Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have finally welcomed their first child. On Thursday morning (Aug 27), the couple announced the arrival of their little bundle of joy – a baby girl they've named Daisy Dove Bloom – in the sweetest way possible.
Children's charity Unicef shared a photo of their new Goodwill Ambassadors, Katy Perry and Orlando, holding Daisy's teeny little hand on Instagram. The couple also added a statement, choosing to honour less fortunate parents who had also welcomed babies during the coronavirus pandemic.

The caption read: "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 [heart emoji] can bloom with generosity. Gratefully, Katy & Orlando.'"
Daisy is Katy's first child, but it's Orlando's second. The actor shares nine-year-old son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
Daisy also isn't the only "baby" Katy has to deliver this week, the singer's highly-anticipated sixth album will be released on Friday (Aug 28) after its original release date was delayed because of the pandemic. What a week!
