JOSS Stone has revealed she is expecting her fourth child – weeks after adopting a newborn baby boy.
The Super Duper Love singer appeared absolutely stunned when she announced the happy news to fans.
The 37-year-old star shared her excitement in a video on Instagram with photos of her positive pregnancy test.
She posted a montage of selfies showing her bewildered reaction to the news, writing over the top: “The one where mummy finds out”.
Joss – who was pregnant with her first child when she won The Masked Singer as Sausage in 2021 – captioned her post: “Honestly. Shocked was an understatement.
“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.”
The star, who is already a mother to her three-year-old daughter Violet, and son Shackleton, two, recently adopted baby son Bear with husband Cody DaLuz.
Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with messages of congratulations for the singer.
Singer Beverley Knight penned beneath her post: “Fantastic! Happy for you honey!!!”
And one fan said: “JOSS!!! OMG! How exciting!!! I’m so happy for you!! I’ll wish to the highest heavens that all goes in the best possible way!”
Another joked: “OH MY GOD!!! Congratulations, Joss!! My wishes for a healthy and peaceful pregnancy! Talk about full house, huh?”
The Right To be Wrong songstress welcomed little Bear to her family two weeks ago.
Jazz singer Joss posted an emotional video to her Instagram page on December 3 and wrote over the top: “If you know us, you know we have been trying to adopt for a little while now.”
The scenes then showed her on the phone to a lady at the adoption agency, who told her she could pick up her baby the next day.
The couple broke the news to Violet and Shackleton before Joss filmed the happy parents off to collect their child.
Joss has been open about her journey through parenthood, including the ups and downs of pregnancy and adoption.
She then detailed their latest parenthood journey in a lengthy caption as she put: “Happy mummy Mondays. 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 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.
In the UK, there is lengthy process involved with adopting a child and it can take up to six months for the paperwork to be finalised.
To even be considered, you have to meet the following criteria:
You will also have to go through an inital background check and assesment, which will consider whether you are the right fit for adoption.
Potenital parents will also have undergo training and a process to match them with the right child.
“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.
“Please share your story’s of adoption in the comments if you have any.
“And please welcome our gorgeous baby boy to this wonderful world xxxx”
Joss previously exclusively told The Sun of her birth trauma after her uterus split while giving birth to her second child.
It followed a tragic miscarriage the year before.
After explaining the ordeal, Joss told us at the time: “Being a mum is better than anything else in the world – you can take away all the jobs, the travelling, the songs… I don’t need any of that.
“Just give me my babies and I’m fine.
“I still want loads of kids, but I won’t be able to birth them naturally and would need a C-section, though my doctor said: ‘If you were my wife, I wouldn’t let you.’
“But I’m still happy to adopt as many kids as I can. I don’t mind if I make them myself or not.”
