Joss Stone explains why she no longer shares bed with husband after only 18 months of marriage

Joss Stone has explained why she and new-ish husband Cody DaLuz don't share a bed 18 months after tying the knot.

The couple had been together for a few years and had two children together before getting married in October 2023, and afterwards they adopted a third child.

The singer shortly after announced that she and DaLuz were expecting another baby, which will mean the couple are soon to welcome their fourth child together.

The news came as a shock to Joss, as she shared on Instagram in December last year: "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."

She explained that she and her husband didn't share a bed because some of their kids were in the 'rearing stage,' which had caused some changes to their home life.

Speaking on her A Cuppa Love podcast, the singer said: "It can work - I should hope so, because I sleep with my daughter Violet now.

"Cody watches horror movies. Every now and then I'll wake up and I'll go in and give him a little cuddle.

"It's so crazy - we have so many children, I have to make sure that they stay asleep without screaming. So this is a children's scenario."

She continued: "I'm like, I'm not going to be in there, waking him up every five minutes. I go in with my baby Violet who, by the way, will not go to sleep unless I'm there - that's probably my fault, but I love that - and then I do my whole night shift. But it's crazy.

"People are like, 'Oh, that's so bad!' But I'm still not going in there because he watches horror movies. I'm not doing that."

So there you have it, her daughter won't sleep unless Joss is in the room, and if the singer still shared a bed with her husband, she'd be going back and forth all the time when she ought to be getting some well-deserved rest.

The star also said on her podcast that she and her husband 'find time to be romantic with each other', saying that if sleeping in the same room was the only time for romance between couples 'then it's a problem'.

"You've got to be like, 'I love you babe but I'm going back in the other room because you're watching a slasher movie." Stone said of sleeping in separate rooms.

"Goodbye. I'll see you later! I'll see you when I pop her out and get my body back'."

Because they're moving around a lot on tour and are often on their own, they're used to having their relationship dynamic which works for them.

She went on to mention something DaLuz told her about marriages: "Cody was actually saying, you know, there is this whole thing with marriage... he says things like, 'Partners that work out together, stay together."
