You’re talking cravings: I literally never cared for spice, and now? I have to carry Tabasco sauce in my purse like that woman! Some people have essential oils, and I have Tabasco sauce!” At one point, Katy flipped the camera down to show off her massive baby bump and squealed! We are so happy for her.

Katy seemingly let the cat out of the bag about the bun in her oven with the teaser for her new video, “Never Worn White.” In the preview, she is seen in a white dress while cradling her baby bump, and it doesn’t get any more explicit than that. last time Katy sparked pregnancy rumors. Some fans thought they saw a bump when she and Orlando arrived at the L.A. premiere of Amazon’s Carnival Rowat the TCL Chinese Theater in August 2019. While walking the carpet, Katy rocked a long, flowing pink dress that looked glamorous. However, some fans were convinced they spotted the slight showings of a bump.
Katy has said that she always wanted kids. Yet, the timing had to be right for her before she could start a family. “I’m definitely not there yet,” she said to Marie Claire in 2013, “and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit.” She said that her first husband, Russell Brand, “really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready – I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice – I’d have to be home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love.’ ”
Since splitting from Russell in 2012, Katy has found love with Orlando Bloom. They hit it off at a Golden Globes party in early 2016, instantly sparking rumors of a potential romance.
