Fergie and Josh Duhamel separate after eight years of marriage

 

Fergie and Josh Duhamel are calling it quits after eight years of marriage.

“With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year,” the couple said in a joint statement to People on Thursday. “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 stars share one son, 4-year-old Axl.

Fergie and Duhamel tied the knot on Jan. 10, 2009 after getting together in 2004.
