“Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honored to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @ KatyPerry and @ OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy,” UNICEF wrote in the title.
“We are thrilled with love and wonder at the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told UNICEF, which included the couple’s statement in the Instagram post. “But we know we are the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birth experience as peaceful as we were.”
“Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly due to common causes,” the statement continues. “Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk due to the increasing lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents of a newborn, this breaks our hearts because we sympathize with struggling parents now more than ever. “
In the statement, the pair as UNICEF goodwill ambassadors said they know the organization “is doing what is necessary to ensure that every expectant mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality care.”
“As a celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate the arrival of DDB,” her statement continues. “By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start in life and envisioning a healthier world for every child. We hope you can ♥ ️ thrive with generosity.”
UNICEF not only shared the couple’s statement, but also dedicated their Instagram bio to the arrival of baby Daisy.

“Join Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to support the most precious gift: a healthy child,” reads the UNICEF bio. It contains a link to the donation page.
About an hour after UNICEF posted the photo of the family on Instagram, Bloom posted it on his. Perry followed shortly with a repost on her page.
The pair first announced that they were expecting in March. The pop star revealed her pregnancy in the music video premiere for her latest song, “Never Worn White.”
In the closing moments of the clip, Perry surprised fans by her baby bump and singing, “See us in sixty years with a full family tree (I do).”
The announcement came about a year after the couple engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
Perry also mentioned the name of her daughter in her single “Daisies”, which was released earlier this year.
