According to People.Com “They have been leading separate lives for a long time,” as stated by a music insider.

The couple who had been married for eight years, clearly had their differences with relation to expanding their family according to sources.

E Online reported that “Around a year ago when Fergie was contemplating what was next for her musically, Fergie and Josh were trying to have another baby,” one insider revealed. “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.”

Sources also reported that “She wants to be out on the road doing her thing, while he is more chill. They clashed for a long time before they did anything about it.”
