelyn Eve Stoker – revealed she was ‘shocked’ after discovering that she was expecting again after the couple had recently become parents to Bear.
The singer officially adopted Bear when when he was just a month old and weighed just 4lbs 12oz – with the couple keeping him indoors during the early months of his life because of premature lungs.
The parents, who are now based in Nashville, Tennessee, met in 2020 after Joss fled the UK amid terrifying kidnap plot, with two men – Kevin Liverpool and Junior Bradshaw – convicted of planning to murder the star at her rural east Devon home.
They would go on to secretly marry before starting their ever expanding family.

In 2023, Joss revealed she and Cody had started the adoption process to expand their brood.
Joss told HELLO! magazine of the adoption process: ‘We’re trying to do our home study. I hope we get to do it. I want, like, 25 kids.’
Cody was adopted himself and Joss has previously spoken to her fans on social media about why the pair were keen to adopt a child of their own.
She said: ‘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.’
Last year, Joss revealed she is hoping to move back to Devon from her current base in Nashville in time for her kids starting school because she wants them to enjoy a similar upbringing to her own.

She told the Sunday Times magazine: ‘We’ll move home to Devon in time for Violet to go to school. I want my kids to have the kind of upbringing I did — riding horses, climbing trees and being near my family. I hope Cody likes it over there.’
The You Had Me singer enjoys a ‘slower’ pace of life now she’s a parent and she’s thankful having children has given her an ‘excuse’ to ease her busy schedule.
She said: ‘Having kids makes you go slower. It’s given me this wonderful excuse not to cram my schedule. Touring is different now…
‘We always go by bus and travel at night, when the kids are asleep. I don’t know how it’s going to go with two of them because Cody’s working as well. We don’t want to enlist help but we might have to.’
