Russell Brand has claimed he ‘really tried’ to salvage his 14-moth marriage to ex-wife Katy Perry before their split in late 2011. 

The British comedian, 45, was married to the pop star, 36, for just over one year after tying the knot in India in 2010, with the former couple’s divorce being finalised in 2012.

Russell is now remarried to wife Laura, 33, and the couple have two daughters, while Katy has a baby daughter named Daisy, six months, with actor fiancé Orlando Bloom, 44. 

Answering questions from the public on TikTok this week, Russell was asked about his first marriage and insisted he has ‘nothing but positive feelings for her [Katy]’.

‘I really tried in that relationship,’ he admitted, adding: ‘I have nothing but positive feelings for her.’

He also gave mental health tips during a meditation session.

With 13k users tuned in he ran through his mindfulness technique and chatted with fans about their own mental health challenges.

Russell was speaking as part of a new week-long series of #LearnOnTikTok LIVEs fronted by some of the TikTok’s biggest creators and celebrities to boost the nation’s lockdown learning.

Josh, in Blackpool, shared his own PTSD mental health struggles with Russell, who gave some tips for tackling mental health during lockdown.

He highlighted that access to support is easier than ever now, as many services can be done online, reminding Josh that he is ‘not alone in how you’re feeling’.

Russell highlighted that experiences like Josh’s are the reason he came to TikTok to meditate, which will help us all show the self-compassion and kindness we need to ourselves.

For Russell, the aim of meditation is to find a place of calm, where you can address the thoughts and feelings in your life that trouble you.

Last year, Katy gave her own thoughts on her ill-fated marriage to Russell, admitting the mix of success and love at such a young age was ‘like a tornado’.

Speaking in an interview on Australian 60 Minutes in August 2020, Katy said: ‘I was having great success at 23, 24 and 25 and then I met someone that was interesting and stimulating. 

‘It was just like a tornado, it was everything happening at once.’

Katy acknowledged that the marriage was not easy as she said she ‘always resonated with friction and resistance and challenges’. 

‘He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him,’ Katy previously told Vogue magazine.

‘Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.’

Katy was first linked to fiancé Orlando when they were seen flirting at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2016, and went public with their relationship a few months later in May at the Cannes Film Festival. 

The couple parted ways just over a year later in March 2017, but the split wasn’t to last and they got back together later that year.

The actor proposed to his long-term love on Valentine’s Day in 2019 when he popped the question with a $5 million flower-shaped ring in front of Katy’s entire family.

Katy and Orlando announced they were expecting their first child together last year, and welcomed baby daughter Daisy Dove Bloom into the world in August 2020. 

Russell has two daughters, Mabel, four, and Peggy, two, with wife Laura, who he has known for 14 years. 

The radio presenter proposed in July 2016, and the couple tied the knot in August 2017.
