Fergie Opens Up About Co-Parenting With Josh Duhamel
Fergie and Josh Duhamel still make a great team.
During her Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017 appearance on The Talk, the "Fergalicious" singer opened up about how the two manage co-parenting their 4-year-old son, Axl, following their recent breakup.
"I'm good, as good as you can be with a separation. The good thing is we don't lose each other as parents," she began (via Us Weekly). "All of our cousins are still cousins. Everything basically is staying the same, except we're not a romantic couple anymore."
"I love Josh. We're making it work. We're both working full time right now," the "Big Girls Don't Cry" hitmaker, whose album Double Dutchess hit shelves in September, continued. "We are just making it happen. We've got Axl and we're just working parents."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Fergie, 42, and Duhamel, 44, began dating in September 2004 and married in January 2009. In September 2017, they announced that they had separated months earlier in February. "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year," they said in a joint statement at the time. "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."
Earlier this week, Fergie became emotional while discussing her separation on The Wendy Williams Show. "It wasn't my plan. I wanted to stay married forever," the Black Eyed Peas pop star told host Wendy Williams before tearing up. "I love Josh, he's the father of my child. You're making me cry."
She added, "We forever have that project [of parenting Axl] together. And we're doing the best we can."
