Singer Katy Perry gave birth to a baby girl named Daisy Dove Bloom. Her fiance, Orlando Bloom, confirmed the news on Thursday via Instagram.

Bloom, 43, shared a black and white photo of the child’s hand and a repost from @unicef with the caption; “Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.”

“‘We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,’ Katy and Orlando told us.”

Perry and Bloom, who are ambassadors for Unicef, also shared in the Instagram post, how grateful they were to have experienced a “peaceful” birthing experience with good healthcare.

“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.”

Perry, 35, first revealed she was pregnant in a music video for her song “Never Worn White” in March. In the video, the American Idol judge cradled her baby bump while wearing a white dress.

Perry and Bloom have had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2016 but rekindled their romance in early 2018, followed by an engagement in 2019 on Valentine’s Day.

Their daughter is Perry and Bloom’s first child together. Perry was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012, while Bloom was married to model Miranda Kerr from 2010 to 2013. They share a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011.

Congratulations to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom on their new bundle of joy!
