Fergie on Josh Duhamel cheating rumours: It`s difficult

Los Angeles: Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has opened up about her husband Josh Duhamel`s alleged affair with an Atlanta stripper.

Fergie was married to Duhamel, 39, for just nine months when the ‘Life As We Know It’ actor was accused of sleeping with blonde Nicole Forrester back in 2009. It was a claim the former model always vehemently denied and Fergie, 37, revealed "it was difficult" when the reports surfaced, reported a website. "When you go through difficult times, it really makes you stronger as a unit, as a partnership. It does for us, anyways. Our love today is a deeper love, definitely. "We`re stronger today definitely because of anything difficult that`s happened with us. We deal with it, we communicate; communicating`s the most important thing," Fergie said. The couple have been together for nine years now and Duhamel believes their union is unbreakable. "We`ve both had to work for what we got. We`re both Catholic. There were a lot of things that were really compatible between us. But at the end of the day, she`s just an amazing girl," he said. PTI
