Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcome baby girl, Daisy Dove
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have welcomed their first child together. The American singer-songwriter and the British actor gave birth to a baby girl, whom they have named as Daisy Dove Bloom. The couple made the big announcement a few hours ago on social media. We extend our heartiest congratulations to the star couple for this new addition in the family.
The news was first shared by UNICEF on Instagram, as both Perry and Bloom are their Goodwill Ambassadors. The organization put an adorable picture of the new parents holding their baby's hand. The couple re-posted it on their respective accounts. "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," Perry and Bloom said in a joint statement.
In their statement, Perry and Bloom also highlighted the increasing shortage of medical equipment and healthcare workers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. They informed they have set up a donation page to help the cause. "In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB's arrival," the statement read.
Perry had made the pregnancy announcement in early March through the music video, Never Worn White, where she was seen cradling her baby bump. "I like to tell you guys everything but I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that's...I guess that's how I speak to you," she had said at the time.
"She's a force of nature, obviously, as we all know. But it's been really impressive. There's no complaining. She's just all about it. It's pretty awe-inspiring to see the way she handles herself at this time," Bloom has said about Perry's pregnancy in the past.
Perry and Bloom had first started dating in early 2016. Even though the couple separated 10 months after that, they reunited in 2018 and announced their engagement in February last year. Perry was earlier married to English comedian Russell Brand. Bloom, on the other hand, was previously married to Australian model Miranda Kerr, with whom he has a nine-year-old son named Flynn.
As per reports, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom had planned a wedding in Japan for summer this year. However, they later rescheduled that plan due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
