Kary Perry doesn’t want to hire a full-time nanny for her and Orlando Bloom’s daughter Daisy, despite her busy career.
“I work a lot, and I’ve always worked a lot,” Perry, 37, said on Monday’s episode of the “Smartless” podcast.
She continued, “I have a great nanny, but I don’t have a full-time nanny because I feel like if I had a full-time nanny, I could never know how to take care of my daughter the way I’m supposed to. ”
The “Fireworks” singer explained that when she’s not working, she jumps into “mother mode.”
“It doesn’t matter if I had a show the night before that lasts until 11pm, I wake up at 6am and we go for breakfast,” she said, adding, “And yes, I have the no-sleep shakes, but i’m doing mom mode today.
Perry also shared that her 2-year-old daughter is starting to talk and it’s disturbing to find out that little Daisy is using language that the singer didn’t teach her to learn.
“She’s 2, so she’s at the point of saying new words every day,” Perry said. “And the other day she said some words I hadn’t taught her, and I was like, ‘Damn. That doesn’t feel right.’”
She also gushed about her 45-year-old fiancé, Bloom, saying, “Daddy is the best.”
Perry has previously talked about how important it is to her that she spends the mornings with their daughter.
“I try to start my day out with my daughter playing and having some floor time with her. Read a few books. It usually varies what time we wake up, 7 or 8 a.m.,” she told the Wall Street Journal in November 2021. “Sometimes I sleep in and Dad takes her out until 9 a.m., which is great. But we have breakfast together.”
Perry and the ‘Lord of the Rings’ actor welcomed Daisy, their first child together, in August 2020.
They have been engaged since February 2019, after dating occasionally for three years.
Bloom was previously married to Miranda Kerr from 2010 to 2013. They share an 11-year-old son, Flynn.
In May, the American Idol judge said seeing Bloom as a “great father” for Flynn made her want to have children.
“That definitely affected me in the first place,” she had said on the “Dear Chelsea” podcast at the time. “Something in me said, ‘You, mid-thirties, this man is nice. Need to brood.’”
