Joss Stone is officially a mom of two!
“He’s finally here,” Stone wrote alongside a video of her and DaLuz detailing the birth. “Just wanted to say hi with our newest addition to the family Shackleton Stoker Daluz. Born at 7:54 am on the 18th of October. What a joy to have him safe and sound in our arms. Thanks for hanging with us through the journey.”
Stone revealed that she was in labor for over 30 hours and that her “uterus split” as Shackleton “was a bit big.”
“I decided I wanted to have a natural birth… that didn’t happen!” Stone said. “He was 9 lbs. and 2 oz., a slight bit bigger than the doctors had [expected].”

Stone said she’s being open about the experience because “we shouldn’t feel alone, it happens to a lot of women.”
“It’s a horrible, horrible thing. And it’s not something you can get over. It’s something that you have to live with,” she added.
In 2021, the “Super Duper Love” singer expressed some anxiety around giving birth ahead of welcoming Violet.
“I was having these moments. … I remember I woke up one night, and I sat on the edge of the bed, and I said to Cody, ‘Oh no,’ and I burst into tears,” she recalled. “I said, ‘I’ve got to get it out. At some point it has to come out. Now it’s in. My God, Jesus. What if I split in half?’ You don’t read about that.”
