Katy Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom looked every inch the happy couple as they stepped out with their three-year-old daughter, Daisy, in New York City.
As the couple enjoyed a leisurely stroll through Tribeca, the pop star, 39, and actor, 47, were seen holding each of their little girl’s hands as they crossed the street as a family on Wednesday.
At one point, Bloom gave his youngest child a ride on his shoulders as Perry drank a warm beverage and carried Daisy’s pink reusable water bottle with Hello Kitty on it.
For the laid-back outing, the 13-time Grammy nominee sported a light grey crop top and a pair of matching biker shorts.
She completed her casual look with a black quilted Chanel waist bag, sunglᴀsses and several necklaces layered on top of each other.
This marks Perry’s first sighting since fiercely defending her decision to work with controversial music producer, Dr. Luke, on her upcoming album, 143.
Some people have taken issue with Perry for working with Dr. Luke after he was locked in a decade-long legal battle with peer Kesha, 37, who he sued in 2014 when she him of physical, Sєxual, and emotional abuse, which he denied.
The legal battle was ultimately settled.

However, while appearing on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker insisted that her lyrics all come from her own personal experiences and do not reflect the views of the producer.
She explained: ‘I understand that it started a lot of conversations.
‘And he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with.’
The Wide Awake singer insists Luke is simply someone who helps her ‘facilitate’ her music.
She went on: ‘But the reality is it comes from me.
‘The truth is I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis, and he was one of the people to help facilitate all that—one of the writers, one of the producers.
‘I am speaking from my own experience.
‘When I speak about Woman’s World, I speak about feeling so empowered now as a mother, as a woman, giving birth creating life, creating another set of organs, a brain, a heart. I created a whole whole heart and I did it. I’m still doing it. And I’m still a matriarch. And feeling really grounded in that, that’s where I’m speaking from.’
Katy insists her music comes from a ‘place of celebration and love’.
She added: ‘I don’t feel like I have to make music.
‘I don’t feel like I have to prove anything. I’m doing it now from a place of celebration and love.’
Perry’s collaboration with Dr. Luke sparked major controversy ahead of her much-anticipated comeback.
In June, Rolling Stone reported that the multi-Grammy Award nominee was collaborating with Dr. Luke as well as Max Martin, Sarah Hudson and Stargate on her sixth record.
Perry ‘knew exactly the album she wanted to make and put together the team to make it happen,’ a Capitol Records source told the outlet of the collection of talent the former American Idol judge put together for her first release since 2020’s Smile.
The feedback online was pointed toward both Perry and Dr. Luke, who last year settled a defamation lawsuit with Kesha, 37, after she claimed in a 2014 lawsuit that he had Sєxually and physically abused her.
