Sadly for those who adore seeing Katy Perry and Russell Brand together, the dream union lasted only 14 months, with Brand filing divorce from the I Kissed A Girl singer on Friday.
Just what has caused the once-envied Hollywood marriage to fall apart?
Sources close to the British funnyman that the marriage failed as Brand was frustrated with how Perry was unwilling to put her showbiz career on hold to start a family.
“I don’t think Katy really understood what marriage was about. I don’t think she was prepared to give up her career.
“This wasn’t one of those occasions when Russell was mucking about, he wanted to settle down and have a family.
“I don’t think that’s what Katy wants. I think she’s very confused. They’ve been speaking a lot.
“There have been a lot of phone calls this week. Katy is 27. That’s not too young to get married. But professionally she is in a very powerful position.
“She’s just done a year-long tour, she’s incredibly successful and she wasn’t ready to give up her career. I don’t think she was prepared to give that up and give time to the marriage.
“It was reported she was taking a year off, but I don’t think she’s doing that. It’s very sad. Russell is very cut up about it all,” said the source.
