Pop star Katy Perry has blamed the pressure to have children as a significant factor in her divorce from British comedian Russell Brand.
The 'Roar' hitmaker wed the funnyman in 2010 and Perry reveals Brand was eager to start a family even though she made it clear that she wasn't emotionally ready to become a mother.
"I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, if I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice - I'd have to be at home more. I really wanted to have children, but I knew I wasn't ready for it. It wasn't like, 'Hey, let's have a kid because we're in love'," Perry told Marie Claire magazine.
The couple split in December, 2011, and Perry has since moved on to date rocker John Mayer. She insists motherhood still isn't on the cards for her anytime soon.
"I'm definitely not there yet, and I can't plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I'll just want to be mum for a little bit.
