Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry ... TMZ has learned.
In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand cites "irreconcilable differences." The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India. They have no kids.
The divorce docs say there are "community property assets" -- it's a sign there might not be a prenup, or if there is one it doesn't cover all of the earnings and other assets they accumulated.
The docs do not give a date the couple separated.
Russell has released a statement, claiming, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."
Russell proposed to Katy in India on New Year's Eve 2009 -- nearly two years ago ... to the day.
The couple's split comes just four weeks after Brand declared his relationship was going strong.
He told Ellen DeGeneres on December 2: 'I'm really happily married. I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.'
In November, Perry told the same TV host that that she 'would love to have children' with Brand.
She said: 'I think that's one of the reasons you get married, especially to the person that you marry. You think: "That person is going to be a good partner, a good parent.'''
Asked if she wanted a big family, Perry added: 'If it doesn't hurt the first time I'll keep popping them out.'
But there was clearly trouble brewing when the pair decided to spend Christmas apart, allegedly after a huge row.
A source was quoted as telling Us Weekly magazine: 'They had a massive fight. She was like, "F*** you. I'm going to do my own thing."
Meanwhile the insider said that Russell replied: 'Fine, f*** you too.'
The couple had planned Christmas together and Perry was expected to jet her family in a private plane over to the UK to celebrate.
In November, Brand's mother Barbara had tweeted she was looking forward to spending the festive season with her son and daughter-in-law.
She wrote on Twitter: 'Spoke to Russell and Katy, they are so happy, it's lovely. We will all be together for Christmas.'
The California-born star began dating the British comedian in 2009 after she famously threw a bottle at his head at an MTV Music Awards party.
He proposed just four months later on New Year's Eve and they were married in October last year.
