Russell Brand appeared on Friday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and dispelled all the divorce rumors swirling this week about his marriage to Katy Perry.

When Ellen asked Russell about those nasty break-up rumors, Russell at first joked, “What?!? [Katy] should have told me!”

Brand then got serious and said, “The whole Internet now like it’s a wicked little liar … being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away, and goes off, and lives on its own and does what it wants. … I wish it would do more interesting things.”

Brand then could not get any more clear: “I am really happily married. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge.”
