Joss Stone gives birth: Singer welcomes fourth child and reveals her daughter's sweet name
Joss Stone has given birth to a baby girl, announcing the happy news with a beaming photo from her hospital bed.
The 38-year-old singer-songwriter revealed the arrival of her daughter on Instagram, writing: 'Happy #mummymondays.
She went on to share what her daughter's name: 'Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. We are so in love.'
In the photo, Stone is pictured beaming with pride as baby Nalima rests on her chest, wrapped in a blanket.
Her husband Cody DaLuz reshared the snap on his Instagram Story, writing: 'And now there are four.'
The couple are already parents to Violet, born in 2021, and son Shackleton, who arrived the following year.
They also adopted a baby boy named Bear in December 2023.
That same year, Joss opened up about the couple's decision to pursue adoption as a way of expanding their growing family.
Cody, who was adopted, has been open with Joss about the importance of adoption in his own life—a sentiment the couple has carried into their family planning.
Reflecting on their journey, Joss told fans in a heartfelt social media post: '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.'
Stone revealed she was pregnant with Nalima just weeks after Bear's adoption, admitting at the time that she was 'shocked' to be expecting again so soon.
The You Had Me singer has previously spoken openly about experiencing a traumatic birth with Shackleton, during which her uterus ruptured.
Doctors advised her she could have more children, but would need to give birth via C-section.
True to form, Stone shared a 'bump update' just days before giving birth, telling fans about her hectic plans to attend her daughter Violet's dance recital just hours before heading into surgery.
Speaking in a video post, she said: '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.'
She 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's 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.'

All About Mariska Hargitay & Peter Hermann's 3 Kids
Despite Hollywood being known for celebrity relationships that come and go, Mariska Hargitay has defied the norm over the years. Not only has the Law & Order: SVU star been happily married to her husband Peter Hermann since 2004, but the two of them have created a beautiful family of five. Hargitay and Hermann are proud parents to three kids. The actress gave birth to her first son, August, on June 28, 2006. At the time, his birth made headlines because Hargitay was 42 at the time. More from SheKnows All About Mariska Hargitay's Biological Dad Nelson Sardelli & How She Learned the Truth About His Identity In 2011, Hargitay and Hermann added more members to their crew by adopting their daughter Amaya in April 2011, and their youngest son Andrew six months later in October. 'Our family is so perfect, or at least perfect for me,' Hargitay told People in 2018. 'Together we're just this whole, happy, joyful, chaotic, crazy unit. I've never known anything that was more right.' Check out everything we know about Hargitay and Hermann's kids below: Over the years, August and his siblings have all happily joined their mom at public events. In June 2025, they even turned heads in matching black and white chic looks at the My Mom Jayne premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. But August has joined his mom for mother-son solo outings too. They've attended the US Open together as a tradition in 2014, 2021, 2022 and 2023. When Hargitay and Hermann adopted August's younger siblings in 2011, the actress gushed to People about how happy then-4-year-old August was at the time. 'He is over the moon,' the actress told the outlet. 'He calls her his baby because he says the whole thing was his idea. He always talks about how he's going to protect her. He's going to be a great big brother.' In 2023, Hargitay and Hermann were announced as the new inductees for the Stuttering Association for the Young's Hall of Fame. Their involvement with the Association started when August's stuttering started and he was looking for a community. 'Our son stutters and it was so beautiful to have this lovely community to introduce him to and learn about it from the experts,' Hargitay told People. 'I think that being in a place where you're surrounded by the people who are dealing with the same thing you are is super special,' August told the outlet. 'In school, there aren't a lot of other people, or on the sports teams you play, at the organizations you go to, at the events I'm at with my parents. There's always a lot of pressure and conversation. So to be in a place where the edge is off and it's encouraged, it's welcomed? It's special.' Since his teen years, August has shown fans that he got his dad's tall genes and has grown taller than his mom. In some red carpet pics, he looks a full head taller than Hargitay (and we're guessing she's wearing heels too!). As the oldest one in his family, August made Hargitay and Hermann empty-nesters for the first time when he went off her college in the fall of 2024. His college and major have yet to be revealed, but we know his parents are so proud. 'My husband Peter and I are in the process of watching our oldest son graduate from high school,' Hargitay said in her speech at the Gotham TV Awards. 'And we've been shuffling around our house for the last few months just muttering, 'Where does the time go? Where's the time go? What happened?'' Amaya joined the Hargitay-Hermann household in 2011, and she was welcomed with open arms. 'I'm deliriously happy,' Hargitay told People at the time. 'From the minute she was born, she was just surprisingly alert and so full of love.' 'We were considering both international and domestic adoption and we're thrilled that this is the way our prayers were answered,' she said. 'We talked a lot about mixed-race adoptions, and we are very excited that we are now a multi-racial family. We're just so happy she's here.' In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Hargitay revealed that she and her husband were right there in the delivery room when Amaya was born. 'I basically pulled Amaya out,' she said, per People. 'Peter and I held her, and then the birth mother and I hugged for a long time. That was profound. That was one of the most meaningful moments I've ever had in my life.' Taylor Swift fans out there know that the singer is a big fan of Hargitay and her SVU character Olivia Benson (after all, she named one of her cats after her!). So, it was so sweet to find out in 2023 that not only is Hargitay a Swiftie, but so is Amaya! The mom and daughter attended the premiere of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie in October 2023 side by side, per Access Hollywood. On the carpet, Amaya and Hargitay made fun poses for the cameras. Amaya also showed off her signature style that night in a black moto jacket over a tutu-inspired tulle dress. One week after Hargitay and Hermann expressed their desire to adopt again after Amaya, they welcomed their youngest son, Andrew, who was born a few months earlier. 'We never in a million years thought it would happen this quickly, but something inside of us knew that this was right, and we said, 'Yes, yes, yes!'' she told People at the time. 'We knew this was our guy. Everything about it felt right. It felt divinely right.' With only a few months between him and his sister Amaya, the two bonded right away. 'They'll lie in the crib together, and she'll hold his hand and put her arm around him,' Hargitay said after his adoption. 'She's already so protective of him.' How adorable is that? In January 2024, Hargitay revealed that Andrew freaked out after he learned that his mom was a voice in Tales From Earthsea, a Japanese anime fantasy film from 2006. 'He found out that I was in this movie. He said, 'What? You're in this movie?' And we sat and watched it,' she told People. 'And I'm sitting on the couch with my 12-year-old son who, first of all, [thinks] the movie's good, but he just thought it was the coolest thing.' 'So for him to see me in this movie that he loves, he said 'Mom, it's such a cool character,'' she said. 'And it was this moment of had I known that, almost 20 years ago, that I would have this moment with my son that was so bonding and sacred, I just sat there going, 'I don't know that life gets better than this moment.''Best of SheKnows 14 Best Books About Jackie Kennedy's Life & Loves — Get Them for Up to 77% Off Ahead of Prime Day Keira Knightley's Stunningly Experimental Fashion Evolution Through the Years 60 Times Emma Stone's Timeless Red Carpet Fashion Looks Took Our Breath Away

PEOPLE confirmed that the Emmy award-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot with the billionaire Amazon founder, 61, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. The nuptials, which were preceded by a star-studded welcome party, are being capped off with a final blowout bash on Saturday night, June 28. A source told PEOPLE that two of the newlyweds' friends and favorite musicians, Usher and DJ Cassidy, will perform at the party. "[They're] going to set the tone. Tonight is all about the music," the source said of the musical performances. "It's the culmination, the final big party." "First night was dinner, second was the ceremony with Andrea Bocelli's son performing, and tonight's the full-on dance floor," the source added. Ahead of the soirée, a number of the couple's celebrity guests were photographed getting into water taxis en route to the venue, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and Brooks Nader. Just hours after the ceremony, Lauren shared her first wedding photo on Instagram, the account name and bio of which quickly changed to "Lauren Sánchez Bezos."

Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made," Lauren wrote. In Vogue's June 2025 digital cover story, Lauren said that she felt "like a princess" in the gown. She had met with designer Domenico Dolce in New York City more than a year and a half ago to start crafting her dream dress, which was inspired by another celebrity. She told the outlet her "timeless" dress was based on the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat. Jeff and Lauren went public with their relationship in 2019. Four years later, the Blue Origin founder proposed to the former journalist with a 30-carat engagement ring in May 2023. The pair were on vacation in the South of France when the billionaire popped the question, and Lauren was photographed rocking her cushion-cut engagement ring as she spent time with her fiancé on his yacht soon after. A source previously told PEOPLE that Jeff and Lauren were "on cloud nine — so happy and madly in love" after their engagement news. Following the engagement, the couple kept their wedding plans private, though they shared bits and pieces here and there. Lauren revealed in a November appearance on the Today show that she had been using Pinterest to figure out what she wants for the ceremony. "I'm just like every other bride," she said, adding that she was thinking about her ceremony dress. Read the original article on People
