KATY Perry covered her baby bump with a cushion, as she was spotted for the first time since announcing her pregnancy.
The 35-year-old singer, who is expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, held a pillow over her abdomen as she was seen at Melbourne Airport, Australia, on Friday.
The singer announced she’s pregnant with her first child via the music video for her new song Never Worn White on Wednesday.
The video featured her cradling what looked like a baby bump in a white dress, before the final shot left fans in no doubt that the singer was expecting her first child – as she stood sideways on wearing only a sheer gown.
She tweeted: “Omg so glad I don’t have to suck it in anymore… or carry around a big purse lol.”
This is the Firework songstress’ first child with 43-year-old fiancé Orlando.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is already father to son Flynn, nine, with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
Discussing the baby news on SiriusXM Hits 1, she said: “Well it wasn’t an accident.
“I’m so grateful for everything I’ve been able to do and achieve and all the goals I’ve been able to check off my list.”
The Teenage Dream singer – who hid her pregnancy using big bags – said she had been “creating space” for a baby in her life.
“I think I’ve been trying to create this space in my own life where I’m not running myself too ragged, creating space for something new to happen like this.”
The Roar singer added: “We [her and Orlando] were both looking forward to this new interval of life and sharing this.”
The Santa Barbara native also opened up on the unique way she shared her baby news with friends and family.
Ever the creative, Katy revealed that she’d go to friends’ houses with a customized bottle of wine that had the baby announcement on the label as a present.
“I actually put the news on a wine label and I would bring a bottle of wine with a bespoke label that said to it,” she explained.
However, her mom Mary clocked the label straight away.
Katy recalled: “My mom – it was so weird – she just came over and was looking at my wine and she was like, ‘What is this?!’
“I was like, ‘well you’ve ruined the surprise.’ I guess moms have that intuition like no other.”
