Actor and comedian Russell Brand is known for his controversial actions both in his professional and personal life. He constantly makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. Recently, he has been involved in r*pe charges, s*xual assault, and emotional abuse against four women between 2006 and 2013. Despite this, Brand is currently expecting his third child with his wife Laura Gallacher.
Addressing his previous marriage with Katy Perry, it is reported that Brand ended their relationship by sending her a text message, leaving her shocked and devastated. The couple got married in 2010 but separated by the end of 2011. Their clash mainly revolved around Perry’s partying habits, with Brand being controlling and wanting to start a family, whereas Perry wanted to continue her successful career and enjoy her social life.
A source revealed that Russell had left his partying lifestyle behind and wanted to settle down, but Katy’s commitment to her career and love for partying drove them apart. The source also mentioned that Katy’s success became too overwhelming for Brand, and he couldn’t handle it.
Eventually, after continuous arguments, Russell blindsided Katy by informing her of their divorce through a text message on New Year’s Eve. He turned off his phone, leaving her devastated. It was a surprise for Katy as she expected Russell to come running back. However, they both have strong personalities, which led to a lot of game-playing in their relationship.
Brand blamed Katy’s career for their divorce, stating that he despised the superficial nature of celebrity life. In 2013, Katy Perry spoke about the pain she experienced after the divorce and how it affected her self-worth. She admitted that she relied too much on someone else for her self-identity and that it was a mistake.
She later signed off the divorce papers with a heart and a smiley face. For more updates on pop culture, visit Celebtrends.com!
