American singer, Katy Perry and her beau Orlando Bloom have welcomed their first child together.
Meanwhile, the newborn, a baby girl is to be named Daisy Dove Bloom.
UNICEF shared the good news on Twitter as both Katy and Orlando serve as Goodwill Ambassadors for the organisation.
They included a black and white photo of them holding onto their newborn’s hand.
“Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and Orlando Bloom’s new bundle of joy.”
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” they said in a statement.
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀

“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.”
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom announced the gender of their firstborn back in April with a pink shaving cream in an Instagram post.
