On August 26, Katy Perry and her husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, into the world. The pair, both UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, let the U.N. agency make the announcement for them. UNICEF posted a picture to their Instagram of Perry and Bloom’s hands intertwined with their daughter’s, Perry’s thumbnail painted with a small daisy.

In celebration of the arrival of Daisy Dove Bloom, the couple also partnered with UNICEF to set up a donation page to help pregnant mothers around the world.

“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter, but we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was,” Perry and Bloom said in a statement to UNICEF.

They continued, “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.”

UNICEF shared the statement under the birth announcement post and added the link to the donation page to their Instagram bio. Perry and Bloom later reposted the announcement to their own pages.

The singer announced the pregnancy earlier this year in her music video for “Never Worn White” and hinted at her baby girl’s name in her single “Daisies” released earlier this year.
