Katy Perry with Russell Brand

Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.

''Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," The 36-year-old comedian Brand said in a statement to TMZ. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

The Arthur star was spotted in London today without his wedding ring for the second day in a row.

His legal team filed court documents at the Superior Court in Los Angeles today citing 'irreconcilable differences.'

Perry and Brand tied the knot Oct. 23, 2010, in India in a lavish ceremony.

The divorce documents, which refer to Perry by her give name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, show there are 'community property assets,' suggesting there may not be a pre-nuptial agreement in place. 

It does not list a date of separation.

The pair sparked rumours of trouble after celebrating Christmas 7,000 miles apart - he spent the festive day in Cornwall while the Teenage Dream singer, 27, was with friends in Hawaii.

Perry, who is yet to comment on the split, was not wearing her wedding ring either when she was photographed frolicking in the surf on December 25.
