In a candid conversation with Chelsea Handler for the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, Katy Perry talked about her past marriage to Brand, which ended in 2012 after 14 months. “It feels like a lifetime ago, like unearthing an old tomb. I’ve had a lot of therapy, growth, and understanding since then,” she shared. Reflecting on the experience, Katy mentioned, “Sometimes you have to go through tough times to understand where you stand in life and set new boundaries in your relationships.” She added, “You have to go through challenges to reach a place of peace. Ultimately, I needed to find someone who is more of a partner in life.”
