Russell Brand won't take any of Katy Perry's money, as he 'pledges to keep divorce as amicable as possible'



Russell Brand doesn't want any of estranged wife Katy Perry's money, it has been claimed



The British comedian - who filed for divorce in December after just 14 months of marriage - didn't sign a pre-nuptial agreement when he wed the Firework singer so is legally entitled to half her $44million fortune.



However, Russell has apparently told Katy he doesn't want anything from her and wants their split to be as amicable as possible.

According to TMZ.com, their divorce will become official on June 30 because there is a six-month waiting period.



It was recently reported Russell - who was famed for his womanising ways before he met Katy - had started dating again and was seeing more than one woman.



Sources said Katy had been told that her estranged husband - who has previously been treated for sex addiction and substance abuse issues - had moved on from their marriage by her pals.

It has also been claimed that Russell has set his sights on New Girl star Zooey Deschanel, who bears a striking resemblance to his estranged wife.

A source told America's OK! magazine: 'Russell has had his eye on Zooey for a long time. And he's been sending funny, flirty texts to see if they can get together.
