Russell Brand Files for Divorce from Katy Perry [UPDATE]

Truth rating: 10

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are divorcing after one year of marriage.

Brand filed the documents in Los Angeles on Friday, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

He has released a brief comment: “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

No official date of separation is given in the filing.

Perry and Brand spent Christmas apart, and were both recently spotted without their wedding rings.

They have been dogged by rumors of an imminent split ever since they married in October 2010.

The court documents also reveal that the couple has “community property assets” to divide – meaning there is money at stake in the divorce regardless of whether or not Brand and Perry had a prenuptial agreement.

Gossip Cop will have more details.

    so much for the guy who called Gossip Cop “shoddy journalism” in yesterday’s prequel article…

    Most people said this marriage would last a year. Looks like they went the extra three months to make them lose their betting pools.

  • Mel

    I actually thought they were cute together! I wanted them to last.

    Ahhhhh so much for the sanctity of marriage!

  • Ee

    Not really a surprise and another time when a celeb couple deny there are any problems and then wham days later they are getting divorced .I pretty much take any denial from a celebrity couple with a pinch of salt Next will be the Richie/Madden marriage

  • Orangecatoc3

    Well I am not surprised. I don’t like either one of them. Both are overrated!

    That’s too bad. I was really hoping they would last.

  • Lori

    Thank goodness! He always looks so dirty to me. She can do SO much better!

  • Danny

    It’s not surprising. but it’s disappointing. It was that one couple that everyone was predicting to split up but that everyone really hope they wouldn’t since they were so cute and everything. It’s too bad. :(

    She want Robert Pattinson

  • Anon

    What ever happened at working on ur marriage before giving up? I’ll never understand.

  • Meena

    Weird, I was thinking the opposite.

  • you know

    He probably decided 14 months of scattered mornings (due to their schedules) waking up to Katy w/o makeup was enough. I cannot unsee that twitter picture.

  • Linda

    This is not surprising since they jumped into marriage so fast.

  • D. Martin

    I’m sad for her and I’m sad for him. He talked about them remaining friends. I don’t know…it seems the marriages that do last are the ones where they are actually friends before they become a couple. I think people are so anxious to be a couple that they never take the time to become friends. Friends work things out…couples get divorced.

  • Chris R

    Love how this web site denies rumors like this then soon after we find out the rumor is true. Just like the Kardashian/Humpries and Ashton/Demi divorces….this place is a tool of the stars to try to keep rumors under hand.

  • Tmann1606

    Can’t understand them getting married anyway. Her raised in a very strong Christian faith and him be a nutt!! People need to think before diving in.

  • French Flies

    I really hoped they would have lasted. Less attention on the wedding and more on the marriage, Hollywood.

  • D. Martin

    They had a pretty lavish wedding…just like Pitt/Aniston, Humphries/Kardashian, and others. It seems like the more lavish the wedding the more apt they are to split.

  • Chloe

    I feel sad for the both of them break-ups are never pleasant. But, I have to say I NEVERED liked them together and I did not see it working but I was hoping they would prove me wrong. Russell did it all the drugs and women when he was young, Now that he is better he is too old and settled for a much younger Katie. Katie is just getting into her young groove-on… to be a settle down wife of a mid 30 year old ex sex drug addict. Russell has been there and done that.

    I wish them both the best.

  • Laarni

    It is always sad to see a marriage ends. Hollywood marriages are like merchandise. Barter, trade, return, or discard. They don’t realise that the first year is the hardest. Their egoes and pride get the better of them; no one wants to give in, nor to compromise. Tragic.
    Anyhoo, another English partner bites the dust. They like their pubs and partying too much.

    IIIIII KNNEEEEWWW IIIIITTTT

  • Guest

    I wonder if the first thought of a celebrity when they have an argument is, “I best ring my lawyer, get the papers ready”. I mean why do they bother getting married at all it just means nothing to them.

  • Laarni

    Am beginning to have my doubts too about this website, whether their people work to really find out the truth. They either deny, deny or no comment until it is official.

  • Anonymous

    Why must I say something? Cause its what I do best. :D I knew from the time they got married even if I was happy for Katy Perry that they were an odd couple. Just saying. I could just sense it maybe.

  • diamond

    Why, did she invite RPattz to join her & her circle of friends Sarah & Shannon in Hawaai yet? Or just him? Excellent!

  • http://www.marriageadviceonline.net/ Liam

    This marriage was doomed from the beginning. Being celebrities with a diary full of commitments would make things hard enough, but it seems they didn’t even sit down and discuss how they wanted their marriage to be beforehand, in terms of where they would live, children, partying etc. Russel being a recovering addict probably made Katy’s partying hard to deal with too.

  • snickers

    Whats up with the katty perry robert pattinson thing? She cant have him and I bet he doesnt want her. He s with kristen stewart.

  • snickers

    He looks clean but he s so much different then her. I didnt really think they would split up but I did think it was odd for them to be together when I first herd about them being together. Its really sad that this happened.

    me too

    Were they in love or in lust?

    “Hawaii”

  • Guest

    I’d rather hear the person’s/couple’s/agent’s comment on a situation here at Gossip Cop, even if it turns out they are covering up the truth to give themselves time to possibly work it out, etc. VS gossip magazines spreading lies with sensational headlines. Even though those same magazines seem to get it right every so often, they need to remember we all have read Aesop’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I’ll never believe the rags. Sorry. Batting .001 isn’t good enough for me. Besides, I’ve never considered it my “right” to know when a couple starts having problems in their relationship.

  • woowoo

    naaaw so sad :( oh well. I was wondering how they were making it work though, seeing as their jobs are both crazy busy. I guess it wasn’t working..

  • Anonymous

    I kind of think it’s telling that he filed for divorce. Nothing against her but anyone who is having marriage issues who runs off to Hawaii for Christmas instead of spending time with her family or working on her marriage is definitely saying go screw yourself.
    Plus,as a recovering addict hanging out with someone who is clearly still very interested in partying is not good. He looked super embarrassed at the VMA’s when he was doing a tribute to Amy Winehouse, who died of addiction, and she’s talking about how drunk she is.

    Sad. I liked them, they were cute together.

  • Linda

    Over 50% of marriages in the general public don’t last. The celebrity rate is probably 90%.

  • Anonymous

    U are a nerd. I’m not even a twilight fan so I don’t know where your comment comes into fall here.

  • Jennifer

    Awww.. and nobody appreciates YOU, right? And you’re underrated and could act/sing/dance rings around 99.999999% of those talentless dirtbags in Hollywood, couldn’t ya?

    Hey, Clueless, nobody likes a sour grape. Especially when it’s on a topic that’s sad anyway. If you don’t like them, why even bother to come in and make a nasty remark? Passing along your bad day?

  • Jennifer

    Me, too. I don’t usually care one way or the other on these hook-ups/break-ups, but something about these two – very cute couple. Seemed like nice people and lots of fun. It’s a shame. I hope they both get past it as easily as possible.

  • Eragoness031

    I am so sorry that Katy and Russell are parting. She is a kind and thoughtful person. I congratulate her for putting on a free concert for Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta CA, her alma mater. How many celebs do something for nothing. Gee, look at Kim K. She gets 100,00 to 1,000.000. just for showing up at a club. I wish Katy and Russell nothing but happiness with the right person. They both deserve to be happy, especially Katy. Katy, smile girl, you are a Firework.Hugs from an old Grandma. Love you K

  • ariagirl
