Katy Perry, Russell Brand Getting A Divorce

LOS ANGELES (CBSMiami/AP) — Rumors have been swirling for a while and now it appears they are true. Russell Brand and Katy Perry are getting a divorce.

The 36-year-old comedian said Friday: "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

He filed court documents in Los Angeles Friday citing 'irreconcilable differences,' according to TMZ.

The two spent Christmas apart. He was in London and she was in Hawaii. He wasn't wearing his wedding ring either.

Brand and the pop singer married in October 2010. They don't have any kids.
