Joss Stone shares rare look at her four young children as she returns from tour to a joyful family reunion at the airport

had an emotional reunion with her husband and children as she returned home to the UK after touring in Europe.  

The star, 38, was welcomed home by her husband Cody DaLuz, a former Marine, and their four kids as she walked through arrivals.

A video shared by Joss on her Instagram on Sunday shows her eldest son Shackleton, two, running into her arms, closely followed by his sister Violet, three.

Joss then shared hugs and kisses with her husband and their two youngest children, who beamed up at her from their double buggy. 'Coming home to this' she captioned the video.

The singer and her husband adopted their son Bear, two, as a newborn at the end of 2024 and Joss announced she was pregnant soon after. She gave birth to daughter Nalima Rose in June 2025.

In 2023, Joss revealed she and Cody had  to expand their brood in the hope of one day adopting more childen. 

Joss told HELLO! magazine of the adoption process: 'We're trying to do our home study. I hope we get to do it. I want, like, 25 kids.'

Cody was adopted himself and Joss has previously  

She said: '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.' 

Now living back in her home county of Devon in the UK, Joss and Cody were based in Nashville,  after meeting in 2020 when Joss fled the UK amid a terrifying kidnap plot.

The singer was the target of a chilling conspiracy in 2011 when two men were caught near her Devon home carrying knives, hammers, rope and a body bag.

They planned to rob and kill the then-24-year-old singer before being intercepted by police and later convicted of conspiracy to murder and robbery.

Speaking last year, more than a decade later, Joss says she no longer lives in fear - and even hopes her would-be killers have found peace.

She said: 'It's traumatic because, of course, that is a horrible thing to have happened - but it didn't happen. The idea that somebody would want to chop you up into small pieces and put you in a little bag is a bit jarring...

'But luckily, they didn't get there. They didn't hurt me.'

Speaking on the Nicky Byrne HQ podcast, she continued: 'I just hope that they are okay and healed. It's a weird feeling because it's hard to not feel sorry for people that are in that space. It's also hard to not feel sorry for the mother of those people.'

Joss admitted she longs for an explanation from the men who once plotted to end her life. 'I still don't even know if they were pissed off at me or if they were hired by someone that was pissed off at me. Who knows?...

'I don't have a lot of answers. I hope they didn't try and do that because they didn't like a song or something, but I'll never know. I would like to ask… It's one of those niggling things. I'm just like, can we just have a cup of tea? Can we just talk about it?'

The singer - who first shot to fame as a teenager with her multi-platinum album The Soul Sessions - said she felt 'looked after' by fate when police foiled the plot. 'I feel like something's watching over me. I feel very looked after in that scenario,' she explained.

But the ordeal shattered her sense of safety at home. 'That did make me feel really uncomfortable in that house as well, which is the house I grew up in,' she recalled. 'I woke up one morning in that place and I said to Cody, "I don't want to come back here ever." And we never did.'

Soon afterwards, Joss left Britain and began a new life in America, living first in New Jersey and later in Nashville.

The family have since relocated back to Devon with Joss explaining she wanted her children to be schooled and raised in the UK to replicate her own idyllic childhood.
