They are having major issues, can't even stand being in the same room anymore

They have been plagued by reports of marriage trouble just hours after they tied the knot but, this time, things seem to be really glum for Katy Perry and Russell Brand. The two spent Christmas miles apart.

The other day, word got out in the press that the two spent the holiday on different sides of the pond, even though it's that time of the year when you put everything else on hold to be with your family and loved ones.

Photos actually put Katy on the beach in Hawaii with friends and Russell in Cornwall, in a pub, also with friends.

Us Weekly claims the decision to spend Christmas apart came after a massive fight. It was just one of many but, at the same time, confirmation that things have taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks.

One source says for the celebrity publication the two could not come to an understanding about Christmas, had a huge blowout and each stormed out and went their separate way.

“They had a massive fight. She was like, '[Expletive] you. I'm going to do my own thing.' Russell replied, 'Fine, [expletive] you too',” the insider explains.

Us claims that, at the beach in Hawaii later on, Katy was not wearing her wedding ring, which is a first for her.

The insider further claims that fighting between the two, who took the world by surprise when they got married in 2010 after a whirlwind courtship, is getting more violent.

“They haven't split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse. Katy doesn't think Russell respects her parents' Christian beliefs or her friends,” says the spy.

There is, of course, the chance that everything works out just fine, because both Katy and Russell are very spontaneous.

“The split may come soon, but they are both so dramatic and volatile, the relationship could become great again,” notes the insider.
