American pop star Katy Perry and fiancé Orlando Bloom welcomed their first child together, a girl they named her Daisy Dove Bloom.
The” Lord of the Rings star” previously welcomed Flynn, now 9, with his former wife Miranda Kerr.
The couple, who are Goodwill Ambassadors for UNICEF, shared the exciting news in a statement with the organization on Wednesday, along with the first photo of their daughter.

UNICEF shared the statement on Twitter, which read: “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. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every 11 seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of... 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 couple’s statement continued, “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... By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your Heart suit can bloom with generosity.”

Early March, Perry used her music to announce her pregnancy as she featured cradling her growing baby bump at the end of her music video of her latest single “Never Worn White”.
Last April, she revealed on social media the gender of her baby with a messy picture of Bloom whose face was covered in pink-toned whipped cream, which was captioned: “It’s a girl,”.
On March 8, Perry admitted that she was hoping to have a girl during her performance at the Women’s Cricket World Cup Final in Melbourne, Australia.
The couple was set to get married originally in front of 150 guests in Japan later this year, however like so many people in the world, they have also been forced to push the date to 2021 back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The “teenage dream” singer and the “lord of the rings” actor first started dating after meeting at the 2016 Golden Globes, before Bloom proposed to her on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
