A year after their divorce in 2011, Brand's ex-wife Katy Perry opened up about the relationship, with some not-so-good reflections on Russell. She told Vogue: "He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011." An interview with Perry this May confirmed that the couple (who were married for 14 months) are well and truly still estranged, with her still not having spoken to him since he dropped the text bomb about wanting to split.
