Fergie: I’m Not Pregnant, Just ‘A Couple Pounds Up’
Blame Fergie's curvier figure on anything but pregnancy. In a recent appearance on the Rachael Ray show, the funky singer confirmed she and husband Josh Duhamel, aren't expecting.
"[People ask if I'm pregnant] every time I fluctuate a few pounds. Like right now, I'm a couple pounds up," the singer said. "Sometimes I go a couple pounds down and I wear the clothes that are more fitted, but people kind of look at me because they're expecting [that] it's that time. We do hope for children and that will be coming up, but it's not yet."
"I want to spend time with my husband, watch football, watch basketball," Fergie told People Magazine after New Years. "I'm going where the day takes me - having days where I have no schedule. That's going to be nice and refreshing for me ... a definite change."
Of her new year's resolution, she told the publication, "I'm looking forward to being home and not having to sleep in a different city or country every night."
When the "Black Eye Peas" songstress is home, she ditches her usual tight attire and goes for comfort. "I love [wearing] sweats," Fergie revealed to Ray. "I steal Josh's T-shirts. It's fun! They're baggy and he likes it."
While she loves wearing her husband's over-sized T's, she hates when he interferes with her primping sessions. "I hate when he comes in in the middle of me getting ready. It just ruins the whole thing," she giggled. "I'm always like, 'Get out!' You want to come out and present."
However, Fergie's life hasn't always been so rosy, she has been very vocal about her addiction to crystal meth. "I'm not claiming to be sober," the singer told Glamour magazine regarding her recovery. "I think that that would be misleading. I drink alcohol. My father has a vineyard, and [the wine is] really delicious, by the way."
"Anyway, for most addicts, they would advise never to have any sort of substance," she continued. "I just have my own journey, and I am very blessed to this day to be alive."
"There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn't believe in me," she told Katie Couric, who interviewed her. "I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself, and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder."
