Russell Brand is handling his divorce from Katy Perry the way he handles most things: Good-humoredly.
The comedian, who earlier this month poked fun at his own relatively short-lived marriage, now insists that the relationship ended the way it should have.
"Well, it did work out in a way because you are married for some time, and that's really good, and then you're not married, and that's really good," he said on UK's "Lorraine" show.
"You just have to have acceptance of things. She is a person that I love, but now this is a new time," he added. "I suppose a divorce is difficult, isn't it, because of the admin! There's a lot of admin."
The 37-year-old funnyman and ex Perry, 27, pulled the plug on their whirlwind marriage at the end of last year after a little over a year of marriage.
Both parties have declined to speak in depth about their split, but the divorce has been seen largely as amicable, with Perry even signing their divorce papers with a happy face.
Since they've gone their separate ways, Perry has been linked to Florence + The Machine's guitarist Robert Akyroyd, while Brand has kept his options open.
He has recently been rumored to be chasing after online presenter Emily Hartridge, according to UK's The Sun, and has also been supposedly dating 23-year-old fashion stylist Maeve Reilly.
"Got to be a good day when @rustyrockets licks your elbow mid interview," Hartridge tweeted following an incident wherein Brand reportedly licked cake off her arm on the red carpet.
In an interview with the Mirror, Brand further tried to clarify his relationship status.
"I'm single at the moment. I'm also dating," he told the paper. "You know that sort of dating where you can do what you like?"
The comedian will next star in star-studded film "Rock of Ages."

LONDON |
LONDON (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange, which the Hong Kong stock exchange agreed to buy on Friday, was formed in the last quarter of the 19th century to serve industrial Britain's insatiable appetite for metals.

March 2007 - LME CEO Martin Abbott says the exchange is not for sale or planning any acquisitions.
June 2007 - LME intervenes in nickel market to make more metal available at a time of tight supplies.
July 2007 - LME members approve proposal to create 1 million new B shares. LME sets price of its new Class B shares at 65 pounds per share.
September 2008 - LME says it has no plans to introduce position limits because it has systems in place to ensure an orderly market.
March 2009 - Plan to pay dividends to shareholders approved at annual general meeting.
July 2009 - LME says it has no plans to publish outstanding speculative positions on its contracts nor the names of dominant position holders.
September 2009 - A resolution to move the LME to a two-board structure from one board fails to secure the 75 percent of votes needed.

Still Friends even if she wants to Scream: Courtney Cox spends birthday with Coco and David Arquette - as he files for divorce - Daily Mail
|
There are a select number of celebrity couples that the general public are rooting for.
And despite David Arquette filing for divorce against Courtney Cox this week, their family outing with daughter Coco proves the duo are on good terms - and allows dreamers to hope for a reconciliation.
The Scream co-stars were seen dining out at Paradise Cove in Malibu, California, this afternoon.
Still Friends: Courtney Cox spends her birthday with David Arquette and daughter Coco in Malibu, California
Smiling in the face of adversity: David filed for divorce last week - 20 months after splitting in October 2010
It appeared to be a double celebration, with the Friends star's birthday falling today on June 15, while their only child turned eight earlier this week on Wednesday.
Had the pair avoided a separation, they'd have toasted their 13th wedding anniversary on June 12.
Having met on the set of Wes Craven's horror series, Courtney and David married in 1999.

Growing up fast: Coco has just celebrated her eight birthday
Yet sadly in October 2010, it was announced they had separated. It took 20 months to pass before David then filed for divorce.
During their outing, 48-year-old Courtney looked like any other ordinary mother with minimal make-up and her unstyled dark locks hanging loosely around her shoulders.
She stepped out in simple fitted jeans, flip-flop sandals and a nondescript grey V-neck top.

Meanwhile David, 40, was the more stylish of the two, with a groomed goatee and matching burgundy jacket and footwear.
Coco - dressed in mini Ugg boots and blue tracksuit trousers - seemed very dependent on Courtney, clinging to her mother's side and even raising her feet off the floor at one point to be carried.

Just like old times: It looked like the trio were heading home together
Last week, David filed the papers, and according to TMZ, did not request spousal or child support.
He is said to have signed the documents in March, meaning he held on to them for three months.
