Pregnant Katy Perry looks ready to pop as she caresses her bump in purple swimsuit

Pregnant Katy Perry looked like she was ready to pop as she hit the beach with her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

The stunning pop star, 35, is just weeks away from welcoming her first child with the actor, 43.

Katy was glowing as she slipped into a flattering purple swimsuit for a day out in Santa Barbara, California with her beau and some pals, including Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner.

Katy was pictured sweetly caressing her bump as she put her feet up on a sunlounger to make the most of the scorching heat.

The singer protected herself from the rays with a wide-brimmed beach hat and a pair of sunglasses as she relaxed beneath a beach umbrella.

The mum-to-be proudly rubbed her bump as she chatted with pals, standing confidently with her hands on her hips as she enjoyed the feel of the sand between her toes.

Lord of the Rings star Orlando added a bit of adventure to the day out as he hopped onto a jet ski to cruise along the water.

Katy and Orlando are due to welcome their first child together very soon.

But sadly, they've had to push their wedding back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

They originally planned to tie the knot last winter, but pushed back their nuptials until this summer, planning a ceremony in Japan.

But now, they've hit another bump in the road.

Katy recently said: "You can’t plan anymore in 2020 because those plans are ­always cancelled. We just want to ­deliver a healthy child. Everyone has to take life one week at a time right now."

The star has been proudly showing off her bump on social media ever since she shocked fans by announcing her pregnancy in a music video.

And while she's loving her pregnancy body, she's admitted that sleeping next to Orlando has proven a little tricky.

She said: "He’s so hot. He’s got a six-pack. I literally look like a square, I look like Shrek.

"Large Marge in charge. Aren’t partners supposed to have that sympathy pound-gain thing?

"Not him, he ages backwards. I think it’s because he gets up at 7am and chants."

The coronavirus pandemic has also forced Katy to delay the release of her next album.

She told her fans on Twitter that SMILE, which was due to drop on August 14, won't be available for a while longer.

She posted: "Welp. I hate to throw this bad news at you like a pie in the face...but if there’s anything 2020 taught me, it’s to not get too attached to plans and be malleable.

"Due to unavoidable production delays, my album #SMILE will now be released weeks later on August 28".

But Katy promised to make it up to her legion of devoted fans.

She added: "To make this up to you, starting this Sunday (Aug 2) and until the album drops (or until #Babycat...whichever comes first) join me for #SmileSundays!

"Every Sunday, time TBA soon, I’m going to go on LIVE for 30 minutes or more and talk all things SMILE.

"you’ll see new merch... I’ll play some snippets... maybe we’ll go live together... we’ll def have a good chat!

"Clowns-n-Cats - Thanks for being so flexible in this time... it’s a wild one, for sure, but I hope the patience will be worth the wait!"
