"With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year," the exes wrote in a joint statement to Entertainment Tonight. "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."
Following their separation, Fergie continued to speak fondly of her ex. In a previous interview with ET, she said she and Duhamel were "great friends" and "there's so much love that we have for each other."
"We really like each other; we have fun with each other. We're just not a romantic couple anymore. But we are still Axl's parents through and through, and our families — each other's families, the cousins, my nieces and nephews — it's all the same. So that's the only thing that's changed," she added.
Duhamel and Fergie share 8-year-old son, Axl Jack Duhamel.
