Fergie and Josh Duhamel announce split
Fergie and Duhamel’s wedding was a fairytale right out of a storybook. They tied the knot under magnolia trees filled with white roses at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu, California. Their son, Axlx was born in August 2013.
After eight years of marriage, the couple shocked fans and announced they were separating in a joint statement in 2017.
“With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year,” Entertainment Weekly reported. “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.”
It was rumored that Duhamel was the one who wanted a divorce but Fergie wasn’t ready to pull the plug. Fergie echoed those sentiments in an emotional interview on the Wendy Williams Show, telling the talk show host, “It wasn’t my plan,” she said sighing. “I wanted to stay married forever.” Duhamel’s parents divorced when he was a child and like his wife, he admitted that divorce was not something he wanted for himself. Us Magazine reported that their split was caused by their lifestyle differences, with Fergie wanting a life in the spotlight and Duhamel opting for more of a simple life.
They focused on co-parenting their son and remained close friends until things were sorted out. Entertainment Tonight spoke with the singer about parenting while separated and she revealed that things were going well.
“We split it up really balanced,” she shared. “We’re all love and we love each other. We’re all cool and just a family. I have a good co-parenting partner, so we work it out.”
Fergie filed for divorce two years later.
