Katy Perry: I Wasn't Ready to Have Children with Russell Brand
Katy Perry shows some skin on the cover of Marie Claires January 2014 issue, on newsstands December 17.
Here is what the 29-year-old singer had to share with the mag:
On having kids: Im definitely not there yet, and I cant plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, Ill just want to be Mom for a little bit.[Brand] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasnt ready 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 Id have to be home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasnt ready for it. It wasnt like, Hey, lets have a kid because were in love.
On her on-and-off relationship with boyfriend John Mayer: I took a break from my boyfriend, not one that I wanted. It was like a splash of cold water to search inward on what was going on with me. That is what let me to this new awakening, this realizing, If I dont do some self-love, Im not going to be able to keep the love that I want. I still needed to deal with all of my ex-husband stuff. I hadnt. Its almost like if I kept talking about it, it would seem like I actually cared about it. I dont.
On the dark hours following her split from ex-husband Russell Brand: There were two weeks of my life after I found out the truth of my marriage where I was like, OK. All right. I cant feel this. This is too intense right now. I was, like, just eating Flamin Hot Cheetos and drinking, and thats it.
