In an interview on Thursday (May 21), Katy Perry got honest about the difficulties of being with-child amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The pop sensation announced she was expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom back in March in a fertility-themed music video for Perry’s song “Never Worn White.” 

The first time mom-to-be shared that she’s been spending quarantine with her fiancé Orlando Bloom and his 9-year old son from his previous relationship with Miranda Kerr, as well as her young nieces. The star also got candid about the struggles of being pregnant and working on promoting her fifth studio album amid stay-at-home orders.

Perry explained in the interview, “In the past, I’ve been a perfectionist slash control freak, and all perfectionist slash control freaks are spiraling right now. And planners are spiraling. So, I’m spiraling a little bit, like, every day. But I also chalk it up to the uncertainty of being pregnant for the first time and having a child and not knowing [the future]. Los Angeles just extended their stay-at-home [order] until maybe August, and I’m just like, ‘OK, I’m going to trust the professionals.’”

The couple revealed the gender of their child last month and shared that they’re expecting a baby girl due sometime this summer on Instagram.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially announced that they’re expecting a baby girl. The singer first announced that she was pregnant with her first child at the beginning of March, when she released her song, “Never Worn White,” complete with floral, fertility-themed visuals. Katy and her baby’s father, fiancé Orlando Bloom, were thrilled to finally be able to share the news with the world, and now, they’re able to share even more news: they’re having a girl!

On Friday, Katy shared a photo on Instagram of Orlando’s face covered in pink icing, the caption reading, “it’s a girl.” Katy also tagged the location as, “Girls Run The World,” clearly stoked to be bringing a little lady into the world.

After she premiered the video for “Never Worn White” back in March, Katy hopped on Instagram live to gush about the exciting news. “I’m excited, we’re excited and we’re happy—and it’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep,” she said. “I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that’s how I speak to you. I had to reveal it at some point because it was getting pretty obvious.” She also confirmed that the baby would be arriving in the summer. Congrats to this growing family!

It’s been good news all around for Katy Perry lately, Not only has the 13x Grammy-nominated singer recently announced that she’s expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom, but she just scored a legal victory. Last summer, Christian rapper Flame, real name Marcus Gray, sued Perry and her collaborators. He accused them of stealing parts of his beat from his single “Joyful Noise” in order to make her smash hit track “Dark Horse” featuring Juicy J. A jury agreed and ordered Perry, Capitol Records, and the “Dark Horse” production team to pay a $2.8 million judgment.

Perry’s legal team immediately filed an appeal and wanted the copyright infringement judgment overturned, and it looks like they took home a win. On Tuesday (March 17), Page Six reported that a judge reviewed the evidence that was presented during the July 2019 trial and decided that “Gray failed the ‘extrinsic test,’ which, per the Hollywood Reporter, ‘requires that a copyright plaintiff identify concrete elements based on objective criteria that the works are similar.'”

It seems Marcus Gray won’t be receiving the millions he’d hoped for. The judgment was much less than he’d originally desired, considering he wanted Katy Perry, Capitol Records, and the producers to fork over $20 million. Check out the tracks below and let us know if you think Katy is in the clear on this one.

Celebrity couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are expecting a bundle of joy. On Wednesday (March 4), Katy released her new love ballad “Never Worn White” along with its music video. In the song, Katy belts out lyrics about how she’s ready to give her all for the love of her life and in a scene where she dons a white dress, Katy reveals her baby bump.

After the music video for “Never Worn White” premiered, Katy hopped on Instagram Live to chat with fans about her latest single and surprise news. According to PEOPLE, Katy said holding back information about her pregnancy under wraps was “probably the longest secret” she’s had to keep. “There’s a lot that will be happing this summer, not only will I be giving birth, literally, but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for,” Katy stated, implying her next album will be released this year.

She added that she and Orlando Bloom are “excited and happy” about their little addition to their family and shared that her cravings have shifted since being pregnant. “[I] literally never cared for spice and now I have to carry Tabasco sauce in my purse,” Katy joked. This is Katy’s first child and Orlando’s second, as he shares a son with model Miranda Kerr. Congratulations to the happily engaged couple and check out the music video for Katy Perry’s “Never Worn White” below.

Orlando Bloom will not have to live with his incorrect tattoo of his son’s name forever, as the actor has had the necessary dot added in order for the  tattoo to actually spell out the name “Flynn” in morse code. Last week, Orlando got clowned after debuting a new tattoo on his right forearm in honour of his 9-year-old son, Flynn. Orlando had the digits of the date and time of Flynn’s birth printed on his arm, along with what he believed was “Flynn” spelled out in morse code.

However, people were quick to point out that the morse code dots and dashes actually translated to the word “Frynn,” and that an extra dot would be needed in order to correctly spell “Flynn.” His tattoo artist, Balazs Bercsenyi, confirmed that they were both aware of the mistake and that he was going to have it fixed. It looks like Balazs came through on his promise, as Orlando shared an updated photo of the tattoo on Wednesday, complete with the correct morse code symbols.

“••-••-••-•—•-• finally dot it right!” Orlando wrote on the post, typing out the proper symbols. “How do you make a mistake like that? #pinterestfail (read the small print).” He also included a screenshot of the initial guide he had consulted, as well as a photo of another new tattoo for his dog, Sidi. “Fortunately I know how to spell Sidi. Forever my boy.” He’s lucky that this was an easy mistake to correct—not all tattoo fails have such a simple fix.

Sometimes when people get tattoos, they get so caught up in the aesthetics that they overlook some crucial details. For example, Orlando Bloom thought a morse code tattoo would look really cool (he was right about that), but he didn’t properly verify that the dots and lines he permanently marked on his arm would spell out his son’s name. 

On Wednesday (Feb. 12), the 43-year-old actor took to Instagram to show off his fresh ink job. “new #tattoo can you guess who?,” he wrote, not anticipating the embarrassing revelation that was about to made about his well-intentioned tribute. While the little digits printed on his right forearm might have accurately represented the date and time of birth of his 9-year-old son, Flynn, the morse code dashes did not translate to his name. Turns out, they read “Frynn”. 

Before you start lamenting that Bloom will have to live with this botched marking for the rest of his days, his tattoo artist confirmed that it is not beyond repair. According to Good Morning America, Balazs Bercsenyi wrote on Instagram, “yes, a dot is missing, we know, it will be fixed.” Phew. Moral of the story, maybe don’t get a morse code tattoo if you don’t actually know/use morse code? The same should apply for roman numerals. 

Orlando Bloom loved his dog so much that he simply would not see him go, leading him to keep his pooch’s skeleton. The 42-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean actor recently opened up about his former pet Sidi and how he not only kept the dog’s skeleton, but something else.

“I had his skeleton mounted so that he stays with me,” he said, Daily Star. “I know that sounds a little odd to some people, but it is quite tastefully done and I still get to say goodnight to him. I just couldn’t stand the fact that he was just not going to be around anymore.” Orlando went as far as to have Sidi’s penis turned into an ornament, as well. 

“They asked me if I wanted to keep the penis. What do you think I said?” he added. “Yes! Actually aesthetically it didn’t look quite right, so I have it on the side.”

Orlando is engaged to singer Katy Perry and the couple are set to get married this year. “Orlando is like a sage. When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do. It’s exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable,” Katy said of her man in Vogue.
