Josh Duhamel has confirmed that he and his ex-wife Fergie are in a fantastic place, describing their current relationship as being as good as it could be.
Speaking on the Tomi Lahren is not afraid podcast from Thursday April 23, Ransom Canyon The actor praised the singer for being a “good person” and a great mother.
Perhaps most importantly for their modern family dynamic, Duhamel shared that Fergie also gets along well with his wife, Audra Mari, ensuring there is no hostility between the households.
The 53-year-old actor, who was married to the former Black Eyed Peas star between 2009 and 2019, explained that keeping things civil was his main priority.
The couple share a 12-year-old son, Axl, and have worked hard to provide him with a comfortable upbringing that avoids the “awkward or uncomfortable” atmosphere they both experienced with their own parents’ divorce.
Duhamel noted that since their separation was finalized in a 50-50 shared custody agreement, they have strived to be positive examples for their son, rather than falling into the traps of a contentious breakup.
Reflecting on their decade-long marriage, Duhamel admitted it took some time to adjust to Fergie’s level of fame, especially when she was a “giant star” who sold out stadiums around the world.
He revealed that their eventual separation was not due to any specific conflict, but rather outgrowing each other as their interests changed.
While Fergie’s career was anchored in the global pop scene, Duhamel felt a growing urge to return to his North Dakota roots.
He insisted there were no hard feelings, simply noting that they simply had different paths to take as they got older.
Today, life looks very different for the actor, who married Audra Mari in 2022.
The couple already share a young son named Shepherd and recently announced that they are expecting their second child together.
Despite the new additions to his family, Duhamel remains grateful that his relationship with Fergie has remained respectful and caring.
By prioritizing a pressure-free environment for Axl and maintaining a friendship with his ex-wife, he believes they were able to navigate the complexities of co-parenting in the public eye.
