Katy Perry gushes fiancé Orlando Bloom was a ‘great support’ when she went into labour and reveals he filmed her giving birth to their daughter Daisy Dove

Katy Perry gushed fiancé Orlando Bloom was a ‘great support’ to her when she gave birth to their daughter Daisy Dove, five months, in August.

The singer, 36, spoke candidly during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, where she also revealed the actor, 44, filmed the occasion.

Reflecting on going into labour during the coronavirus pandemic, she said of her partner: ‘He was such a great support, we had like a little boombox.

‘He was there and he was so wonderful and just like holding my hand and looking into my eyes.’ 

Katy went on: ‘You want to film it but you also want to be present so there’s a fine line.’

Jimmy asked if Orlando filmed her giving birth so they could document the moment, and she said: ‘Yeah, he was great, I highly recommend it.’

The talk show host then jokingly asked if Orlando would be available to film other births, and Katy claimed ‘he should’.

On Monday, Katy revealed her struggle with going back to work after giving birth, during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Perry was joined virtually by her fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to promote the newest season of American Idol – which is coincidentally hosted by Kelly and Ryan’s own Ryan Seacrest. 

After just a few months as new parents, Katy told the daytime talk show hosts that she and fiance Orlando already have Daisy on a set schedule.

‘Yeah, of course there’s a routine,’ Katy said. ‘My daughter is a Virgo and she thrives in routine.’

While the couple is absolutely smitten with their bundle of joy, as a first time mom, it wasn’t easy for Perry to go back to work so quickly after she had the baby. 

‘I did start filming American Idol season 4 after I’d given birth, five weeks later,’ the singer explained. ‘And I didn’t plan that. But it was like, “Oh, my God!” It was so intense, you know?’

She added: ‘Giving birth, then going back to work and breastfeeding, like — holy crap! This is what women do? Oh my God!’
