63.Katy Perry and Russell Brand

In their respective careers, Katy Perry and Russell Brand both earned degrees of success. The singer rose to fame in the music industry for her singles I Kissed a Girl and Firework, while Brand established himself as a stand-up comedian. After several flirtatious encounters during the 2009 VMA rehearsals, the two started dating and fell in love almost instantly.

Brand went from being Perry’s first husband to ex-husband in a matter of months. He called it quits on the relationship. In fact, it only took one text message to tell the Roar singer that he was divorcing her after fourteen months of marriage. According to reports, they were drifting apart just before the breakup and didn’t even spend Christmas together. It was unexpected; the couple who were so confident of each other called it quits. The comedian claims that his former wife’s popularity and demanding work schedule pushed him away.
