New Delhi:

Congratulations, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The star couple welcomed their first child together- a baby girl and they named her Daisy Dove. Both Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) Goodwill Ambassadors, which is why UNICEF’s official Instagram account announced the news on social media with a photo. The post was later shared by Orlando Bloom. The priceless picture has Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom holding the baby’s tiny hand. “Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s new bundle of joy,” read an excerpt from the post. “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” the couple said in a joint statement.

The statement also focused on the social cause that the couple has extensively been working towards. The statement read, “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 empathise with struggling parents now more than ever.”
