Russell Brand has filed for divorce from his wife Katy Perry after just over a year of marriage.

The 36-yr-old British comedian cited ”irreconcilable differences,” in papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court today, Dec 30.

“Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends,” he said in a statement.

Although no other detail were provided in the documents, Russell is asking that each party pay their own attorney fees and that their property rights be determined.

The couple met at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2009 and got married in October 2010 in a lavish six-day ceremony in India.
