The 36-year-old singer is looking forward to spending quality time with Josh.

Fergie revealed she has plenty of outings lined up to keep herself busy.

"You know, I'm ready to have a day where I can just see where the day takes me," she explained. "Take this journey. Go to an art gallery. Go to a museum. Go to fashion shows. Spend time with my husband."

Fergie has been with hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas since 2003, and married Josh in 2009.

It not yet known when the group will return to the recording studio.

Fergie admits she has no idea when she will be reunited with her bandmates either.

"We're not going to set a date on it," she added. "It's organic."

Fergie recently revealed she was looking forward to spending time with her family and will be celebrating Christmas at her mom's house this year.
