Fergie and Duhamel tied the knot in 2009.
Their marriage seemed perfectly happy, but it wasn’t meant to last.
In September 2017, Fergie and Duhamel announced they were separating.
We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."
But now, years later, we finally have our answer.
While Fergie took to it like a bee to a flower, Duhamel felt “uncomfortable.”
After being under the spotlight for so long, he began to crave normalcy.
“I don’t think I ever really got comfortable with all of it,” he told Bensinger.
“I just missed the simplicity of who I really am, you know?”
The “Transformers” actor went on to express relief that he didn’t lose himself to stardom.
“We had a great time.
But I think we just kind of outgrew each other and had very different interests.”
The ex-couple is a great example of how two people can continue to coexist after divorcing.
The two remain on good terms and peacefully co-parenttheir son, Axl.
Since the divorce, Duhamel has gone on a journey of self-discovery.
In 2022, he married pageant queen Audra Mari.
He’s attributed much of his newfound happiness to her.
“That’s why Audra’s so great for me,” Duhamel noted with a smile.
“We’re both hardcore North Dakotans.
We both love lake life.”
