She wrote, "sometimes i don't know what's worse trying to avoid the virus or the waves of depression that come with this new norm."

According to 7news, Katy shared her hopes for her baby girl in a Facebook Live last month and said, “in a weird way, being on lockdown has forced me to slow down - which is probably, in turn, really good while I'm growing a child.

“And it's forced me to find even more balance.”
