Cue the fireworks because Katy Perry has officially given birth.
The Grammy-nominated singer and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, welcomed their first child together, a girl by the name Daisy Dove Bloom. Katy and Orlando shared the news with UNICEF, the organization where they serve as Goodwill ambassadors, on Wednesday, August 26th.
“We are floating with love and wonder of the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” they said in a statement.
“But we know we are the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birth experience as peaceful as we were,” they shared. “Congregations around the world are still experiencing a shortage of health care workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman dies as a newborn, mostly due to common causes. Since COVID-19, many more newborns are at risk due to a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases.As parents of a newborn, this breaks our hearts, because we now more than ever sympathize with struggling parents.
In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, Katy and Orlando have set up a UNICEF donation page about Daisy’s – or “DDB” as they called her.
The couple’s daughter was born Wednesday, making Perry a first-time mother and 9-year-old Flynn, Bloom’s only child with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, an older brother of his first sister.
The famous parents, who got engaged in February 2019 after years of on-and-off romance, announced their baby news in early March when the performer woke her up in the music video for “Never Worn White”. The following month, she revealed that she had a little girl on the way.
