Jealousy and insecurity played a big role in Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s demise, but so did their differing priorities. As a source told Mirror, “Russell left his party lifestyle behind a long time ago because it nearly killed him.” When he got married, he reportedly wanted to start a family and spend much of his time at home, but Perry, whose career was just taking off, was on a different page. “When Katy had rare time off from her touring, all she wanted to do was go out partying in Hollywood,” the insider claimed.
It was yet another deja vu she would experience with Orlando Bloom who, in 2023, decided to get sober to better focus on his acting. Speaking with People that March, Perry said she hadn’t had a drink in five weeks because “I’ve been doing a pact with my partner.” Pretending to cry, she quipped, “I want to quit.”

While it was a joke, there may have been some truth to it, too. Given her experience with Brand, perhaps she didn’t love the idea of being pushed to do something by her partner, even if she later told People, “I wanted that opportunity to be supportive.” And while she later appeared to praise the pact, saying, “It was a great opportunity to just let my body bounce back a little bit,” she admitted she wasn’t sticking to it in the long run. “On the weekend I’ll indulge a little bit,” she told the mag.
