Katy seemingly let the cat out of the bag about the bun in her oven with the teaser for her new video, “Never Worn White.” In the preview, she is seen in a white dress while cradling her baby bump, and it doesn’t get any more explicit than that. last time Katy sparked pregnancy rumors. Some fans thought they saw a bump when she and Orlando arrived at the L.A. premiere of Amazon’s Carnival Rowat the TCL Chinese Theater in August 2019. While walking the carpet, Katy rocked a long, flowing pink dress that looked glamorous. However, some fans were convinced they spotted the slight showings of a bump.
Katy has said that she always wanted kids. Yet, the timing had to be right for her before she could start a family. “I’m definitely not there yet,” she said to Marie Claire in 2013, “and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit.” She said that her first husband, Russell Brand, “really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready – I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice – I’d have to be home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love.’ “
Since splitting from Russell in 2012, Katy has found love with Orlando Bloom. They hit it off at a Golden Globes party in early 2016, instantly sparking rumors of a potential romance. After attending an Adele concert and a Hawaiian vacation together, they couldn’t keep their passion a secret for long. Katy confirmed the relationship with a May 2016 Instagram post from the Cannes Film Festival. A few months later, Orlando took Katy for a nude paddleboarding ride, and it seemed that all was going swimmingly.

However, they abruptly called it quits in March 2017, after about a year of dating. “Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time,” their joint statement read. Thankfully for these lovebirds, the split didn’t last. They were back together by the end of the year, and their relationship has been stronger than ever. On Valentine’s Day, 2019, Orlando popped the question, and now, they’re having a baby!
This will be Katy’s first child. For Orlando, it will be his second. He shares a son, Flynn, with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. Congratulations!
