Katy Perry Gives Birth To a Baby Girl
Etonline.com: Katy Perry is officially a mom!
It was announced on Wednesday that the 35-year-old singer gave birth to her first child with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom
The news was first shared by UNICEF, who posted the announcement and their congratulations for the couple.
"Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and Orlando Bloom's new bundle of joy," the organization wrote, alongside a photo of the new parents holding their baby's tiny hand.
The pair also shared a statement, through UNICEF, about welcoming their little girl, explaining, "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter.”
"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," the goodwill ambassadors shared. "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."
Bloom also reposted UNICEF's announcement to his own Instagram, and a rep for Perry confirmed the news of their new bundle of joy to ET.
This is the first child for Perry and the second for Bloom. The 43-year-old actor shares a 9-year-old son, Flynn, with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr.
