Divorce Finalised For Fergie & Josh Duhamel 2 Years After Separation

It may not be a rather merry bit of news but it has happened rather often than not where we have come across several celebrity couples that call it quits and are either already separated or divorced. One of the lot has been singer-songwriter, Fergie and her now-former husband, Josh Duhamel.

The couple called it quits back in 2017. However, it is only now that their divorce has been finalized and they are officially no longer husband and wife. The paperwork for the same was filed by Fergie five months ago in a courthouse in Pasadena, Calif.

According to a court docket, Fergie filed for divorce from Duhamel on Friday at a courthouse in Pasadena, Calif. The singer and Duhamel had announced their split in September 2017 after eight years of marriage.

"They took their time figuring things out and making sure this was the right decision," a source told E! News. "They had a long separation to see if there was any chance of things changing. Over time, it became clear that they had made the right decision and that it was time to move on."

"They love each other dearly and they have a great relationship since separating," the source continued. "But they needed to finalize things so they could truly move on and close that chapter of their lives. There was no culprit, it was just time." 

Despite their separation just under two years ago, the two of them have been dedicated to co-parenting their 5-year-old son Axl Duhamel.

A few days after going public with their separation, a source told E! News that they both really wanted to have another child together.

"Around a year ago when Fergie was contemplating what was next for her musically, Fergie and Josh were trying to have another baby. At the time, it was made clear that having another baby was a priority for Fergie over anything else regarding her music so she was trying to scale work back," the source said.

A second source shared similar information. "They are both just sad. It became clear that they wanted different things and there was no middle ground," they said at the time. "They couldn't find a way to make it work."
