"I'm working really hard. The one blessing is I don't have to travel extremely, which can really take it out of you."

Perry, who previously referred to her daughter as "Kicky Perry" during a chat with Hits Radio -- also noted that she'd be surprised if her child wasn't lively and energetic, sharing that the DNA between her and her fiance is so similar that her daughter would likely be the same.

In the chat with the radio hosts, Perry also addressed the rumours that she and Bloom had asked Jennifer ston to be their baby's godmother.

The 'Daisies' singer shared, "She texted us because we are friendly with her, and Orlando is one of her good friends. And we were like, 'Wow, this is a wild rumour.' I mean, God knows with her, she's had everything said about her. But I guess this is a fun rumour. But no, we have no idea where it came from."

The singer went on to call the claim "a product of the media and the internet," before she joked, "You should definitely believe everything that you read."
