Katie Perry and Russell Brand to call in Matrimonial Solicitors?
Rumours are rife that Katie Perry and Russell Brands short marriage may already be in crisis. The media have claimed this week that Katie has been asking friends to recommend marriage councilors or therapists. This is not the first time the media have reported problems with their relationship, in 2010 Russell was accused of becoming bored with his fiancé, but the couple pulled through this difficult period and went on to marry in November 2010 in India.Recent events may have led to the problems, for example Russell posting an unflattering photograph of his new wife without make up on his twitter page. The picture was pulled quickly afterwards, but the photo was already published all over the internet. Katies song Teenage Dream features the lyrics ‘You think I’m pretty without any makeup on’, inspired by Russell.
There has also been speculation from colleagues on Brands current film shoot for Arthur, who claim that Katie has been unusually absent over recent re-shoots, whereas she spent a lot of time on set during the initial filming. The couples activity on the popular social networking site Twitter has also caused a stir, with the couple hardly ‘tweeting’ to each other, both wrote messages throughout the relationship but have stopped recently.
The couple face six months apart this year, and this is a bad time for marital problems, as there will be little chance to spend time together. Katie is due to start her 9 month international California Dreams world tour which begins on February 20th and runs until November. Her husband will be filming for Arthur in New York with co-star Jennifer Garner.
Katie has previously been credited with producing a list of rules for Russell to follow whilst she is away, which include having a handset specifically for her and speaking to her first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Calling her sweetheart and cleaning the house also feature. Katie has been quoted as saying she has worked time with her husband into her schedule, and will spend a day with him for every two nights she works.
This is not the first time the couple have spent time apart, and they have been quoted as saying they work better when they aren’t together all the time. Let’s hope this is true, and that they don’t end up requiring the services of matrimonial solicitors.
