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.⠀ ⠀ “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.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.

“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” the statement read.

While they celebrate the birth of their daughter, the couple acknowledged that they were “the lucky ones” as communities around the world are experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers.

“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,” the couple’s statement read.

Perry and Bloom said that since the COVID-19 pandemic started, more newborn babies are at risk 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 and Bloom said.

Because of this, Perry and Bloom announced that they have set up a donation page in their daughter’s name.

Daisy Dove is the couple’s first child together. Bloom is already a dad to 9-year-old Flynn, who he shares with Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr.

It was in March when Perry revealed her pregnancy in a music video for her song “Never Worn White”.

A month later, the couple announced they were expecting a baby girl.

Perry and Bloom have been engaged since February 2019.
