Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have announced the birth of their child.
The pop star and her fiance Orlando Bloom welcomed their baby girl on Wednesday (August 26). They’ve named her Daisy Dove Bloom.
Overjoyed
The couple shared the exciting news in a statement with UNICEF, while also sharing the first photo of their daughter.
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” they wrote. “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.”
Supporting Children All Over the World
In addition to the news, they wanted to spread a good message.
“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” the couple said.
Daisy is the first child for Katy. The 43-year-old Lord of the Rings actor shares nine-year-old son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
Katy and Orlando dated for several years before announcing their engagement on Valentine’s Day 2019. In March of this year, Katy revealed she was expecting in her “Never Worn White” music video, which we covered in this article.
