Russell Brand Photographed Without Wedding Ring

Russell Brand and Katy Perry spend Christmas 7,000 miles apart, which, in itself, would have been enough to send divorce rumors swirling. Now, he's also been photographed without his wedding ring, which has only added more fuel to the fire.

As we also informed you yesterday, it's been confirmed that the two were not together for the holiday. Also confirmed is that they weren't away on business, since both were snapped partying with friends.

Reports online claim they had a massive fight right before Christmas, which is why they decided to make a point by not spending it together.

As reps for the two remain mum on the topic of a possible separation, a new set of pictures is only adding more fuel to the fire.

Katy is still in Hawaii with friends, while Russell is at home in the UK. He's just been photographed out and about – and he's not wearing his wedding ring, as the photo attached to this article will confirm.

As the Daily Mail also underlines, this further substantiates claims of trouble in paradise for the two.

“Russell Brand stepped out without his wedding ring today amid rumors of marriage trouble. The comedian, 36, was spotted on a solo shopping trip in London after spending Christmas 7,000 miles apart from his wife Katy Perry,” the British publication says.

“He happily soaked up the love from fans during his outing and even posed up for a photograph with a delighted blonde shopper,” adds the tab.

Paparazzi tailing him got several clear shots of his hand and there's no denying it: he's not wearing his diamond wedding band. Neither was Katy in Hawaii and it would be too much of a coincidence if there was nothing to it.

“Katy was not wearing her ring either while holidaying in Hawaii over the festive season. The couple decided to spend Christmas apart after huge argument, it has been claimed,” says the Mail.

Unnamed sources are telling the tabs that the explosive marriage has reached a dead end. Katy and Russell have not broken up yet, but they might announce the split any day now, they argue.
