14 DAY TRIAL // Their relationship was just as surprising as their decision to become engaged was, 4 months into the romance. Russell Brand and Katy Perry were married in October last year but, after only 3 months, they were already looking into couples therapy, it has emerged.
Life & Style claims to have it on very good authority that Russell and Katy are having some issues with their marriage, and are turning to a professional for help, PopEater reports.
That is not to say, of course, that they’re divorcing or anywhere near a separation: just that it would seem that making their relationship work requires more effort on their part than they expected.
Shortly after they were married in a fabulous ceremony in India, the two lovebirds realized that it was their very schedules that worked against them in terms of making the relationship go smoothly.
In almost no time, they were spending lots of time apart and seeing each other only for brief periods of time, claims the magazine.
“In January, just weeks before the launch of her worldwide California Dreams tour, an insider claims Katy ‘started asking friends to recommend a marriage counselor’,” PopEater writes, citing Life & Style.
She was always on tour and Russell was always on location, working on a new project, and this made it very impossible for them to act like a normal, newlywed couple.
“The magazine’s insider says when Russell was filming over the summer, ‘Katy was around all the time,’ but for the film’s recent reshoots, ‘she hasn’t been by’,” says PopEater.
“Still, despite living separate lives already, seeking couples therapy shows that the newlyweds are willing to work on making their marriage last,” the e-zine notes.
However, if their career are in the way of their relationship, Katy is more than willing to put hers on second place, as she told Elle magazine just recently.
Asked about whether she has any plans for a family, the pop star revealed she didn’t intend to “die on stage,” saying she wanted a family and the time to enjoy it.
