Singer-songwriter Joss Stone has welcomed her fourth child.
The UK’s most successful soul singer announced the birth on Instagram writing, “Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. We are so in love,” along with the hashtag #mummymonday.
Stone, 37, announced she was pregnant in December 2024 after welcoming her third child, son Bear, whom she adopted with husband Cody DaLuz.

The couple shares two other children, daughter Violet, four, and son Shackleton, two.
Stone has said in the past she hopes to have seven children with the former marine, whom she married in 2023 – a year after she relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, from England.
Stone started singing as a child and by 13, had won a BBC talent competition after performing a song by her idol, Aretha Franklin, at the audition.
She went on to get the attention of record producers, who flew her to the US the next year.

Her debut album, The Soul Sessions, was released in 2003 when she was just 16. The album went triple-platinum.
Her second album, Mind Body & Soul, was released just one year later and spawned one of her biggest hits, You Had Me, and saw her nominated the following year for a host of Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.
She went on to release nine studio albums, three EPs and a biggest hits compilation, and has sold more than 15 millions records thus far.
She is currently working on an album of disco songs she says was inspired by her eldest daughter and recently paused a world tour to mark her 20th year in the industry.

In announcing her most recent pregnancy, Stone wrote on Instagram, “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 world tour is due to recommence in September.
In 2011, Stone became the victim of a terrifying plot by two men to kidnap her from her home in Devon in the UK, rob her and murder her before dumping her body in a river.
It was thwarted when locals raised the alarm and the men were jailed three years later.
Stone told The Times in 2023 the plot made her lock her doors and install security systems for the first time in her life and also led her to move to the US.
“Cody’s so mellow. He says, ‘Oh, we don’t need to worry about that,’ and I’m, like, ‘Well, you know, people do sometimes try to kill you’,” she said.
“So it does make you safety conscious. Although that’s another blessing, isn’t it? Because I wasn’t before and now I am.
“But out in Nashville, I know those men are not here, so I feel so much safer. Cody worked in security, so he’s the best person to have around.”
