Though the couple have yet to tie the knot, and Katy revealed they were still in the wedding planning process, she maintained that welcoming Daisy was one of the most intentional decisions she has ever made.

As Drew detailed wanting to "have my stuff together as much as possible" before having children, she asked her: "Did you have a perception of what that journey would be for you?

To that, the Fireworks hitmaker said: "I went and did so much work before, because I was nervous about just some stuff I had from my past, and I wanted to kind of clear that, and I wanted to change all the energy."
