Katy Perry and Russell Brand “had a massive fight” before spending Christmas apart

Katy Perry and Russell Brand marriage was called into question when they decided to spend Christmas 7,000 miles apart.

According to some reports, it has been suggested the couple’s separation over the festive period was because of a huge argument.

Us Weekly reports that a source close to the couple said: “They had a massive fight. She was like, <<F*** you. I’m going to do my own thing.>>”

The source also said that Russell Brand replied: “Fine, f*** you too.”

“They haven’t split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse.”

Katy Perry, 27, was seen lapping up the fine weather in Hawaii with a group of friends while comedian Russell Brand was seen in a pub in Cornwall, England.

The couple were said to have planned Christmas together with reports Katy Perry was going to jet her family in a private plane over to the UK to celebrate together.

But while they are said to have had a big row, which saw then spend Christmas apart, there is little explanation of the nature of the “disagreement”.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand, who married in October last year after a whirlwind romance, have gone out of their way lately to quash speculation that their marriage is on shaky ground.

That good work however may be undone by the fact Katy Perry wasn’t wearing her wedding ring as she frolicked in the sea with friends.

Katy Perry has previously used Twitter to dismiss marriage rumors. She tweeted: “Just cause we don’t flaunt our relationship doesn’t mean there’s something wrong w/it. Privacy is our luxury.”

Russell Brand reportedly spent his Christmas in a Cornwall pub before joining his friend David Baddiel’s charity swim.

In November, Russell Brand’s mother Barbara had tweeted she was looking forward to spending the festive season with her son and daughter-in-law.

Barbara Brand wrote on Twitter: “Spoke to Russell and Katy, they are so happy, it’s lovely. We will all be together for Christmas.”

Apparently, Russell Brand had also arranged for his mother and father in law, Keith and Mary Hudson, to fly into the UK on December 18th so they could all spend the holidays together.

Both The Sun and People magazine reported that Russell Brand and Katy Perry have rented properties in the respective beauty spots for the festivities.

And while People quotes a source that places Russell Brand in Kauai, it points out that he was never pictured on the beach with his wife.

The British actor was also spotted at Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park last Tuesday without his wife.

Russell Brand addressed the recent speculation that his one-year marriage has hit a rough patch on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this month.

When told about the frenzied split speculation, Russell Brand jokingly replied: “What?! She should have told me!”

And added: “I’ve treated the whole internet now as a wicked little liar. I am really happily married.

“Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on its own and does what it wants.

“I wish it would do more interesting things.

“I don’t know what is doing, but I’m married to Katy.

“Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”

When asked about starting a family, Russell Brand said he would like to have children with Katy Perry.

“I would like one. I love those little babies in the beginning,” he said.

Until then, the couple are content with being godparents to twin boys.

“I’m just observing them like I’m a scientist,” Russell Brand said of his godchildren.

“So I can learn from them. Me and Katy are their godparents, which means we’re responsible for their spiritual growth. Should be interesting…”
