Joss Stone has revealed that he plans to stop acting because he is concerned about the impact it will have on his children.
The 35-year-old singer is currently pregnant with her second child with boyfriend Cody DaLuz, and revealed that she also has problems with the idea of touring with children.
Joss said she plans to become a composer for other artists, a job she says she could do from home.
Taking a step back: Joss Stone has revealed that he plans to stop acting because he is concerned about the impact it will have on his children.
The Super Duper Love singer is the mother of 18-month-old daughter Violet, with Cody and her second child on the way.
Speaking on the podcast Sweat, Snot & Tears, he explained: “It’s a decision you have to make because I don’t want my kids to grow up, look at mom or dad, or anyone they admire, and see them being encouraged by thousands. of people.
“Because I’ve seen it in kids I’ve known as adults who are the children of stars, so I don’t want them to think that’s what makes you valid. It certainly would look like that.

Speaking about the practicality of touring, she added: “I don’t want to leave her. Going on tour with babies when they’re little is totally doable. Cody works from his computer on the bus.
‘She takes me to the stage with Violet. She goes back, takes a bath, and when I’m done on stage, it’s time to put her to bed. So it’s perfect.
“But when I go to school this won’t be a thing. I’ve wanted to be a mother for so long. That’s what I want to do.
‘My dream is to write for other singers. I can do it from home. So he could leave Violet at school, go home, write some songs, and go get her. This is what I would love.
“If I could set my life this way, it would be perfect.”
Joss’s comments come after he apologized for postponing the dates of his next tour, arguing that “he has to put his baby’s health first.”
The singer announced in April that she was expecting another child, revealing that six months earlier she had suffered a devastating miscarriage.
While touring nine countries, the singer revealed that she had to postpone her last date as she will be very pregnant.

He wrote on Instagram: “I’m lucky to announce that Cody and I are expecting our second child together. I’m on the moon for Violet to have a little brother.
“This means, however, that I am devastated to announce that, unfortunately, I have to change some of my tour plans.
“Thank you for all your support and I’m very sorry if I disappointed anyone, I have mixed emotions as I would love to act for all of you, but I have to put my health, that of my baby and my family first … Please see my website for the latest information. ‘
He added in the clip: It’s annoying that I know, because we’ve had to do it for the last two years for other reasons. But we have to do it again in just a few … but it’s all for a good reason, so hopefully it’s okay. Cheers guys.
