Katy Perry has said motherhood was "the best decision I ever made" as she opened up on being a parent with her "incredible" fiancé Orlando Bloom.
The 36-year-old singer welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August last year in the same week she released her sixth album, Smile.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Perry said Bloom's experience of having a 10-year-old son with ex-wife Miranda Kerr had come in useful.
Asked by Kimmel if she is getting much sleep, she said: "Yeah, I have family and support and I’ve got an incredible fiancé who has done this before, he has a 10-year-old son so as much as I was little bit like, 'I don’t need to hear all of those stories’, they actually helped.
"He’s been amazing, incredible and we’re so in love and we’re so grateful."
Perry explained how Bloom was allowed in the room and filmed the birth and admits "he was such a great support".
"We had like a little boombox. He was there and he was so wonderful and just like holding my hand and looking into my eyes.
"You want to film it but you also want to be present so there’s a fine line. He was great, I highly recommend it."
Perry also discussed the presents her celebrity friends gave her to congratulate her on becoming a mother.
Taylor Swift made a hand-embroidered pink silk blanket for Daisy while Perry’s American Idol co-star Lionel Richie sent the baby a robe.
"It was very, very thoughtful," Perry said.
