Thankfully, three years later the couple are, according to the singer, "stronger" than ever.

"When you go through difficult times, it really makes you stronger as a unit, as a partnership. It does for us, anyways," she told Oprah, on a segment airing this Sunday on Oprah's Next Chapter. "Our love today is a deeper love, definitely."

In October of 2009, Josh was filming Life As We Know It in Atlanta when a local stripper accused the actor of seducing and bedding her in a hotel room.

While the Transformers star denied the claims, Fergie says the rumors were "difficult."

"We're stronger today definitely because of anything difficult that's happened with us," she said. "We deal with it, we communicate; communicating's the most important thing."
