Rusell Brand and Katy Perry's Holy Divorce

What a holy mess.

Katy Perry reportedly asked Russell Brand to file for divorce so she could avoid upsetting her religious parents.

The "Firework" singer didn't want to disappoint her evangelical minister parents by being the one to end her 14-month marriage, TMZ.com reported on Saturday, December 31, 2011.

Brand, 36, and Perry, 27, agreed to call it quits weeks ago, according to the gossip website. They had known the relationship was tanking for months, but wanted to try to make things work out before officially parting ways.
Brand filed the divorce papers Friday in Los Angeles.

"I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends," Brand said in a statement.

Perry’s parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, were notoriously strict while she was growing up. “I didn’t have a childhood,” the singer told Vanity Fair earlier this year, adding their relationship has become more relaxed with time. “I don’t try to change them anymore, and they don’t try to change me.”

It took the Hudsons some time to accept Brand, a former heroin addict who once admitted to having a sex addiction.

“Russell must go towards the light and not towards the darkness,” Mary Hudson told the UK’S Sun newspaper in 2009, after her first meeting with the comedian. “Only God can take the very worst person and turn them around for good.”
