Katy Perry and Russell Brand's marriage came to an end through a text message on New Year's Eve, as revealed by the "Firework" singer.

Russell, who is now married to Scottish blogger Laura Gallacher and has two children with her, was previously married to Katy in 2010. However, their marriage lasted only 14 months. Katy disclosed that Russell ended their relationship by sending her a text message just moments before she was about to perform on stage. The exact content of the text hasn't been disclosed, but it's known that Russell told Katy he was filing for divorce in a single message.

In 2013, Katy spoke about their relationship, stating that she was in love with Russell when they got married. However, she hadn't heard from him since he texted her on December 31, 2011, saying he wanted a divorce.

After their marriage ended, Katy went through a tough time, feeling hurt and her self-worth shattered. She mentioned that she had placed too much of her self-worth in someone else's hands, and when the relationship ended, it was devastating for her.

Katy also shared that Russell's attitude towards her changed after they got married, especially when she invited him to join her on tour. She felt he didn't like her being in charge during the tour, which caused strain in their relationship.

 She added that she eventually learned the "real truth" about why their marriage ended but couldn't disclose it at the time. However, she realized that the breakup wasn't solely her fault and that there were other factors at play.

Russell, on the other hand, has spoken positively about Katy, describing her as an amazing person. He also expressed that he tried his best in the relationship and holds no ill feelings towards her.
