In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children.
Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child.
Perry was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.

Supernatural star Jensen Ackles reveals how he copes with fame
Jensen Ackles is able to cope with fame thanks to the "stability" in his family life. The 47-year-old actor- who has been married to former One Tree Hill star Elta Danneel Graul since 2010 and has caughter Justice, 12, as well as eight-year-old twins Zeppelin and Arrow with her - moved from Texas to Connecticut with his family two years ago and has now explained that his home life has given him a "good foundation" for when the cameras are away. He told PEOPLE: "I've got a really, really quiet, peaceful life. When I go home, I'm home. I'm not Jensen the actor. I'm Jensen the husband, the dad, the friend, the brother, the son. I think having that stability in my personal life has really given me a good grounding, a good foundation for what I do." The Supernatural star - who began his career when he was cast in the soap opera Days of Our Lives - has even found that he has been able to impress his eldest because of the celebrity connections he has. He said: "It's not just because of what I do, but because of who I know sometimes. "That's given me a lot of credit — not only with her, but with her friends, which is key." However, he is not so keen on the idea of her watching his latest role in the racy drama The Boys just yet. He said: "I don't ever want her watching,' he jokes, before adding, 'Maybe when she's in her 30s." Despite this, Jensen recently spoke of his excitement that his eldest will be able to watch him in Countdown. He said: "I do think my oldest is old enough to watch this, so she's fired up to see it. "There's not a lot that they can watch yet. She (Justice) hasn't really gotten to see her dad in action. And in this one, I'll be in action. "But they know. Trust me, they know."

The one simple choice that could transform your workday
In 2023, an Australian news presenter descended into helpless giggles when her on-air guest accidentally applied a Zoom filter that adorned him with a tiny pizza hat. While the full recording is lost to the mists of time, I can say with vast confidence that witnessing a bashful man from the Royal Automobile Association flee the screen, thanks to the indignity of his tiny pizza hat, was infinitely more entertaining and joyful than whatever he was there to discuss. Cars, I imagine. Zoom and other video call mainstays – like Google Meet or the blighted and forbidden Microsoft Teams – have cemented their place in work culture, thanks to the rise of remote work and the legacy of COVID lockdowns. For many, this means much of your day is spent staring at your co-workers shrunken into tiny grey squares, microphone muted, an open tab with a beguiling lamp for sale demanding your attention. No matter how exciting, fun or satisfying your career is, the day-to-day drudgery of the 9-to-5 can swiftly become a monotonous bore. The office transforms into a depressing, yoghurt smelling cage, your desk a yoghurt-spattered shackle; and Cindy from HR, a nightmare who keeps offering you yoghurt. It's easy to get bored. I once worked in an office where a truck got stuck in the street, and we all gathered to watch it fail to budge for about four hours – seriously, a stationary truck was more interesting than our jobs. This begs the question: why are we letting our video calls remain such a dull punishment when, with just a click of a button, they could easily become a fun and whimsical experience? For most professional situations, you're presented with two key video options: the ever-mysterious blurred background or the bold declaration of going au naturel, an untouched background that offers a brief and usually uninteresting window into your co-workers lives, minus the celebrity cameo from an angry, food-begging cat or a glimpse of a snoozing dog. The blur is an incontrovertibly untrustworthy move to make. What are you trying to hide from the greedy eyes of your co-workers? A scary hoarder's house full of filth? Or perhaps you're 'working from home' from a pristine island beach somewhere.
