Just when I thought Katy Perry and hubby Russell Brand is going strong, I heard from the radio that they’re getting a divorce after 14 months of marriage!
It has been said that Russell didn’t approve of her partying lifestyle and new claims suggest that he told her to ‘tone it down’. A source said the bickering between them started not long after they tied the knot and while Brand is more of a homebody, having given up his partying ways many years ago, Perry loved going out and they would row when he wanted to leave an event early. He also never apparently liked her friends such as the fun-loving singer Rihanna. Katy called Rihanna as soon as she heard Russell was filing for divorce. Katy was embarrassed about calling her parents as they’d been so against Russell in the first place, but Rihanna was a great support for her and she really helped to calm her down.
The breakup seems to be weighing heavily on the actor who looked glum as he exited the Savoy Hotel.
I find it funny that Katy wanted her husband to file for divorce so that she didn’t have to be the one to end their marriage and disappoint her evangelical Christian parents. Wtf? And while Russell spend Christmas alone in UK while Katy was holidaying in Hawaii. It is also rumored that the couple agreed to split a few weeks ago, but waited to file papers until they were both out of the country.

Russell said in his statement: ‘Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.’
His legal team filed court documents at the Superior Court in Los Angeles yesterday citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The divorce documents, which refer to Perry by her give name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, show there are ‘community property assets,’ suggesting there may not be a pre-nuptial agreement in place.
Katy is worth £28million, a fortune that industry insiders said has rocked recently to at least £45million due to her non-stop touring and commercial ventures. Russell on the other hand has a net worth of about £11million from his stand-up tours and a string of movies including Get Him To The Greek and the remake of the Dudley Moore film Arthur. It was claimed that Russell will be getting about £20million from his divorce, as he is in line for the huge lump sum in a 50/50 split of the couple’s earnings even after just 14 months of marriage.
