Katy Perry Says Her Marriage Has Been Over For A Long Time, Was Glad Russell Brand Filed For Divorce

Sources connected to the now former couple say that Katy Perry‘s marriage to Russell Brand has been over for for quite some time now, but she didn’t want to upset her religious parents by filing for divorce.

Apparently, they tried to make it work, but both parties felt it “just wasn’t there.” Katy didn’t want to be the one to file for divorce, due to her evangelical Christian background and her family’s belief that divorce is wrong, so Russell Brand stepped up to the plate and took care of business like a real pal. Which is probably why the two will, according to these same sources, toootally remain friends.
