Song, video confirm Perry pregnancy
Katy Perry has some news to share: She’s pregnant. The singer released a new song, “Never Worn White,” with a video revealing a sizable bump at the end of the clip. Perry has been dating actor Orlando Bloom for over three years — they became Instagram official on May 20, 2016. A rep for the singer confirmed the couple are expecting.
This will be the first child for Perry, who was previously married to Russell Brand for 14 months before the couple divorced in 2011. Bloom has a 9-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
In an Instagram story, Perry stated that she’s due this summer. “Let’s call it a reveal,” she said, adding that a new album is also expected in the coming months. “I’m excited, we’re excited and we’re happy.”
The track’s lyrics infer that the two are on their way to the wedding aisle, as she reveals in the verse, “You asked the question/ I said yes, but I’m scared” and also at the top of the clip, when the bride’s march plays as an intro.
Perry, who’s on her third season as a judge on “American Idol,” marks more than 12 years in the business, having released her Capitol Records debut, “One of the Boys,” in 2008.
