The insider also suggested that Katy Perry and her representatives have been in discussions about a potential streaming project, with Netflix and Hulu among the platforms mentioned.

What Katy Perry has previously said about her marriage to Russell Brand?

Katy Perry and Russell Brand first met in 2009 and married in October 2010 in a private ceremony in India. Their relationship, however, came to an abrupt end the following year when Brand reportedly informed the singer that he wanted a divorce through a text message in December 2011.

The singer subsequently offered glimpses into the difficulties she experienced during the marriage. In a 2013 interview with Vogue, Perry described the relationship as controlling and emotionally difficult. She also spoke about feeling responsible for the breakdown of the marriage at the time, before suggesting that there were aspects of their relationship she had not publicly disclosed.

Her comments have resurfaced amid renewed interest in the couple's relationship following Brand's conviction. Perry, however, has largely refrained from discussing their marriage publicly in recent years.
