Date of birth: June 4, 1975

Katy Perry became popular after release of the song “I Kissed A Girl”. But in her real life the singer kisses just boys, and all her boys are handsome and famous. The actress had a short romance with a musician John Mayer, dated DJ Diplo and had a fling with Jared Leto. But most of her love affairs are short and not serious. The exclusion was her relationship to Russell Brand. He was the only man, whom eccentric Katy got married.

Russell Edward Brand is one of the most contradictory British comedians. Incredibly talented, he was known as a person, who can do any unexpected stunts. Thus, he made obscene comments during a radio show and later, when he was a host at MTV, dressed as Osama Bin Laden. Of course, such an exotic man immediately captured heart of young Katy, when she met him.

Before crossing his ways with a popular pop princess, Russell was a cute English boy. He grew up in Thurrock, Essex in the family of a photographer Ronald Brand and a secretary Barbara Nichols. His parents separated, when Brand was still a baby. His mother soon married another man.

Russell’s childhood can’t be called “happy”. He suffered, when his mother was diagnosed with cancer (then the boy was just 8). Then he couldn’t find a common language with his mother’s new partner. Barbara liked her only son, and she was ready for everything to make him happy. But her cancer problems and new lover prevented her from spending high-quality time with Russell. Thus, the boy stayed with various relatives. From time to time he visited his father, who behaved with his teen son in a very strange way. For example, once he took young Brand to the Far East to enlarge his sexual experience. Ronald hired prostitutes not just for himself, but also for his son.

During his years at school Russell often made people laugh. His teacher and classmates considered him as an easy-going funny boy, while deep in his soul Brand was crying, not laughing. In his teens he tried his hand as an actor for the first time – acted in a school performance “Bugsy Malone”. Comedy made the boy happier, but not for long. Unlike acting, heroine brought him more comfort. Gradually, he became drug addicted.

In early 1990s Katy Perry ex-husband understood, that he wanted to be an actor. He studied this art professionally at Italia Conti Academy. But he was caught, being on drugs, and had to leave.

In late 1990s and early 2000s Russell became quite popular as a stand-up comedian. He participated in NATYS, a famous comedy contest and occupied the fourth position. The vivid interesting stand up comic was noticed by rich managers and producers.

Firstly he performed with his friends Mark Felgate and Shappi Khorsandi as a part of the trio. Later he decided to perform solo. In 2006 the standup comedian started his first tour “Shame”.

After that he arranged many other international tours, and each time the tickets for them were sold like hot pies. He even performed in front of the royal family.

Alongside career of a standup comedian, Russell developed his skills of an actor. He became popular not just in Great Britain, but also in USA and worldwide as Aldous Snow from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. Among his other popular screen works there are films “The Tempest” and “Army of One”. In addition he voiced Dr. Nefario in “Despicable Me”.

Russell Brand used to be drug addicted, but he managed to cope with this problem and he stays sober since 2002.

He was madly in love with Katy Perry and married her in 2010. But they both were very busy and as Brand told later, he was a hard person to deal with. Their marriage ended in 2012.

Nowadays Russell Brand is married to a blogger Laura Gallacher. They have 1-year-old daughter Mabel.

During many years after her split to Russell, Katy Perry was silent. But later she shared her thoughts on their relationships. She met her loved one at the set of “Get Him to the Greek”, where Russell played one of the lead roles, and Kate was planned to make a cameo appearance, which later was cancelled. They started dating, and according to Katy’s words, she really fell in love with her man. They wedded in India in October 23, 2010. The couple paid for their friends’ trip to that country to share that moment with them. Brand and Perry’s guests enjoyed the beautiful ceremony and tasted a vegan wedding cake. But a year later Russell sent his wife a message, where he asked her for divorce. Thus, their love story ended.

But Katy moved forward and met another man.

Date of birth: June 13, 1947

Mostly known as Keith Hudson, Katy Perry’s father is a preacher and occasional actor.

He was born in the family of Robert and Ann Hudson. Since the earliest years he understood his mission – to expose spiritual lethargy. He began to preach at a very young age. Keith met his soul mate – Kate Hudson’s mother – at Pat and Buddy Harrison conference in late 1970s. They wedded on December 2, 1979 and since then join family life with their religious mission.

Keith and his wife Mary spent many years, crossing the territory of United States on a car and preaching. Finally, they settled in Santa Barbara and opened the Christian Oasis Center. The couple gave a birth to three kids, including a celebrity Katy Perry.

Mr. Hudson doesn’t look like a typical pastor. He shaves his head, wears cowboy boots and leather jackets. According to Keith words, he wants to show, that typical look of a pastor has already become obsolete. He authored a number of books on spiritual topics.

They say Katy is close with her father. Nevertheless, it’s hard for him to accept his famous daughter’s looks and songs sometimes. Together with other members of Hudson family, Keith tried his forces as an occasional actor and participated in a number of documentary films about his daughter, such as “Katy Perry: Part of Me”.

One of her siblings, Frank Joseph Perry, Jr, was a celebrated film-director. Probably, Katy inherited his genes and his love to show business.

When Katy decided to become a singer, she took her mother’s maiden name. The young entertainer didn’t want to be mixed with a famous actress Kate Hudson, Kurt Russell stepdaughter.

Before turning her face to preaching, Mary was a news director at a radio station. But she forgot about that job after meeting her husband. Mary authored a book “Smart Bombs”.

Of course, she spent a lot of time with her kids. Except for Kate, Mary has a daughter Angela and a son David.
