RUSSELL Brand has spoken out about his past heartbreaks just hours after it was revealed ex-wife Katy Perry is expecting a baby with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
The British comedian opened up about his relationships in a video on Instagram, captioned: “Healing From A Broken Heart”.
In the video – titled ‘How I Got Over Heartbreak’ - Russell admits he’s experienced heartbreak “most of his life”.
He said: “Now I’m in my 40s so I can look back at heartbreak when I was 15, heartbreak when I was 12, heartbreak when I was 11, heartbreak in my 20s and 30s.
"You know sort of right into like until when I got married. Just getting my heart broken again and again.”
Russell went on to explain why he thought past relationships hadn’t worked out.
He said: “I reckon in my case it was because I like to be in the outside. I’m by default [going to turn] to drug addiction and alcoholism. I’m not good at sitting with myself.”
Russell was married to Katy from 2010 to 2012. Sources claimed the split was down to the pair’s busy work schedules. Russell went on to marry Laura Gallacher and the couple share two daughters.
Katy announced her pregnancy earlier this week in her music video for ‘Never Worn White’.
She later told fans: “We’re excited and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep. I like to tell you guys everything, but I knew I would tell you in the best way, which was through a piece of music because that’s how I speak to you. That’s how we speak together with each other.”
