Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry ... TMZ has learned.
In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand cites "irreconcilable differences." The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India. They have no kids.
The divorce docs say there are "community property assets" -- it's a sign there might not be a prenup, or if there is one it doesn't cover all of the earnings and other assets they accumulated.
The docs do not give a date the couple separated.
Russell has released a statement, claiming, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."
Sources had told TMZ the couple was having problems, evidenced by the fact that they spent Christmas apart and neither was wearing a wedding ring.
Although it's not 100%, based on what we now know it appears Brand may have blindsided Perry by filing the divorce petition.
Russell appeared on "Ellen" just this month, slamming divorce rumors (below) -- claiming, "I'm really happily married ... I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive."
awww...this is sad too! i really like them both! hope they are happy some how??? hollywood has a way of just splitting people up doesn't it! wishing you and yours a wonderful and happy new year!!! hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's sad, I was rooting for them! I sure hope he didn't do this and blind side her for real, marriage is hard work and I would hate to hear he decided to file for divorce over a spat!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say that I was shocked but sadly I am not. People just don't take marriage serious anymore. It's a sad state we live in.
ReplyDeleteI hope Katy wasn't taken by surprise- but I am not totally shocked by this news. I was rooting for them! Hopefully it won't be a messy split.
