Black Eyed Peas entertainer Fergie has filed documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court to officially shed her birth name … Stacy Ann Ferguson.
The 38-year-old mother-to-be will be legally known as Fergie Duhamel, sharing the same last name as her actor husband Josh Duhamel and their soon to arrive first born child.
According to her lawyer, “She is doing so to conform to the first name which she is commonly and professionally known as, and has been for many years.”
The talented entertainer has not been called Stacy for nearly three decades. She was first professionally known as Fergie during her long-running television stint on ‘Kids Incorporated’ from age 9-14, followed by a singing gig with the 90’s girl group Wild Orchid at age 17.
Fergie and hubby Josh are expecting a child in August. She announced the news with this tweet in mid-February, “Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!”
She admits she has a lot to learn, “I have no idea what I’m doing! I’m just going to play it by ear and see how things go, and let the natural instincts kick in.”
The baby daddy recently did some shopping for his unborn son during a recent trip to Ireland.
