Russell Brand is off the market ladies, so any hopes you may have had of being the wife of a revolutionary may have to be put on hold as he has confirmed he is 'in a relationship'.
38-year-old Brand has been in an on/off relationship with Jemima Khan for the past couple of months and although he did not name the socialite he revealed at his 'A Brand New Politics' talk last night that he is 'in a relationship at the moment'.
He made the confession to Huffington Post UK Political Director Mehdi Hasan at the intimate event hosted by the online news website. After the talk, Mehdi asked if he was rushing to catch a flight back to Los Angeles, to which Russell replied: 'No, I'm going to see my girlfriend', adding, 'Is the camera still on?'. He really should have known better if he was trying to keep that hush-hush.
Russell has been teasing about his romantic status after saying he is single at a stand-up show in Atlanta, Georgia, in September, telling the audience 'I'm currently single'.
Jemima, 39, was later seen in the stalls at the Hammersmith Apollo for Brand's stand-up show, 'The Messiah Complex' earlier this month, and they were seen again hanging out at Columbia Road flower market in east London and sources say they were strolling arm in arm in Shoreditch last week.
Brand, who is guest-editing The New Statesman, the magazine of which Jemima is associate editor, this month, first confirmed the pair were more than friends in an article in The Guardian in which he said he was 'presently beleaguered by a nerdish, whirling dervish, and am eschewing all others'.
Mega romantic.
