Katy Perry & Russell Brand Getting Divorced
Comedian Russell Brand has filed the paperwork to get a divorce fom his songstress wife Katy Perry.
Brand cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce. The two have been married since October 23, 2010, after a ceremony in India.
Brand released the following statement: “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”
What do you think readers? Is this a surprise or did you see it coming?
I wish he’d filed this a few months ago so I could have won a bar bet I made about a year ago… Any speculation as to why?
The rumor seems to be that he didn’t respect her family’s religious views. But I’m sure we’ll hear lots more details in the weeks to come.
I hear he wanted a family and was a homebody. Being Sober he wasn’t into the party thing.
beachdreaming, those sound like reasonable personality differences. Unclear why these didn’t come up *before* getting married, but I guess marriage is a fluid institution, among celebrity types anyways.
I can’t see Russell Brand as a homebody. But maybe he only does the two extremes. That being said – I know a lot of people were speculating that Perry was actually peggars for awhile.
I’m not really surprised actually. Especially since I heard they were doing couple counseling before they were married.
I can’t really see it either Emma, but its what I have read. I guess he just doesn’t want to be tempted. *shrug* Maybe she was preggers and lost the baby? Maybe that took its toll?
Awful as I thought they looked together, this is sad news.
