Katy Perry calls her relationship with Russell Brand a 'tornado'
Katy Perry has been reflecting on her whirlwind relationship with ex-husband Russell Brand.
It's been a busy few weeks for the singer, who welcomed daughter Daisy Dove last week before releasing her new 'Smile' album just a few days later. Appearing on 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday to promote the record, the new mum opened up about her 14-month marriage to the comedian, which came to an abrupt end in 2011.
"It was the first kind of breaking of my idealistic mind," said Katy. "I was having great success at 23, 24 and 25 and then I met someone that was interesting and stimulating. It was just like a tornado, it was everything happening at once. "But I’ve always really resonated with friction and resistance and challenges."

The new mum previously revealed that Russell broke things off via a text message, telling Vogue in 2013: "He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011."
Meanwhile, in the same interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Katy also opened up about her relationship with Orlando Bloom, describing it as "healthy frictional, very open, very communicative, nothing is swept under the mat type of relationship."
The couple broke the news of their daughter's birth on Thursday 27th August, teaming up with UNICEF to make the announcement via an article titled 'The most precious gift: A healthy child.' They welcomed their healthy baby girl, Daisy Dove Bloom, on August 26.

A picture of the couple holding Daisy's tiny hand was uploaded to the UNICEF Instagram page, and captioned: "Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s new bundle of joy."
Katy and Orlando told UNICEF, "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter."
