told HollywoodLife.com of Perry: "She is so great."
Indeed, Perry's writing portfolio includes hits like Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," Pink's "Get the Party Started," and Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For?"
Perry came from humble beginnings. She reportedly worked at a San Francisco pizzeria before bringing the band 4 Non Blondes together in 1989. At one point, she was addicted to drugs and had kidney disease.
For "Beautiful," she received a Grammy nomination in 2004. She's founded the record labels Rockstar Records and Custard Records, which worked with singer James Blunt.
In February 2015, Gilbert gave birth to the pair's baby boy, Rhodes Emilion. During the LA Impact Awards in 2016, Gilbert could not stop gushing about her son and his impact on her life.

Four years later, the former "Roseanne" actress had a greater realization. She determined that she was no longer able to manage both her talk show career and her family together.
Gilbert admitted that there was an imbalance in her life, and it was her family that was suffering from her busy work schedule. At 44, she decided to step down from the show after nine years.
Perry remained quiet for a couple of months after Gilbert stepped down. In June, she broke her silence about her wife to US Weekly. "She's such a talented artist," the singer said.

She added that her wife had a lot of great ideas that others didn't want to entertain for unknown reasons. She also said that she was "super happy" for Gilbert, who was now doing her "own thing."
Fast forward to November month-end, the public learned that Gilbert filed for legal separation in a Los Angeles Court. According to Hollywood Reporter, she cited "irreconcilable differences as the reason."
Gilbert is not seeking spousal support, and it's unclear what arrangements are being made for custody of their son, Rhodes. Whatever happens, we hope the two can cordially co-parent the young boy.

So far, neither woman has come out to talk about their split, but Gilbert was spotted in Los Angeles last weekend without her wedding ring. In the end, we hope it works out for both "The Conners" star and the musician.
