Fergie has spoken out about her separation from Josh Duhamel for the first time, saying they went public with the announcement when it started getting "weird".

"Honestly, it was just getting a little weird for us with all the romantic questions," she told People Magazine on Tuesday (local time). "We're great friends, we love each other so much, and it just got to a point where it was getting a little weird. There's no perfect time so we just decided to do it."

She added that it was especially strange for Duhamel to discuss their relationship publicly.

"I don't know, you can ask him, but it was getting a little weird to laugh through the first date questions," she explained.

The 42-year-old pop star maintains it's an amicable split, after eight years of marriage to the 44-year-old actor. 

"We just wanted to get adjusted in private," she said.

The stars share one son, 4-year-old Axl. 

"[Axl's school has helped as] we have a co-op so Josh and I would walk there several times before the school season. So I get to learn from the teachers and see how he reacts in a group of friends that he knows."
