   Report claims Russell Brand and Katy Perry are already having some marital issues

Russell Brand and Katy Perry haven’t been married for that long, but they’re already forced to be spending time apart because of her ongoing international tour. This, together with some other things, are starting to take a toll on their marriage, it has emerged.

The latest print issue of InTouch Weekly (story via here) claims that Russell is not ok with Katy’s living her live as she did when she was a bachelorette while she’s on tour.

The former womanizer, hellraiser and addict is not happy about knowing that his wife parties, drinks alcohol and smokes when she’s not with him, and this is taking a toll on the marriage, says the celebrity mag.

Reformed Russell is living a “totally clean lifestyle,” the spy dishes. Katy, not so much – and it’s driving him mad.

“But Katy drinks and smokes when he’s not around. It’s a sore spot: He knows she has fun when she is able to do the things that she can’t so with him,” the insider explains.

To make matters even worse, the fact that they’re spending so much time apart is not helping solve these issues. On the contrary actually, says an unnamed but admittedly reliable source for the publication.

“Russell and Katy are just realizing now that they have to put in the work [to keep their marriage together],” the spy explains.

“Katy knows they can’t go weeks without seeing each other… it’s not healthy. So they’re making more of an effort to see each other – Katy has twice flown in to see him in between shows,” says the source.

Indeed, Katy was in London for the premiere of Russell’s latest film, “Arthur,” even if she didn’t pose on the red carpet with him.

Still, regardless of their good intentions, making their relationship work under these circumstances is proving to be much more work than they ever expected.

“The traveling is totally exhausting and it takes the fun out of seeing each other. They’re both so stressed out and tired and they hardly have time to be together even when she does fly in,” the insider argues.
