The couple first hit it off after meeting on the set of Duhamel’s show “Las Vegas” in 2004, per E! The Black Eyed Peas made a guest appearance, and the first words that came out of Duhamel’s mouth when he met Fergie were, “You’re hot.” “It sounds corny when you say it, but I think she knew I was sort of saying it tongue-in-cheek because she had already known that I had a little bit of a crush on her while she was there, and it was sort of a way of saying something she already knew,” he explained to E! in 2014.

The two went on to date and eventually tied the knot in January 2009. They renewed their vows the following year, and in August 2013, they welcomed their first child, son Axl Jack. Things then took a turn in September 2017 when the pair announced their separation after eight years of marriage. At the time, Fergie and Duhamel released a statement to People saying, “With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public. We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family.”

Since then, they seem to have been successfully coparenting Axl. In an October 2023 interview on the podcast “In Depth With Graham Bensinger,” Duhamel opened up a bit further about their breakup, saying fame had something to do with it. “I don’t think I ever really got comfortable with all of it,” he said, referring to the pressures of Hollywood. “I just missed the simplicity of who I really am, you know? I’m just not a guy who is comfortable going to red carpets. Doing all the Hollywood stuff.”

Still, he said, he and Fergie are on good terms. “I made peace with that part of my life. She and I have a great relationship,” he said. “There wasn’t anything wrong with it. We had a great time. I think we kind of outgrew each other and had very different interests. I’ve got no hard feelings for it. I truly don’t. I’m very lucky that she’s a kind human.”

Duhamel tied the knot with Audra Mari in September 2022, per People, and the pair are expecting their first child.
