Katy Perry is in a happy, healthy relationship with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, but long before they were a couple, she was married to Russell Brand, and now he's opened up about their marriage.
The I Kissed a Girl hitmaker and the British comedian divorced just one year after their nuptials in 2010 when he filed the paperwork.
But despite their short-lived romance, Russell insists he really did try to make it work.

He made the confessions during a live Q&A with fans on TikTok when he was quizzed about his ex-wife.
Rather than skirt the issue he said: "I really tried in that relationship. I have nothing but positive feelings for her."
At the time of the break-up, Katy revealed her husband had told her he was planning to divorce her via a text message and that they didn't speak after that.
