A few days ago rumors were starting to spread about an alleged engagement between Fergie and Josh Duhamel. Sources reported that Josh popped the big question last holiday season, but they the couple didn’t want to announce it until a wedding date was set. It was said that Stacy Ferguson, Fergie’s real name, hid her ring in her handbag when she made a public appearance.

The rumors about this engagement have now been denied by both parties. The beautiful couple says that they are deeply in love, but not at all engaged. The Black Eyed Peas singer even shares a secret to having a happy relationship: cooking, karaoke and fishing.

The Fergalicious singer tells People that they always do funny and romantic things. Like singing karaoke on the karaoke machine Josh owns. They like to sing real corny songs when they get together with friends. Fergie states that Josh sings better than you would expect him to, especially his version of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’.

The happy couple also took a cooking class together and even went fishing for mahi mahi and marlin. The Las Vegas actor and his girl are trying to figure out where the pitfalls are of a relationship that is always in the eye of the cameras and how to avoid them. They try to stay out of the spotlights as often as they can, because it just adds more pressure to your relationship. They try to find a healthy balance between being in the media and protecting their privacy. When Fergie found out they were engaged last week (in the media), she just had to react to it. Fergie and Josh think it’s quit funny that are getting engaged every single week.

So just to set the record straight: the two longtime lovers are not planning their wedding… yet
