Josh Duhamel & Fergie's Date Night Down South

Actor steps out with Fergie in Atlanta, but locals say he's usually on the scene solo.

Amidst rumors of her husband's fling with a stripper, Fergie is standing by her man...and flying to his side, joining Josh Duhamel in Georgia, where he's filming Life As We Know It with Katherine Heigl.

Just last night, she was spotted dining with Josh at Atlanta hot spot Chops Steakhouse and Seafood.

The couple is staying next door to the restaurant at the St. Regis Hotel, a manager for Chops tells E! News. Ironically, this is the same hotel where Tattletales dancer Nicole Forrester claims her affair with the married actor occurred.

Reps for both Fergie and Josh deny the incident.

A source tells E! News that Duhamel is extremely upset about the allegations, which he has roundly denied to close friends and associates. In fact, sources say he has broken down in tears numerous times since the story went public.

And while the Duchess is now on the scene, locals say Josh is usually out solo...

The actor has been spotted frequenting bars in the Buckhead area with groups of guys and girls during his downtime.

"That boy likes to put down a few cold ones and party up a storm," one scenester tells E! News. "I see him out all of the time."

Now that Fergie's in town, maybe she'll be joining Josh on his outings. Or they'll get smart and stay holed up in the hotel—making up for time spent apart.
