Caption Katy Perry and Russell Brand separately attend a basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center in Los Angeles October 30, 2012LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Awkward!
Tuesdays Los Angeles Lakers NBA season opener had a slew of celebrities in attendance, including courtside staples like Jack Nicholson, David Beckham, Adam Levine and Zac Efron plus exes Katy Perry and Russell Brand.
Katy, who sported a purple leopard-print dress at the game, was seated next to her father Keith Hudson.
Russell was seen courtside with two unidentified teenage boys.
According to E! News, the pair who divorced in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage did not speak or exchange eye contact while the Lakers took on the Dallas Mavericks (the Lakers eventually lost the game).
In June, Katy who has been linked to John Mayer in recent months spoke out about her split with Russell, while promoting her concert documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me
I just wanted to encourage people to let them know that its okay if they have problems. Its okay if theyre going through a situation, they dont have to lay down and die, the 28-year-old told Access at the time, when asked about including her split in the film.
In July, the British comedian/actor, 35, also addressed their split.
I still love her as a human being. But, sometimes when youre in a relationship, I suppose it doesnt work out, does it? But that doesnt mean I regret it or anything. I was very happy to be married with her, Russell said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Shes such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her.
