Perry, whose birth name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom in 2020.

She shares the one-year-old with fiancé Orlando Bloom, who popped the question back in 2019.

The hitmaker said the two still plan to marry, but the pandemic has pushed their wedding plans back.

‘We’re still trying to make it work, [but] every two months it’s like: new variant! New variant!’ she said on Australian radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

The two have kept their daughter’s identity private. She’ll turn two in August.
