Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom on August 26. The couple announced the great news via UNICEF, the organization Perry and Bloom are Goodwill Ambassadors for.
Alongside a black and white photo of Daisy Dove grasping her daddy’s finger, UNICEF released the following message through social media channels:
“‘We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,’ Katy and Orlando told us.”⠀
The couple did not give further details about her newborn daughter; through the lengthy message, they pointed out that everyone had not a chance to give birth in peace and that they empathized with struggling parents.
“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.⠀
The new parents also revealed that they set up a donation page to provide quality healthcare for expecting mothers, and added that they believed every child and mother deserves high-level attention and care. The message continued as follows:
“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.”⠀
