Katy Perry’s hard partying ways ‘led to split with Russell Brand’

London: Russell Brand reportedly decided to end his just over an year marriage to pop star wife Katy Perry because of her hard partying ways.

The 27-year-old’s friends noticed that her hubby Brand seemed to chip away at the scale of her achievements during their 14-month marriage, the Daily Mail reported. Even if the 36-year-old had to turn up to support her at an awards ceremony, he would leave before the celebrations got going at the after-party – and then fetch her, sullenly and soberly, at its conclusion. He never approved of her friends such as the fun-loving singer Rihanna. The recovered drug and sex addict disapproved strongly of her parties – such as a long day-into-night party in Rio earlier this year, and wanted her to tone down her lifestyle. Due to her California Dreams tour they spent virtually no time together after marriage. At the onset of winters, both claimed that they were looking forward to spending more time together, but whenever they managed to snatch a few days it only highlighted the fact that they had married without actually deciding on the nitty-gritty of how their marriage was going to work. In the end there was a final major tiff that the couple faced about Christmas plans which apparently persuaded both that there was no way to rescue a marriage in which they had spent far more time apart than together.
