The couple met in 2008 and married in October 2010 at a resort inside a tiger reserve in India. The comedian filed divorce papers in the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. In a statement the 36-year-old said: "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." The announcement comes after speculation in the press about the state of their relationship. The couple spent Christmas apart, Brand was pictured in Cornwall while Perry was seen spending it with friends in Hawaii - neither was wearing a wedding ring. Brand made his US breakthrough presenting the MTV awards in 2008, causing outrage when he branded then-President George W Bush "a retarded cowboy fella" who "wouldn't be trusted with scissors" in England. Despite the controversy, he was asked back in 2009 and went on to score acting roles in Hollywood comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This year Brand played the animated heir to the Easter Bunny's throne in the family film "Hop" and took on the title role in "Arthur", a reimagining of the 1981 Dudley Moore classic. Perry's run of No. 1 singles earned her the distinction of becoming MTV's first artist of the year earlier this month. When she hosted the US comedy show "Saturday Night Live" on December 10 she gave no indication the couple was in trouble.
Russell Brand has announced he has filed for divorce from US singer Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.

By Rick KelseyNewsbeat reporter The Knowles-Carter family released a statement saying Jay Z and Solange have apologised to one another. It adds: "They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public." There is still no word over what the argument was about. The three-minute video was released by celebrity gossip site TMZ on Monday. It was shot inside the Standard Hotel in New York. The hotel said it had fired the person who recorded the video. Reports about Solange being drunk and "displaying erratic behaviour" are false according to the statement, given to the AP news agency. It read: "As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. "But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. "They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. "They both have apologised to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
