AceShowbiz - Joss Stone recalls her first meeting with boyfriend, claiming they met in an airport and she told him she wanted seven kids. Already having 20-month daughter Violet with him and now expecting a baby boy since dating Amazon worker Cody DaLuz, 31, since 2020, the 35-year-old pop star spoke of how she "knew he was the one" when she demanded multiple children when they first met and he stuck around.

"I'd like seven children! I may only end up with two but I like to aim high. Aim high and you might get somewhere close enough," she said.

"I started most conversations in previous relationships for the last seven or eight years with, 'Nice to meet you… I want seven kids,' and then I'd wait to see whether they laughed or ran! Cody, though, he was like, 'All I want is an adoptive Beagle and an adoptive baby.' I was like, 'My God, I love you.' I knew he was the one. And I told him I wanted seven children and he didn't run a mile."

The "Never Forget My Love" hitmaker - who has previously dated the likes of Raphael Saadiq and Danny Radford - went on to describe her current boyfriend as a "gentleman" and although they are still "getting to know each other," they ultimately want "the same things."

She told The Sunday Mirror, "Cody's a gentleman - a really lovely, normal, good human being, and it's quite magical how we got together."

"We're still getting to know each other but ultimately we want the same things, so it just works. I think that he nurtures the fairy tale need in me; he listens to me, and I love that, because I don't have many people in my life that do that. They all think I'm a bit of a ditz and I find that frustrating. If your partner is not really listening and if they don't care enough to, it's not going to work."
