'We were married on January 10th 2009 and dated for five years before that, so five years, got married. So like 8 years.'

The Double Dutchess songstress announced in a statement released on September 14 that she and actor Josh had split earlier this year.

Speaking to People magazine in September, The Black Eyed Peas singer admitted it was getting uncomfortable discussing their marriage in interviews when they had privately split.

She said: Honestly, it was just getting a little weird for us with all the romantic questions.

'We're great friends, we love each other so much, and it just got to the point where it was getting a little weird. There's no perfect time so we just decided to do it.'

The pair reportedly called it quits in February but only recently announced their relationship status.
