Singer Katy Perry and actor-fiance Orlando Bloom became proud parents to a baby girl whom they named Daisy Dove Bloom. The couple made the long-awaited announcement in a unique way - not through their own social media channels but through the charitable organisation UNICEF, of which they are both Goodwill Ambassadors.
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told UNICEF.
“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.”
Ever since the couple made the announcement in April, fans have been wanting to know what they will be naming their daughtger. Back in May, Perry had dropped a new single called Daisies, a soaring self-belief anthem with a music video that saw the singer cradling her growing baby bump: After the song's release there were speculations about 'Daisy' being the name of her baby girl.
Bloom is already a father to 9-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with former-wife Miranda Kerr.
