Katy Perry has revealed she has given birth to her first child.
The couple said that both mum and daughter are “safe and healthy” following a “peaceful” birth.
Katy, 35, and her fiancé Orlando Bloom, 43, have named their tot Daisy Dove Bloom.
The couple who act as Goodwill Ambassadors for Unicef shared their exciting news on the global organisation’s website alongside a black and white snap of Katy holding Daisy’s hand.
Daisy is Katy’s first child while Orlando shares nine-year-old son Flynn, to his first wife, Miranda Kerr.
“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,” they said.
The pair continued: “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 a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases.”

Their lengthy statement continued: “As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.”
Katy and Orlando revealed that they were to use their daughter’s name and new-found platform for good as they encouraged fans to donate anything that they could do the non-profit organisation.
“In celebration of the heart, we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival.

“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.
“By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child.
“We hope your heart can bloom with generosity.”
Katy and Orlando became engaged in February 2019 following several years of dating on-and-off.
The Californian-gal revealed she was expecting her firstborn in March 2020 as she cradled a blossoming bump at the end of her music video for Never Worn White.
Just a month later, she revealed that the couple were expecting a daughter.
