Well, that didn’t last long. Just weeks after trying her hand at romance for the first time following her divorce from Russell Brand, Katy Perry has reportedly decided Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd isn’t worth immediately settling down with. Obviously, that seems like a pretty mature decision given the paperwork to end her marriage hasn’t even been approved yet, but it’s still worth pointing out since far bigger celebrities have moved on far quicker with far stranger options.
According to US Weekly, Perry was reportedly the one who initiated the split, but given the short time they were together, it seems unlikely there will be any long term hard feelings. She’s a busy pop star with engagements a plenty, and his band is certainly doing pretty well for itself too.
Perhaps the most interesting tidbit to the Perry/ Brand divorce has been the altered mindsets each has seemingly taken. Last week, the comedian told Ellen DeGeneres he didn’t regret the time he spent married to Perry. In the singer’s new song however, she croons, “I wish I knew then what I know now. I wouldn’t dive in, I wouldn’t bow down.”
Neither of those approaches is inherently wrong. It’s just fascinating that two people who decided to marry each other could see the time they spent together so much differently. Maybe that's evidence of why it didn't work out.
