The ‘Teenage Dream’ hitmaker is due to give birth this summer.
Speaking in an Instagram Live video, she began by saying: "I’m late … but you already knew that.
"There’s a lot that will be happening this summer, not only will I be giving birth – literally – but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for."
Katy admitted she and Orlando – who has nine-year-old son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr – are "excited and happy" about their baby news.
She added: "So let’s call it a double whammy, a two fore.
"I’m excited, we’re excited and we’re happy – and it’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep.
"I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that’s how I speak to you."
