Hollywood couple Fergie and Josh Duhamel have announced that they will be separating in a joint statement made to People magazine today. 

The couple celebrated their 8th anniversary back in January with a trip to Hawaii.

Their statement reads:

With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. 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.

The couple have a 4-year-old son together.
