Katy paired a black top with light-wash jeans for the evening out. She added a matching black belt and boots, along with silver earrings.

Katy’s dark brown hair was styled in a bun, and she wore pink lipstick. The singer carried a small black purse as she left the restaurant.

Justin, 54, opted for a navy blue long-sleeved jumper, black jeans and black shoes.

Another photograph showed the former Canadian prime minister opening a black van’s door for Katy as they prepared to leave.

In a video captured by the same outlet, Katy was asked about her “reaction” to Brand being sentenced. She was also asked whether she had a message for the victims. She chose not to answer.

Russell Brand’s conviction and marriage to Katy

Brand was jailed for 10 years and six months at his sentencing on Monday (November 9).

His trial began at Southwark Crown Court on October 12, 2026, with jury selection. He gave evidence on October 28.

On November 5, 2026, jurors convicted Brand of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was cleared of two other rape counts and one count of attempted indecent assault.

The judge refused bail and remanded him in custody ahead of sentencing.

Katy and Brand first met in 2009. They married in 2010 and finalised their divorce in 2012. Their wedding took place in Rajasthan, India, in a Hindu ceremony.

Brand had filed for divorce in December 2011. In a 2013 Vogue interview, Katy described tensions around her touring work.

“He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour,” she said.

Katy also told the magazine she had not heard from Brand since his text message saying he was divorcing her.
