Katy Perry is being comforted by Russell Brand in the wake of her split from John Mayer.
The Firework singer has sent a text message to her her ex-husband for advice and support since her eight-month romance with Mayer broke down last month.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Katy reached out to him after she split with John, bemoaning her luck with men and Russell provided her with some much-needed reassurance."
It has previously been claimed Mayer was not happy that Perry was still on such friendly terms with Brand - who she split from in December 2011.
The musician had allegedly grown tired of Perry's endless comparisons between Brand and himself, while the pop beauty hated his constant flirting.
