As the pregnancy progressed, Katy opened up about the challenges she faced. In a May interview with Radio.com, she admitted to feeling a little overwhelmed. But, as always, Orlando was there to support her every step of the way. "He’s all about spoiling her and trying to get her to relax, to be in the moment and enjoy this special time in their lives," a source told Life & Style at the time. It’s clear that their bond only grew stronger during this time.
Katy Perry’s Journey into Motherhood and Beyond
On August 26, 2020, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, into the world. Four years later, Katy was honored at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards as the Video Vanguard recipient, and she couldn’t help but think about how her life had changed since becoming a mom. "Don’t stay up too late, sweetheart. Eat your broccoli," she joked during her acceptance speech, addressing her daughter who was watching the show "for the very first time." It was a tender moment that highlighted the balance between her public and private life.
For Katy, motherhood has been a transformative experience. "I feel good. I’ve had my daughter and it’s changed my whole life," she shared. "I feel a sense of wholeness and more grounded. I’m writing songs from a place of feeling truly empowered. Feeling truly connected to my feminine divine. It’s changed my life for the better." This newfound perspective is reflected in her latest album, 143, which she created after stepping back from the spotlight to focus on her family. It’s a beautiful reminder of how life’s biggest moments can inspire art.
Daisy has become a major source of inspiration for Katy, influencing many of her recent projects. "What she has given me in my life [is] the unconditional love that I was always searching for," Katy told E! News in April 2024. "Yes, that is where I am creating from. Just like wholeness, happiness, and just true full love." It’s clear that Daisy has brought a new level of depth and meaning to Katy’s life and work.
Orlando Bloom’s Journey as a Dad Before Katy
Before meeting Katy, Orlando Bloom was already a dad. He was married to supermodel Miranda Kerr from 2010 to 2013, and together they welcomed their son, Flynn, on January 6, 2011. Flynn quickly became a part of the family dynamic when Orlando started dating Katy, and the two have formed a close bond. Meanwhile, Miranda has moved on with her life, marrying Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel and welcoming three more children: Hart, Myles, and Pierre.

Katy and Miranda have developed a strong relationship, showing that modern families can thrive in unexpected ways. "In our modern family, she’s probably the most health-conscious of everyone. One of the great things about being close to Miranda is I get to try out all her products, especially when her son comes home with them in his backpack," Katy revealed during an April 2021 Instagram Live. It’s a testament to the fact that love and family can take many forms, and for Katy and Orlando, their blended family is a testament to that.
