Katy Perry Announces She’s Expecting Her First Child With Orlando Bloom

Katy Perry has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom.

The singer, 35, took to Twitter on Thursday morning to tell fans it was a relief to finally be able to share the news after revealing her baby bump at the end of the video for her new single Never Worn White.

The child will be Katy and Orlando’s first together, but the actor, 43, is already a father to son Flynn, nine, who he raises with supermodel ex-wife Miranda Kerr, 36.

Katy had written on Twitter just minutes after the world premiere as she wrote: ‘omg so glad I don’t have to suck it in anymore, or carry around a big purse lol’

Nearly an hour after the video’s premiere, Perry took to her Instagram to speak exclusively on her pregnancy announcement.

In the short livestream, Perry revealed that her impending child with Bloom would be born sometime in the summer months.

‘There’s a lot that’s happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth, literally, and figuratively… to something you guys have been waiting for,’ said Perry.

When asked about her feelings on becoming a mother, Perry expressed eagerness, as well as overwhelming relief in finally being able to share her news with the world.

She said: ‘I’m excited, we’re excited, and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep.’

She added: ‘I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music.’
