Singer Katy Perry is being supported by fellow popstar Rihanna following the breakdown of her marriage.
The Firework hitmaker – who spent the festive period in Hawaii with friends – has shared a number of heart-to-heart phone calls with her pal as she deals with her split from British comic Russell Brand after 14 months of marriage and the Umbrella singer has been a “great support” in helping her cope.
“Katy is hardly speaking to anyone right now, but she called Rihanna as soon as she heard Russell was filing for divorce.” A source says.
“Katy was embarrassed about calling her parents as they’d been so against Russell in the first place, but Rihanna was a great support for her and she really helped to calm her down.”
Rihanna is now said to be planning a holiday to Mexico with Katy to help her get over Russell.
“Rihanna has been there for Katy, texting her from oiami where she’s on holiday. Now they are planning a girlie getaway so Katy can clear her head.” The source continued.
While Russell – who is rumoured to be moving back to the UK following the split from Katy – is entitled to half of the singer’s estimated $90 million fortune under Californian law, the pair have vowed to part as “friends” and want the split to remain amicable.
