We Finally Know Why Fergie And Josh Duhamel Split

In 2017, singer Fergie and actor Josh Duhamel announced that they were separating after eight years of marriage and nearly 13 years as a couple. But there was no knock-down, drag-out custody battle. Instead, they amicably hashed it out, privately. So what went wrong? Here's the scoop on why Josh and Fergie split. Duhamel reportedly first laid eyes on Fergie when a friend convinced him to watch the Black Eyed Peas music video for "Hey Mama." It might not have been love at first sight, but it was certainly instant lust. It seems Duhamel was so taken by Fergie's boom boom pow that she made her way into his fantasies. In 2004, the actor told InStyle, "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!" Little did he know that Fergie happened to see that very issue. She later told Playboy, "I had read in a magazine that he had a naughty dream about me. All my friends knew about him because he had been a soap-opera star. I'm not into soap operas, but they told me, 'You gotta go out with him.'"
