The 37-year-old star shared her excitement in a video on Instagram along with photos of a positive pregnancy test.
She posted a montage of selfies showing her confused reaction to the news, captioning it: “The one where mom finds out.”
Joss – who was pregnant with her first child when she won The Masquerade as Sausage in 2021 – captioned her post: “Honestly. Shocked was an understatement.
“Nothing and no one can take our joy now. We are so thrilled!!!! Maybe we should call the ‘less is more’ tour the pregnant women’s tour.”
The star, who is already a mother to her three-year-old daughter Violet and two-year-old son Shackleton, recently adopted a son, Bear, with her husband Cody DaLuz.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded social networks with congratulatory messages for the singer.
Singer Beverley Knight captioned her post: “Fantastic! Happy for you baby!!!”
And one fan said: “JOSS!!! OMG! How exciting!!! I’m so happy for you!! I wish to heaven that everything goes as smoothly as possible!”
Another joked: “OH MY GOD!!! Congratulations Joss!! My wishes for a healthy and peaceful pregnancy! Talk about a full house huh?”
The Right To Be Wrong singer welcomed little Bear into her family two weeks ago.

Jazz singer Joss posted an emotional video on her Instagram page on Dec. 3, captioning it, “If you know us, you know we’ve been trying to adopt for a while.”
Scenes then showed her on the phone to the lady at the adoption agency, who told her she could pick up her baby the next day.
The pair broke the news to Violet and Shackleton before Joss filmed the happy parents picking up their child.
Joss has been open about her journey through parenthood, including the ups and downs of pregnancy and adoption.
She then detailed their latest parenting journey in a lengthy caption saying: “Happy Monday Mom. This happened to us last Monday. We can’t quite believe it.
“We are very much in love with this little guy. The reason Cody exists in the first place is because his birth mother loved him enough to make an adoption plan for him, and the same goes for Bear.
How does adoption work?
There is a lengthy process for adopting a child in the UK and it can take up to six months for the paperwork to be completed.
To even be considered, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must be over 21 years old
- You must be a legal resident of the UK for at least 12 months.
- No criminal convictions – especially those related to child endangerment. This applies to all of your household.
You will also have to go through an initial screening and assessment, which will consider whether you are suitable for adoption.
Prospective parents will also have to go through training and a process to match them with the right child.
“Honestly, birth mothers don’t get the appreciation they deserve. It’s a more selfless love than I knew existed. Really.
“We are so happy to be a part of this wonderful cycle.
“Please share your adoption story in the comments if you have one.
“And please welcome our beautiful baby boy into this beautiful world xxxx”
BIRTH TRAUMA
Joss previously spoke exclusively to The Sun about her birth trauma after her uterus ruptured while giving birth to her second child.
It followed a tragic miscarriage a year before.
After explaining her ordeal, Joss then told us: “Being a mom is better than anything else in the world – you can take away all my jobs, trips, songs… I don’t need any of that.
“Just give me my babies and I’m fine.
“I still want loads of kids, but I won’t be able to have them naturally and I’d need a C-section, even though the doctor told me, ‘If you were my wife, I wouldn’t let you.’
“But I’m happy to adopt as many children as possible anyway. I don’t mind if I make them myself or not.”
