Singer Katy Perry and Russell Brand Call It Quits, File For Divorce After Rumors
The “I Kissed A Girl” singer Katy Perry, 27, and British comedian/actor Russell Brand, 36, have called it quits on their one year marriage. According to reports, the actor filed for divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
Prior to the filing, rumors had been circulating that their marriage was in trouble, but both dismissed the reports.
In fact, Russell Brand told Ellen DeGeneres he was happily married in December and discussed the rumors surrounding their marriage.
Katy Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, and Russell Brand began dating in 2009 and he popped the question four months later.
The celebrity couple held their Hindu inspired wedding on October 23, 2010 at a resort in India.
The divorce was filed on Friday in Los Angeles.
