Miranda Kerr congratulates ex Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry after birth of baby daughter
Orlando Bloom’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr has shared her congratulations after the actor and his fiancée Katy Perry welcomed their first child together.
Bloom, 43, and Perry, 35, announced the news of their daughter Daisy Dove’s birth through Unicef on Thursday, as they are both goodwill ambassadors of the charity.
Sharing a black and white photo showing them holding the newborn’s tiny hand on Unicef’s social media platforms and their own accounts, the couple said that they were “floating with love and wonder” after the “safe and healthy arrival of [their] daughter.”
Australian model Kerr, 37, was among the celebrities to congratulate the pair on Instagram.
“I’m so happy for you guys,” she wrote below Perry’s post, adding: “Can’t wait to meet her.”
Bloom and Kerr married in 2010 and welcomed their son Flynn, now nine, the following year.
They split up in 2013 and Kerr later married Snapchat co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel in 2016.
The couple share two young sons, two-year-old Hart and 10-month-old Myles.
Perry and Bloom announced their engagement last year but had to postpone their wedding plans due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In their birth announcement, Perry and Bloom told followers that they were “the lucky ones” as “not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours.”

"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,” they added, explaining that they had set up a donations page in their daughter’s name to help raise funds for new mothers and their babies.
Perry released her new album Smile on Friday, and joked that she was about to deliver a second child.
“IT’S HERE! IT’S REALLY HERE!” she wrote in an excited Instagram post.
“I finally got back my smile! Hope this record puts one on your face. #SMILE IS OUT EVERYWHERE NOW! LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH ENJOY (sent from my hospital bed lol).”
She also shared a picture of a woman throwing a baby to a man and wrote in the caption: “me after feeding all day handing Daisy off to daddy bout to deliver this 2nd child.”
