Fergie and Josh Duhamel announce shock split after eight years of marriage
They have a little boy together
Last updated 15th Sep 2017
The Black Eyed Peas' singer Fergie and her husband, actor Josh Duhamel, have announced they will be separating after eight years of marriage.
Fergie and Josh, who share a four-year-old son together, made the announcement in a statement which said,
"With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year.
"To give our family the best opportunity to adjust we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public. We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."
The couple met 13 years ago in Las Vegas when Fergie appeared on Josh's show with The Black Eyed Peas who joined for a cameo. At the time the Transformers actor apparently already had a crush on the singer, as he had previously said to InStyle magazine, "My recurring dream involves the lead singer of The Black Eyed Peas. Oh, my god, I’ve got the biggest crush on her! God, she is hot!"
Fergie and Josh then dated for three years before getting engaged in December 2007 and married in Malibu, California a couple of years later.
In January this year the pair celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary together with their little boy posting the special day on Instagram, with Fergie saying, 'happy 8th anniversary to my bae 💋💋'.
This news comes and Fergie releases new music 'You Already Know' featuring Nicki Minaj.
