Katy Perry is set to file for divorce from husband Russell Brand, it has been reported.

Online reports have been circulating today (November 30) that the pair are heading for a divorce following months of speculation.

Neither party has denied or confirmed reports at present. Russell Brand's UK press team decided not to comment on the current situation, reports OK magazine.

Perry recently admitted that she was keen to start a family one day, but for the moment was happy being young and having fun: 'I would love to have children. That's one of the reasons you get married,' she told The Insider.

'[But] I still love drinking alcohol so not yet.'

The couple, who met back in 2009, tied the knot at the Aman-e-Khas luxury resort near the Ranthambhore.

Perry and Brand began dating shortly after the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2009, which the comedian hosted.
