In 2017, singer Fergie and actor Josh Duhamel announced they had divorced after eight years of marriage.

The couple said in a statement at the time: "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. 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 first met back in 2004 after the Black Eyed Peas filmed an episode of the TV showLas Vegas, which Duhamel starred in. By 2007, they were engaged and married by 2009. Then in 2013 they welcomed a son together, named Axl.

Reflecting on the relationship, Duhamel said on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast that co-parenting has been a key priority for the two of them in the years since their split.

"Fergie and I had a great relationship. I love that girl and I always will. Unfortunately, we didn't work. But I will always have her back and she is the mother of my baby."

From music comebacks to a wedding, here's what Fergie and Duhamel's lives look like now.

Fergie.

Fergie, real name Stacy Ann Ferguson, is arguably most famous for her role in the wildly popular hip-hop group the Black Eyed Peas.

In 2017, Fergie decided to officially step away from the group, although she hadn't performed with them extensively for years leading up to the announcement.

She decided to leave the group to focus on her solo career and launched her own record label Duchess Music, and released her second solo albumDouble Duchessin 2017.

"It's been 11 years since I released an album so I felt like it was time to show all the parts – intimate, fun, laughing, crying," she told People. "All of it. And this is the place for me to release what's in my journals. I've been through a lot of experiences in life and I felt like why not share them?"

Although the album wasn't a massive critical-acclaimed success, Fergie has said that she enjoys the craft behind everything she does, not just the end result.

"Instead of trying to be a perfectionist, I've learned a little bit to laugh at myself and just be okay with the fact that I'm not always going to get it and it's going to be really imperfect a lot of the time."

In 2018, she hosted two seasons of the Fox competition reality show,The Four: Battle for Stardom,which featured celebrity panellists such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, DJ Khaled, and Meghan Trainor.

Most recently, Fergie forayed into fashion, starting her own shoe line.

She said to Fashion Magazine: "Shoes are a metaphor; you're walking your path. Everyone's got their own path and it's an individual manifestation of everything that has occurred in your life. For me, it's always, 'walk your path with pride, walk your path with confidence.' Another metaphor is to stomp out all those fears. It can be that self, that inner critic that is in our way and when you stomp that out of the way, the inspiration flows."

This year, her hit 2007 song 'Glamourous' was sampled heavily by American rapper Jack Harlow in his song 'First Class'. It has since brought her music back to the forefront, and the two performed together at the MTV Awards.

As for dating, Fergie has kept things out of the public eye since her split with Duhamel.

In 2017, Fergie said to Wendy Williams of her divorce: "I wanted to stay married forever. He is [good looking], always will be. I love Josh, he's the father of my child. We forever have that project together, and we're doing the best we can."

The pair continue to go to their son's school meetings together, his kindergarten graduation, and share 50/50 custody.

Josh Duhamel.

In recent years, Duhamel has been focusing on his acting career, with a bunch of strong new titles to his name – includingThe Thing About Pamwith Renée Zellweger, and also Love Simon.

He also replaced Armie Hammer in the upcoming filmShotgun Weddingwith Jennifer Lopez, amid the allegations surrounding Hammer.

Mostly recently, Duhamel is in the headlines for his new relationship with beauty pageant contestant and model Audra Mari.

Back in October 2019 they were first spotted together, and by 2020 all was confirmed. In January 2022, they announced their engagement.

"It's on!! She found a message in a bottle that washed ashore and said YES!!" Duhamel wrote on Instagram. Fergie commented on the post, congratulating the pair.

Sharing the details of the engagement, Duhamel said to Access that he knew he wanted to propose on the beach but only thought of the 'message in a bottle idea' the day of the event.

"That morning, it kinda hit me – I was like, 'You know what? You guys have any empty bottles around here?' And I went and talked to the concierge," he said. "So we planned it all out – I was gonna walk her down there as this thing was floating up."

There was a moment of panic before the proposal when the bottle wasn't on the sand when they walked up to the sandbar. It took one diversion in the form of a game of cornhole for the bottle to wash up onto the sand so Duhamel could pop the big question.

"Oh, I knew that pretty early on," he said when asked if he thought she was 'the one'.

"She's an awesome girl, [and] she's perfect for me. We're both from North Dakota and I think there's a commonality that we have. She's great. Very similar interests – we love lake life. She's got a cabin not far from mine. We just match. She's an amazing person."
