Katy Perry reveals how she kept pregnancy secret by hiding bump behind big bags and ‘sucking it in’
KATY Perry has revealed she hid her stomach behind big bags and "sucked it in" to avoid revealing she is pregnant.
The pop singer, 35, confirmed she was carrying her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom after sharing her newest music video, Never Worn White.

"Go watch the music video to watch what’s very true."
She continued: "I’m excited, we’re excited and we’re happy — and it’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep.
