Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcome baby girl

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcomed a baby girl, and the couple let United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) break the news about their bundle of joy on Instagram. UNICEF posted a black-and-white photo of Perry’s and Bloom’s hands holding their daughter’s. Perry and Bloom named their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom are the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as theirs 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 the covid outbreak, many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines, and medicines that prevent diseases. UNICEF is doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare.

Katy Perry and Bloom first announced they were expecting in March 2020.

Perry revealed her pregnancy in the music video premiere for her song “Never Worn White”. In the closing moments of the clip, Perry surprised fans by cradling her baby bump and singing, “See us in sixty years with a full family tree (I do).” The announcement came about a year after Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Perry also hinted at her daughter’s name in her single “Daisies”.
