Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been fending off rumors of a split for months, but now there might be photographic evidence that the celebrity couple is on the rocks. Here’s WFLD.

“The couple allegedly spent Christmas apart after having a huge yelling match. UsWeekly says it got so bad Katy Perry canceled plans to travel with her family to travel to Brand’s hometown of London for Christmas. Instead, she went to Hawaii with friends without wearing her wedding ring.”


And, indeed, UsWeekly has the photos to prove it.

There’s Perry in Hawaii, and Russell in London for Christmas -- both not wearing their rings.


27-year-old Perry and 36-year-old Brand got married in October 2010. As People magazine reports -- the two have been fighting off rumors of a split for some time.


“ … Brand … laughed off reports of problems earlier this month … telling Ellen DeGeneres, ‘I am really happily married.’”


But Celebrity Dirty Laundry says the Christmas apart speaks volumes -- despite the denials.


“ …  actions speak louder than words – and the couple’s decision to spend Christmas apart tells us to expect more news soon.”


And TooFab analyzes -- does the ring mean a thing?

“Though Brand has stepped out on the street without the band on a few times in the past, he's worn it to every single public event he's been to this year -- and, with all the tabloid talk, the ring's absence today may be telling.”
