A US judge has finalised Katy Perry and Russell Brand's divorce after 14 months of marriage - although the pair will not legally split up until July.
Perry indicated in a Los Angeles court filing on Tuesday that she and Brand had reached a settlement of all issues in the case.
Superior Court Judge Marc Marmaro agreed to grant the couple's divorce, but it will not become official until July 14.
California law requires couples to wait six months after filing for divorce before it becomes official.
Brand filed for divorce on December 30. He and Perry have blamed "irreconcilable differences" for their split.
The former couple did not indicate in court filings when they separated.
The British comedian and the pop star were married in October 2010 at a resort inside a tiger reserve in India.
US Weekly reported last month that Brand has already found someone special.
“[Russell] told her he wanted her to move in with him after the divorce is final,” a source told the publication.
But Katy is said to be upset that Russell has moved on so quickly and is hurt by the allegations.
“She discovered through friends,” the insider added. “[A] woman told a friend of hers, and it got back to Katy. It’s gotten ugly. Katy doubts she’ll ever be able to trust a guy again.”
Although Katy has remained largely tight-lipped about the split she did post a message on her Twitter page to her followers.
“I am so grateful for all the love and support I’ve had from people around the world,” she wrote. “You guys have made my heart happy again.”
