Little Daisy Dove could be seen wearing a white babygro and a patterned hat in the first image.
In their statement to UNICEF, the couple stated that although they are joyously celebrating the birth of their daughter, ‘[they] know [they are] the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as [theirs] was.’
‘Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes.
‘Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases.
They added that ‘as parents to a newborn, this breaks [their] hearts, as [they] empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.’
‘As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare.
‘In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival.
‘By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ❤️ can bloom with generosity,’ concluded the couple.
Daisies hold a special significance for the couple. Orlando proposed with an ornate daisy engagement ring on Valentine’s Day 2019.
In a further hint to the newborn’s name ahead of the birth Katy also recently released song Daisies in May with lyrics about the strength of the human spirit as it overcomes adversity.
Promoting body confidence and celebrating the changes to her shape in the video, a heavily-pregnant Katy stripped naked for scenes in a waterfall.
Katy also revealed through the music video for her song Never Worn White which was released in March, that they were expecting their first child together.
The following month, the couple announced the gender of their unborn baby as she shared a snap of the actor, 43, covered in pink cake frosting.
Katy simply captioned the sweet snap: ‘It’s a girl!’
It is the first child for the couple, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, however Orlando already shares son Flynn, nine, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
Earlier this month, Katy and Orlando postponed their wedding for the second time as they wanted to focus on ‘delivering a healthy child’ together.
The couple were rumoured to have planned to tie the knot last winter, before postponing the ceremony – allegedly set to take place in Japan – to this summer.
