Katy Perry has finally stepped into motherhood.
The ‘Roar’ hitmaker, who’s kept a low-key profile for the past couple of months – just gave birth to her first child – a healthy baby girl, with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
The singer and songwriter made the announcement in quite a unique way – through UNICEF, which both her and her partner, happen to be global ambassadors of.
Their daughter is named – Daisy Dove Bloom and here’s what the happy couple said in their joint statement:
“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.⠀
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.⠀
⠀
Gratefully-⠀
⠀
Katy & Orlando.”⠀
Congratulations Katy and Orlando!
