I don\u2019t think she was prepared to give up her career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u2018This wasn\u2019t one of those occasions when Russell was mucking about, he wanted to settle down and have a family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u2018I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what Katy wants.\u00a0 I think she\u2019s very confused. They\u2019ve been speaking a lot.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u2018There have been a lot of phone calls this week. Katy is 27. That\u2019s not too young to get married. But professionally she is in a very powerful position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u2018She\u2019s just done a year-long tour, she\u2019s incredibly successful and she wasn\u2019t ready to give up her career. I don\u2019t think she was prepared to give that up and give time to the marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u2018It was reported she was taking a year off, but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s doing that. It\u2019s very sad.
