Fergie and Josh Duhamel have separated after eight years of marriage.

The former Black Eyed Peas star and her actor husband revealed the news in a joint statement on Thursday, saying that they had split “earlier this year.”

“With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year,” they told People magazine.

“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 pair, who share four-year-old son Axl, began dating back in 2004 when Fergie made a cameo on Duhamel’s Las Vegas show.

They got engaged three years later and married in Malibu in January 2009.

Just last week Fergie – real name Stacy Ann Ferguson – laughed off rumours that the pair were expecting their second child.

“I've heard so many rumors about all of that. I have no idea what's in the future,” she told 103.5 KTU.

While they haven’t made a public appearance as a couple this year, Fergie and Duhamel celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary with an Instagram snap back in January.
