Katy Perry tells Vogue marriage to Russell Brand ended via text

Katy Perry reveals intimate details about her marriage to Russell Brand and her relationship with John Mayer, in a new Vogue cover story – her first for the fashion magazine.

In the interview, she said Brand was “a magical man,” but that her perception of him changed during their 14-month marriage.

“At first when I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, ‘I can’t handle the equalness,'” she told the magazine.

She said the last communication she had from Brand was a text message on Dec. 31, 2011, telling her that he was filing for divorce.

Following her split, Perry went on to date Mayer, whom she described as having a “beautiful mind” and “tortured soul.”  They broke up in late spring.

The interview can be found in the July issue of Vogue, and features a spread of Perry photos taken by Annie Leibovitz.
