Celebrated pop icon Katy Perry recently set the internet ablaze with her appearance at the Billboard Women in Music event. Donning a striking red two-piece ensemble that mirrored the allure of a mermaid, the 39-year-old found herself at the epicenter of widespread pregnancy rumors.
For her look, Katy opted for a daring blend of a strapless corset and a figure-hugging red skirt accented with silver fabric and criss-cross detailing that left her underwear and a bit of her backside exposed. She paired her ensemble with pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, red lipstick, towering black heels, and fashioned her black locks into a sleek long ponytail and fringe.

The “Dark Horse” artist sparked a frenzy among onlookers who believe Katy could be pregnant with her second child with her fiancé Orlando Bloom. Social media platforms were flooded with comments and conjectures.
“She is definitely pregnant,” one person declared confidently, while another pondered, “Is this [a] reveal announcement?” The curiosity didn’t stop there, with others hinting, “Um, baby #2 coming soon…” and outright stating, “Katy looks pregnant,” and “Is she pregnant [?] 🤰.”

While many focused on the possibility of a new addition to Katy and Orlando’s family, some voices expressed concern over her choice of attire, particularly in light of Katy’s role as a mother. “I love you Katy but this is too much as [a] mom; have some respect,” criticized someone. “I don’t care how hot my body is…I wouldn’t [wear] that dress, plus I’m a mom…I want some respect!” another echoed.

Despite the flurry of reactions to her outfit and the swirling pregnancy rumors, the couple has yet to confirm any news regarding expecting a second child.
As far as where the possibility of bringing a new life into the world stands, Katy Perry has previously discussed putting baby plans with Orlando Bloom on hold due to her Las Vegas residency. In a 2022 interview, she clarified, “I’m in Vegas, and I can’t do that show with anything in my belly, especially a human.”

Instead of focusing on how soon she may or may not have her next baby, the doting mom diverts her attention to her and Orlando’s beloved daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, who was already running, coloring, and letting her loved ones know that she loves them at age one.
In August 2020, as part of advancing the initiative to advocate for healthcare for expecting mothers and newborns globally, Katy and Orlando—both UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors—teamed up with UNICEF to announce Daisy’s birth.
UNICEF shared an endearing image of the couple holding their newborn’s hand and accompanied the post with a message conveying the couple’s happiness and their commitment to helping others. A part of the caption stated, “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter […] But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was.”
Since Daisy’s birth, Katy has openly shared the transformative experience of motherhood, often emphasizing the new perspective it has brought her. In an interview she did two years ago, Katy gushed over Daisy, saying she’s a good combination of both her and Orlando.
She also marveled at the joy of rediscovery she has experienced through Daisy. “It’s amazing to see everything new again through a toddler’s eyes,” Katy swooned.

Outside of her marveling over her daughter and her life as a mother, Katy has also spoken about her professional life. Interestingly, just last month, she hinted at an impending ordeal that is set to take place this year during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
While discussing her career at large and the fact that her time as a judge on “American Idol” will come to an end soon, Katy teased, “I have some things planned for this year […] It’s gonna be a very, very exciting year.”
