The mother, 25-year-old Takara, was already pregnant when SeaWorld announced it had stopped breeding orcas.
The whale was profiled in Blackfish, a 2013 documentary that helped sway popular opinion against keeping killer whales in captivity.
The whale, known as John Coe, was spotted off Slea Head.
145 children had their wishes granted last year.
The Orca had become snagged on rocks as low tide set in in Hartley, Canada.
According to a crew filming the whale, this was an attempt at communication.
The orca killed the park worker by dragging her under the water. The whale is linked to two previous deaths.
