Russell Brand has filed for divorce from his pop star wife Katy Perry. The couple are to split after spending the festive season 7000 miles apart. Katy spent the Christmas surfing in Hawaii whilst Russell was in Cornwall.  

The couple have been married for 14 months. Katy and Russell married in 2010 in a lavish wedding ceremony in India. As Russell did not want to sign a pre-nuptial agreement, he could be entitled half of Katy’s $40million fortune. Due to Californian law Russell and Katy would have to split their assets between them equally when the divorce is final.

Rumours surrounding the reason for the split include Russell’s desire for children and Katy not wanting to settle down to be a mother any time soon. Also that Russell is sick of Katy’s constant partying. The statement Russell issued stated that the reason for the split was ‘irreconcilable differences’ – Katy has not yet made a statement about the divorce.

With constant scrutiny throughout their relationship Russell and Katy have always appeared happy – despite rumours of troubles and potential break-ups, they always put on a strong front when in front of the media. They have even been quoted in recent interviews, including Russell on the Ellen DeGeneres show in early December that they were happy and remain strong.

Another rumour surrounding the couple is that Katy was not prepared to divorce Russell, and waiting for him to divorce her as it would go against her religious beliefs. Katy is from an Evangelical Christian family, her father is a pastor. Despite Russell’s rock and roll past, Katy’s family have always supported their relationship, being quoted that ‘everyone has a past’ when speaking of Russell’s previous life style.

The couple have been plagued by rumours since the beginning. They met at the VMA’s in September 2008 but Katy was with ex-boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes, Travie McCoy. A year later they reunited at the VMA’s, both Katy and Russell were single and they started seeing each other from then on. Celebrity writers have continuously doubted that the relationship would last from the off, as they went into it quite fast, with Russell proposing to Katy just 4 months into the relationship.

Recent speculation regarding the wedding plans of stars Russell Brand & Katy Perry has been fuelled by an apparent ‘slip-up’ by Perry on The Graham Norton Show.

While she was being interviewed on the show, twenty five year old pop star Katy Perry talking about Brand said, ‘Life’s never dull with him - that’s why I married him!’ The statement caused a gasp of shock from the audience & Graham Norton, while Katy quickly back tracked saying, ‘That’s why I’m marrying him!’ The couple became engaged while in India over the New Year period.

While Katy refused to be drawn into admitting any substance behind the slip, she also referred to Brand’s mother – Barbara – as her mother in law.

Brand himself has frequently - & for some time – referred to Perry as his wife.

It is thought by some that they may indeed have married in secret to avoid the media attention that the event would inevitably draw.

It’s impossible to know what the truth of the matter is. Rumours abound regarding the details of the wedding & the pair are openly discussing their plans for the forthcoming marriage. They will allegedly marry in September, exactly one year after they started dating. It is reported that they have hired Atsuko Kudo - fetish-wear specialist & costume designer to Lady Gaga – to design latex outfits for the ceremony.  Perry is known to be somewhat partial to latex, announcing at the Much Music awards recently:  The latex is probably the most comfortable thing I ever wear because it just sticks on you. You sweat a little bit, but it’s like a perfect fit! It makes you look extra skinnier than you are. It’s hard to get off because you’re like, a little sweaty. It’s like trying to take a balloon off your thighs.’

Perry has also been talking about her proposed hen party this week & has suggested that she’d like her friend Rihanna to strip at it: ‘I want her to strip at my party! She’s hot- she’s the coolest chick and we have a lot in common.’

The couple have recently had to spend some time apart while he promoted his new film ‘Get Me To The Greek’. Now that they are back together Perry is feeling somewhat miffed that Brand is spending so much time watching the World Cup. ‘Yesterday we had a day off and the game was on. Everybody in England, everywhere, was quiet, no one is on the street…’

‘Everything is about football right now. It’s like, when I was with him last night he was up late watching football. And he was online reading all about it and it’s like, “How much can you read?”‘

Katy Perry is looking to buy a home in London.

The ‘I kissed a Girl’ singer told fans at her recent show in Water Rats theatre, in London that she’s fallen in love with the city.

She said: “Thanks for popping my cork, London, it’s been really messy! I love this city and I want to get a place here.”

The 23-year-old has topped the charts for five weeks with her single ‘I Kissed a Girl’, but performed to an intimate crowd of just 200 people at the venue.

Recently, Katy’s mother Mary Hudson - who is deeply religious - branded her hit song “shameful and disgusting” and admitted she hates her daughter’s raunchy image.

Mary - who along with her husband Keith is a preacher in California - said: “I can’t even listen to that song. The first time I heard it I was in total shock. It promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray.

“She is our daughter but we strongly disagree with how she is conducting herself and she knows how disappointed we are.

“The message she is promoting is about homosexuality, which the bible clearly states is a sin.”
