Congratulations are in order for celebrity couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who have welcomed their first child together, a healthy baby girl.
The pair, who were forced to postpone their Japan wedding in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, announced their happy news via Unicef. The post read, 'Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀
“But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀
“As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.
"Gratefully - Katy & Orlando.”
Katy delighted her loyal fan base across the world back in March this year, revealing she was pregnant in her music video for her single Never Worn White.
Sharing a clip of the beautiful video on her social media, Katy told her followers, "Let’s just say it’s gonna be a jam packed summer... 🎶♥️🙂 #NeverWornWhite is out now."
To celebrate the release of her latest single Smile, Katy joined Hits Radio Breakfast's Fleur East, where Katy explained how her little girl has been pretty active in the womb and reacts to her songs.
