Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Welcome a Baby Girl: Revisit Their Love Story

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are celebrating the arrival of their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.

The superstar singer and the Lord of the Rings actor, who serve as Goodwill Ambassadors for UNICEF, announced the birth of their baby girl via the organization on Wednesday, Aug. 26. “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” the duo shared in a statement. “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,” the couple continued. “Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater 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, 35, and Bloom, 43, went on to announce that they’ve set up a donation page in their daughter’s honor. “By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child,” the statement concluded. “We hope your ❤️ can bloom with generosity.”

Daisy is Perry’s first child and Bloom’s second, he shares son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

As the family starts a new chapter together, let’s take a look back at Perry and Bloom’s relationship journey over the years. From the first fireworks in 2016 to the brief breakups and makeups that led to their 2019 engagement and beyond, revisit their road to baby in the gallery below!

At one of the 2016 Met Gala parties, Perry’s haute couture look was only outshined by her hot boyfriend.

After dating for nearly a year, the two visited sick kids at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The photos from the event also marked one of the earliest appearances of Bloom on Perry’s social media.

After a break in the middle of 2017, the couple got back together and stunned at the amfAR Gala in Los Angeles.

In October 2018, the duo partied all night to celebrate Perry’s birthday.

The morning after Valentine’s Day 2019, Perry shared the exciting news that she and Bloom were engaged by posting an adorable selfie of the two together and a shot of her ring.

“Together our initials are O.K. and that’s what it’s gonna be ♥️,” Perry captioned her sweet screenshot of her and Bloom FaceTiming one another.

In a very relateable video posted to her Instagram, Perry shared that she and Bloom were in bed on New Year’s Eve well before the ball dropped writing, “When you’re in bed before midnight is when you know you’re starting the new year right #2020.”
