However, her former beau is still following his wife on his Twitter page, listing @katyperry among 78 people.But the British comic last tweeted on January 5.

The couple have a flirty history on Twitter, with Brand infamously posting a picture of his wife sporting no make-up on the social networking site. 

According to Us Weekly, Perry's move to remove Brand from her Twitter is 'unsurprising' as the singer is only communicating with the 26-year-old via phone or email.

She's limiting those interactions,' a source told the magazine. 'He's being so atrocious that she feels like she never really knew him.'

The source added: 'She doesn't want to look battered and have people for sorry for her.'She's very strong and confident.'

Perry had been largely absent from her Twitter page following Brand filing for divorce last month, but has enthusiastically been back, tweeting about the final date of her California Dreams tour in Indonesia this weekend.

The star performed in Jakarta on Thursday night, concentrating on her work rather than publicly discussing her marriage woes. She appeared not to have a care in the world, performing on stage with gusto and even flirting with a male fan.

She will never forgive him. Ever.’

Last week the singer posted a message on her Twitter page saying that ‘no one’ speaks for her.

The I Kissed a Girl chart topper flew to Indonesia on January 16, three days after Russell jetted into Los Angeles from the UK.

She was also recently spotted putting a brave face on her troubles, filming an Adidas advertisement in Santa Barbara.

She had largely been quiet since the break-up, even avoiding turning up to the People's Choice Awards last week.Meanwhile Russell has said that he was doing 'quite well' since the couple's high-profile split.

The comic, 36, spoke last week during a question and answer session in Pasadena, California, where he was promoting his new show Strangely Uplifting

During the press conference, he made reference to the headline-making December 30 split from his wife.'I'm quite well, thank you. Are you asking because of recent events?' he said.

'Well, I suppose what you're doing is you're making the mistake as seeing time as linear.'
Perry said last year that her husband inspired many of the tracks on her Teenage Dream album.

She said: ‘I finished it with him in mind knowing that it is like the movies.‘He’s in films and stuff so it made sense.Sometimes you’re in a situation where it feels like this is the best you can get.‘I really do believe in true love and you should really find it.

'The end': Is it all over for Hollywood's golden couple Heidi and Seal after singer's cryptic Tweet

Their union was believed to be one of the strongest in showbusiness – reinforced by regular public declarations of love and an annual ceremony to renew their wedding vows.But last night it was reported Heidi Klum’s seven-year marriage to British singer Seal is over – with the model preparing to file for divorce within days.

Is it over? Heidi Klum and Seal are to file for divorce after six years of marriage, according to reports
German-born Heidi, 38, is expected to file papers at Los Angeles’ County Superior Court this week citing irreconcilable differences between the pair who married at Seal’s beachfront home in Mexico in 2005.

The reasons behind the sudden split remained unclear but a spokesman for the former Victoria’s Secret model yesterday said a statement was being prepared which would be released imminently.

A spokesman for Seal, 48 – real name Seal Henry Samuel – did not return calls but a cryptic message posted on the singer’s Twitter page on Friday read: ‘The End.’ The message was attached to a picture that appeared to show the star’s forearm bearing an imprint of a set of wings – a possible reference to Miss Klum’s role as a Victoria’s Secret winged ‘Angel’ model.

All over? Seal has left cryptic Twitter messages on his homepage

The split paves the way for a multi-million-pound divorce battle between the golden couple. They have three children together – Henry, six, Johan, five, and Lou, two – as well as Miss Klum’s daughter Leni, seven, from a previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.Miss Klum, one of the world’s most in-demand models, is reported to have earned more than £12 million in the past year alone.

Seal, who is best known for his Kiss From A Rose single, has sold more than 20 million albums and won three Brit Awards and three Grammys in a career spanning 20 years. The couple own a home in Mexico and an £8.4 million mansion in Los Angeles. Yesterday there was no sign of them at the LA house, which is set in an exclusive gated community in Mandeville Canyon, in the Hollywood Hills.

Happy: The couple were last seen together on December 27, with Heidi tweeting this picture of them on holiday in Aspen, Colorado

Happy families: The couple have four children, Leni, seven, Henry, six, Johan, five and Lou, two

Their neighbours include Hollywood actor Ben Affleck and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.A guard at the house said: ‘They’re not saying anything.’ Asked if the couple were inside the property, he replied: ‘I think so. I’ve seen him.’

On Wednesday, Seal was in London to pre-record a performance of his new single Backstabbers for Jonathan Ross’s ITV chat show, which was broadcast last night. Miss Klum was alone as she attended the Golden Globes awards in Hollywood last Sunday.News of the split comes just weeks after the couple posed, apparently happily, for a photo on a skiing holiday in Colorado.

Going solo: Seal was seen arriving at LAX on Saturday, while Heidi was last seen at the Golden Globes yesterday, which she attended alone

So in love: The couple are known for renewing their vows in lavish ceremonies - seen doing so in Malibu in 2009

On December 26 Miss Klum posted a picture on Twitter of the couple on the slopes in Aspen with the caption, ‘Sun and Snow and @Seal’. Miss Klum divorced her first husband, stylist Ric Pipino after five years together in 2002 and met Seal a year later in 2003.

At the time she had just split from Formula 1 billionaire Briatore. After marrying in 2005, Seal and Klum kept their promise to renew their vows every year on their anniversary with their close friends and family.
