When asked by People magazine on Tuesday evening whether there was any truth to the engagement rumors, the 57-year-old said with a laugh, “No.”

Highlighting her oldest daughter’s recent accomplishments, the proud mom said, “Beatrice just raised a great deal of money for her charity Big Change, doing a Strive Challenge with the Bransons. And then she went with the Franks Foundation to eye hospitals in Nepal. And she has scoliosis of the spine and she does an awful lot for orthopedic research.”
Fergie noted, “They are very extraordinary girls.”
