Fergie and Josh Duhamel reach divorce settlement and custody agreement in regard to their son Axl, six
They were married for eight years before splitting in 2017, and now they can put this part of their lives behind them once and for all.
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and Transformers actor Josh Duhamel have settled their divorce, which also entailed reaching a shared custody agreement pertaining to their son Axl, six.
According to court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, the estranged pair have agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their child, further stipulating that neither parent will be receiving child support or alimony since they both identify as 'fully self-supporting' individuals.

The finalized divorce also means that Fergie, 44, will shed her married name and once again legally take on her maiden moniker, Stacy Ann Ferguson.
Fergie and Duhamel, 47, made their separation public in September 2017, but it wasn't until May of this year that Fergie officially filed paperwork for a divorce in Pasadena, California, courthouse.

Last December, Josh spoke fondly of Fergie when he visited the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard:
'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.'
