Joss Stone has revealed she no longer sleeps with her husband as they struggle to balance their bedtime preferences with raising three children.

The British singer, 37, who has three children with her husband Cody DaLuz, claims their nighttime routine has been disrupted by ‘the rearing stage’ at home.

Speaking of their decision to sleep separately, she 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. 

‘I’m like, I’m not going to be in there, waking [Cody] 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.’

Joss met US marine turned musician Cody in 2020 after she fled the UK amid a terrifying kidnap plot. Two men – Kevin Liverpool and Junior Bradshaw – were convicted of planning to murder the star at her rural east Devon home.

The Grammy Award singer now lives in Nashville, Tennessee with Cody, 35. 

They married in October 2023 and have three children: Violet, four, Shackleton, two, and Bear, one, whom they adopted last year. Joss is also pregnant, discovering the news just weeks after announcing on social media that she’d adopted Bear.

Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, A Cuppa Love, she adds: ‘We find time to be romantic with each other. 

‘It can work if you are romantic with each other – if you’re not sleeping in the same room, and that’s your only time for romance, then it’s a problem.

‘You’ve gotta be like, “I love you babe but I’m going back in the other room because you’re watching a slasher movie. Goodbye. I’ll see ya later! I’ll see you when I pop her out and get my body back.”‘

Both her and Cody’s lines of work have also prepared them for their new set-up, she claims.

‘Because we tour and spend so much time in a H๏τel room on our own, we get that peace – we’re like, oh we don’t mind. Also, Cody was away for months at a time.

‘It’s because of his job, previously, as well. When I met him he was out in Iraq, contracting, doing security. So we were on FaceTime all the time. We’re completely linked. So he was out for three months at a time, sleeping in a tiny little… almost like a prison room. And he had his own spot and he was cool. He’s very good in his own company.’

However, his penchant for watching horror films and her need to take care of the children at night is not the only cause for their bedtime separation.

‘For me, I love a chat at night time, and he’s like, “Jesus Christ, Joss, it’s past nine o’clock, I’m going to bed! Can you shut up?”‘ she adds, laughing. ‘I actually wrote a song about that. It is crazy but it sort of works.

‘Cody was actually saying, you know, there is this whole thing with marriage… he says things like, “Partners that work out together, stay together”. 

‘So when we get the chance, instead of going on a date – he loves the gym – we go and work out. I don’t even work out but I’ll do it because he likes it. 

‘I sometimes will just get on him and he’ll stand up. He gets his workout, he gets his glutes done, and I’m like, “Great, that was fun”. It’s about finding what works for you individually.’

She adds: ‘I think it’s important to just try to nurture being in love. I know that’s really hard past a certain amount of years, but there are little tips and tricks – like that six-second kiss. It’s a small thing that you can do. It can start something.

‘And also the hug – if you can hold onto somebody for a while, it heals a part of you… A hug is so important. If you don’t have hugs it really is sad.’
