Perry, Bloom to reschedule Japan wedding over coronavirus fear

Gulf Today Report 

Singer Katy Perry has reportedly postponed their wedding date after deciding it's the wrong time to visit Japan due to coronavirus threat.

The singer has revealed that she is expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom on Wednesday.

The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 following a three-year on-off relationship.

Bloom, 43, has a 9-year-old son from his first marriage to model Miranda Kerr.

The musician took part in an Instagram Live video with her 90.5m followers, in which she confirmed that she is pregnant.

“There’s a lot that’s happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth, literally, and figuratively… to something you guys have been waiting for,” she said to the camera.

At one point in the live video, Perry shared a close up of her pregnant stomach, before panning the camera back to her face and screaming in excitement.

The couple is now planning to exchange vows in 2021, by which time the "Roar" singer will be a mother.

Japan is one of the high-risk countries with over 1,000 cases of coronavirus on record, with overall 12 deaths.
