That's a wrap: Russell Brand seen arriving at a yoga class in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the day he filed final divorce papers to end his marriage to Katy Perry


Katy Perry and Russell Brand have signed on the dotted line to finalise their divorce.

The pair have agreed to split their assets, and her husband of 14 months has waived any claim to the chart-topping singers £28million ($44million) fortune.

But despite the sad circumstances, in court papers which emerged yesterday detailing the end of their marriage, the quirky pop singer signed the legal documents off with an upbeat 'smiley face.'


According to Forbes magazine Brand is worth a relatively small £4million in comparison to the Firework singer's £28 million fortune.

The couple who married in October 2010 didn't sign a pre-nup, and as a result, in the state of California everything they earned during their 14-month marriage is deemed community property - which means their each entitled to 50 per pent each.

However with Katy making a huge $44 million between May, 2010 and May, 2011 - according to Forbes magazine, Russell stood to gain considerably more.

According to the papers filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Perry has gone back to her maiden name of Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson once.

In addition to keeping her money and her identity, the agreement also covers distribution of their property.

Perry's papers say, and she asks that the court not be involved in awarding spousal support to Brand.

In the paperwork filed by Brand, 36, he ticked a box saying that both parties 'agree this cause may be decided as an uncontested matter' and says they have waived their rights to a trial.

'I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends,' he said in a statement.

Then added: 'What a twerp.'
