Katy Perry wants to return relationship with Russell Brand

The former couple ended their 14-month marriage in December when Russell filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" - but Katy, 27, has reportedly had a change of heart.

A source said: "Katy`s been trying to get him back! She`s a lost soul right now."

Russell, 36, has since moved on with model Nikolett Barabas, while Katy has been linked to Chanel star Baptiste Giabiconi. But according to US Weekly, a recent trip to India - where she tied the knot with the `Arthur` actor in October 2010 - made her realise what she had lost.

The insider said: "She`d already been missing Russell. Being back there stirred up even more old feelings."

However, a reunion may be a long way off with the pair still, "trying to get to the point where they can at least be friends."

Russell - who waived his right to a chunk of Katy`s wealth in the divorce settlement, which is set to be made official in June - has previously insisted he is already over the split.

He said: "I`m doing well. You don`t need to brush it off if you don`t get it on you in the first place.
"I don`t have to let anything go. I don`t hold on to anything negative. It`s the same as zero-ness.

"It`s not about letting it go. You can`t let go of something you don`t hold, you know. It`s meaningless, [and] much of our world is predicated on meaninglessness. And I don`t do that anymore."
