‘Where Is the Love’ for Fergie? All About the Black Eyed Peas Singer’s Star-Studded Dating History

Mario Lopez

Back in 1984, a young Fergie dated Mario Lopez when they starred in the TV series Kids Incorporated together. The childhood romance was short but memorable for Mario as he’s revealed that the singer was his first kiss. “She says there was no tongue!” he told People in 2009. “I wrote her a note and, as she likes to point out, I was very smooth at 10 because I bought her perfume. I think the gesture was pretty good for a kid.”

While the childhood sweethearts didn’t last, Mario has nothing but nice things to say about the singer, whose full name is Stacy Ann Ferguson. “I’m happy to say Stacy has stayed just as sweet as when we were kids,” he said. “I’m happy for all of her success. She deserves it.”

Justin Timberlake

Fergie and Justin Timberlake dated in 1997. The two were relatively private about their romance but Fergie once told Australia’s Courier Mail, “He was 16 and I was 23. It was before he got real heavy with Britney.”

Josh Duhamel

Josh and Fergie first met in 2004 on the set of Josh’s show, Las Vegas. The actor later talked about their first meeting in a 2014 interview with E! News, claiming that he blurted out, “You’re hot,” to the singer.

“It sounds corny when you say it, but I think she knew I was sort of saying it tongue-in-cheek because she had already known that I had a little bit of a crush on her while she was there, and it was sort of a way of saying something she already knew,” he added.

Apparently, Josh’s blunt pick-up line worked because the two said “I do” in January 2009. They welcomed their son, Axl Jack, in August 2013, before announcing their separation in September 2017.

In October 2023, Josh opened up about his split with Fergie on an episode of the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast.

“I made peace with that part of my life. She and I have a great relationship,” he said of Fergie. “There wasn’t anything wrong with it. We had a great time. I think we kind of outgrew each other and had very different interests.”

Josh added that he has “no hard feelings” and said, “I’m very lucky that she’s a kind human.”
