Russell said about his wife: "We see each other once a week. We meet up all the time. She's beautiful. I love having my own little pop star. She's brill." (FYI: "Brill" means "cool.")
The British star has definitely changed his womanizing ways and even toned down his look since becoming involved with Katy, but he insists the transformation was all his doing. He told the Daily Mirror: "Katy's not like that. We wouldn't have got married if we were a couple of bickering little snides. The skinny jeans aren't gone for good. I like my trousers fitted - but I'm in my 30s. It's normal to stop having a mad haircut. Imagine being 70 with that ludicrous nest. It's natural passage of time. Certainly one changes as a result of marriage. If you don't, why do it? Anything that doesn't change you, don't do it. It's pointless."
Russell also said he's anxious to start a family, but he'd be thoroughly disappointed if the little tyke didn't have a British accent. He joked: "Imagine if my children didn't have an Essex accent. I don't think I could take it. My children have got to be born somewhere where it's legitimate for them to support West Ham United. Everything makes me a little homesick. I've become madly patriotic."
