Last updated 6th Mar 2020
American pop star Katy Perry and her Hollywood actor fiancé Orlando Bloom announced they were expecting their first child yesterday (Thursday 5th March), when Katy unveiled her stunning baby bump in her brand new music video for 'Never Worn White'.
And whilst the couple, who announced their engagement on Valentine's Day in 2019, were due to get married in Japan in June this year, it looks like they've made the decision to postpone their nuptials over fears surrounding the Coronavirus.
According to new reports by People, Katy has made the decision as she fears the virus will cause problems for her 150 guests.
A source told the publication, "Katy was actually really excited about walking down the aisle pregnant. They were both so elated that all the wedding details were finally coming together, but they are hitting pause because of coronavirus."
The news comes just hours after Katy confirmed she was pregnant with her first child, revealing the news in her amazing new video for 'Never Worn White'.
After the release, Katy took to her Twitter page, telling her 108.4 million followers, 'omg so glad I don’t have to suck it in anymore. Or carry around a big purse lol'. (sic)
The 35-year-old later thanked her followers, admitting she was a little nervous about sharing her personal news.
She wrote, 'love u guys so much. was a bit nervous about sharing something so personal like the song n the bump n I hv never gotten this much love n support, it’s overwhelmingly lovely. thank u Pleading faceHeart suit #NeverWornWhite #babycat'. (sic)
