American superstar artiste, Katy Perry has revealed she is expecting her first child with her fiancée Orlando Bloom.
The singer, 35, announced her pregnancy in the video for her latest song, Never Worn White, revealing a baby bump in the final frames of the four-minute clip.

In an Instagram story, Perry told fans the couple were “excited” and “happy”, and that the child was due around the same time as her sixth album.
She noted that;
There’s a lot that will be happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth, literally, but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for. So let’s just call it a double whammy. It’s a two-for.
Perry explained the decision to reveal her pregnancy in a music video, saying;
I like to tell you guys everything but I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that’s… I guess that’s how I speak to you. That’s how we speak together to each other.
She added that she’d started to develop food cravings. She now carries Tabasco sauce with her at all times and has been eating “the same burrito for weeks on end”.
Bloom, who is a British actor, already has a nine-year-old son Flynn with his ex-wife, the Australian model Miranda Kerr.
Perry, who was previously married to Russell Brand, has been dating Bloom since 2016.
The actor, who is best known for his roles in Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, proposed to Perry in February 14 2019; and the new Never Worn White song hints that the couple plan to walk down the aisle soon.
