Stacy Ann Ferguson, professionally known as Fergie, was born on March 27, 1975, in Hacienda Heights, California, to Theresa Ann "Terri" (Gore) and John Patrick Ferguson, both schoolteachers.
Fergie's ancestry is a rich tapestry of cultures, including German, English, Irish, Scottish, Swedish, and Luxembourgish.
As a teenager, her parents' divorce presented a significant challenge for Fergie, who had her sights set on stardom.
Before her rise to fame, Fergie began her acting career as a child, appearing on the television program Kids Incorporated from 1984 to an unknown period, alongside Renee Sandstrom.
Later, Fergie joined the all-female trio Wild Orchid, alongside fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom and Stefanie Ridel. The group released two albums, but after completing a third, their record label declined to release it, prompting an emotional crisis that led Fergie to seek therapy.
She eventually left the group, and in 2003, she was invited to participate in The Black Eyed Peas' song "Hey Mama." The group members were so impressed with her performance that she became the fourth member of the band, adopting the stage name "Fergie."
In September 2004, Fergie met American actor Josh Duhamel, whom she married in 2009.
Fergie's Hollywood career continued to flourish, with a role in the 2006 blockbuster film Poseidon. She also caught the attention of Quentin Tarantino, who invited her to co-star in his 2007 film Grindhouse.
