It is reported that Brand would like to have a baby with Katy Perry. Brand is a former heroin addict and he made it no secret about his likeness of children. In an episode in "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last month, Brand said that he would like to have one baby as he like little children.

Similar with Brand's statement, Perry said that he would also like to have children with Brand. However, her constant partying and refusal to settle down in the household are some of the causes of the meltdown of their marriage. The source of the Sunday Mirror said that Perry does not want to be the typical Hollywood housewife.

The "Teenage Dream" pop sensation married the comedian last October 23, 2010. However, rumors of divorce and separation have been swirling for the past six months. Speculations were strengthened when Katy Perry and Russell Brand were seen without their wedding rings.

The two spent very little time together because of their hectic work schedule. By October 2011, there were already rumors of the pair splitting up, which the couple vehemently confirmed or denied. The rumor heightened when the couple spent the holidays separately. Perry was seen enjoying the beach in Hawaii and Brand spent the holidays in hometown England. Neither of them wore their wedding rings.

A week before Christmas, Perry give back her ring to Brand after a big argument and the latter saw it as the final straw. Russell Brand filed for divorce last Friday in Los Angeles citing "irreconcilable differences" as cause. "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," he said in a statement. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

TMZ reported that Katy asked Russell to file for divorce as the singer does not want to upset her parents who are Christian pastors.
