Joss Stone and husband Cody DaLuz are now a family of five, with the English singer-songwriter announcing Monday (Dec. 2) that the couple recently adopted a baby boy named Bear

The duo’s new addition is the pair’s third child together, coming after 3-year-old sister Violet and 2-year-old brother Shackleton. Stone broke the news to her Instagram followers by sharing a video of their experience receiving the call that Bear had been placed in their custody and their voyage to the hospital to pick him up.

“We are in love big time with this little guy,” the Eragon actress wrote in her caption. “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,” Stone continued. “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 video also features the couple wearing hospital gowns, holding their new son for the first time. “We’re so happy you’re here,” DaLuz says while cradling Bear, feeding him a bottle.

Plus, the “Tell Me ‘Bout It” singer shouted out the nursing staff who took care of Bear while he was in the NICU, as well as included a photo of Violet meeting her youngest brother in the video. “Please share your [stories] of adoption in the comments if you have any,” she added in her caption. “And please welcome our gorgeous baby boy to this wonderful world xxxx.”

Stone first became a mom in 2021, when she and her then-boyfriend welcomed Violet via C-section. In November 2022, they welcomed Shackleton in what the musician described at the time was a “scary labor,” just under a year before Stone revealed that she and DaLuz had tied the knot in 2023.
