Russell Brand may have had a string of different lady friends on his arm since splitting from Katy Perry, but the star has reiterated his love for his ex-wife.
Russell, who was chatting to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV breakfast show, revealed she still holds a place in his heart despite him calling time on their marriage last December.
"[The marriage] did work out in a way, you're married and it's good, then you're not married and it's good," he said.
"You just have to have acceptance of things. She's a person I love but this is a new time.
He also joked about the endless paper trail that comes with ending a marriage, telling Lorraine: "Divorce is difficult because of the admin. A lot of admin!"
He told the chat show host he had no regrets about their 15 month marriage.
"I was very happy to be married with her," he said. "She's such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her."
