The host of the show asked if that was around the time he was married to Perry, adding, “You had to live through so much that publicly.”
“That’s when I was the most in the public eye and working in America,” Brand responded. “Some aspects of it were, like, amazing, she’s an amazing person and it was kind of incredible to live for a moment in that eye of the cyclone type aspect of fame.”
Brand continued: “Aside from my, like, sort of feelings of affection for Katy, it’s a time that I remember as being a little bit chaotic and a bit, for me, I’ll speak for myself, but a little disconnected.”
The star is now married to author and illustrator Laura Gallacher – with the pair tying-the-knot in 2017 and later welcoming two children together. Katy has since found love with actor Orlando Bloom who she has dated since 2016, the pair have been engaged since Valentine’s Day 2019, and together they welcomed a daughter named Daisy in August 2020.
Russell said: “Some aspects of it were like amazing. She’s an amazing person, and it was kind of incredible to live for a moment in that eye of the cyclone-type aspect of fame.

Previously 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.’
Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s whirlwind romance and subsequent marriage at the time captured the attention of media and fans alike.
The enigmatic comedian and the pop sensation seemed like an unlikely pair, yet their union was marked by fiery chemistry and public displays of affection.
However, as quickly as their love story began, it ended in divorce just 14 months later. Despite the dissolution of their marriage, Brand’s positive reflection on his ex-wife Katy Perry as one of admiration and celebration” This stance raises questions about the depth of their relationship, the nature of growth and understanding in the aftermath of heartbreak, and what it signifies about a man who views his former spouse in such a positive light.
When a marriage comes to an end, especially one that played out in the spotlight as Brand and Perry’s did, emotions can run high and bitterness can often taint perceptions. It’s all too common for former partners to vilify each other or focus on the negatives of the relationship. However, Russell Brand has taken a different route by openly expressing his appreciation for Katy Perry. This speaks to a level of maturity and emotional intelligence that is not always associated with high-profile divorces.
Respect And Fondness
Describing someone as “amazing” after parting ways suggests a deep level of respect and fondness that has survived the strains of separation. It indicates that the positive aspects of their time together have not been overshadowed by any negativity that may have led to their divorce. Brand’s public acknowledgment of Perry’s amazing qualities can be seen as a testament to his ability to recognize and honor the genuine bond they once shared, even though their romantic connection no longer exists.
Furthermore, this perspective highlights the complexity of human relationships and the idea that a person can be multifaceted, with both strengths and weaknesses. It’s a reminder that even though a romantic relationship might end, the positive aspects of the person you once loved can still be cherished. Brand’s recognition of Perry’s amazingness demonstrates his ability to separate their shared history from any potential hurt feelings or resentment.
It is important to note that Brand’s reflection on his first marriage and Katy Perry might not just be about her as an individual, but also about their shared journey and the lessons learned. Relationships, especially those that end in separation, can also be powerful learning experiences. By acknowledging the positive aspects of their time together, Brand may be acknowledging the personal growth and insight that emerged from their relationship and its eventual end.
In Brand’s case, considering his ex-wife as amazing might also indicate his own growth and evolution as a person. Often, the ability to appreciate someone’s greatness, even after a breakup, reflects one’s own self-assuredness and emotional maturity. A man who can acknowledge and celebrate his ex-wife’s amazing qualities likely possesses a level of self-awareness that allows him to recognize his own contributions and limitations within the relationship.
Last year, Katy described the doomed marriage as a tonado characterized by friction, resistance, and challenges, though described Brand as a smart man.
She told Australian 60 Minutes in August 2020: ‘I was having great success at 23, 24 and 25 and then I met someone that was interesting and stimulating.
‘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 is now with new lover Orlando, both of whom have a baby daughter called Daisy Dove Bloom born into the world in August 2020.
Comedian Steven Bartlett announced the latest news on The Diary of a CEO podcast , who made the announcement on his behalf..
Stephen said: ‘You fell in love and you’ve got two children. You’ve got a third on the way, around the corner. That’s a very special love you have found.’
Reflecting on fatherhood, Brand said: ‘It taught me there is a lot more important in this world than me.
‘There’s a lot more important stuff in this world then what I want, think or reckon.
‘It taught me that love is real. It teaches you everything to become a father. All lessons are there.’
The TV star then became emotional and fought back tears as he spoke about a ‘future he won’t be a part of’, which Steven quizzed him on.
