Whether you know him as a naughties heartthrob or from his recent role in Netflix’s Ransom Canyon, given you’re here, we’re willing to bet you’re a tad obsessed Josh Duhamel (and we can’t blame you).

The 52-year-old has been launched back into the spotlight thanks to his leading role in the new Western Romance, in which he stars opposite Minka Kelly. 

While we’re primarily interested in whether we’ll get more of Staten and Quinn’s romance in Ransom Canyon Season 2 (more on that here), we’re also curious about Josh’s off-screen love life. The actor *is* married (sorry to be the bearers of bad news) and his relationship history is interesting, to say the least. 

Scroll on for everything you need to know about his current wife, Audra Mari, as well as his ex, Fergie (yes, that Fergie).

Who Is Josh Duhamel's Wife?

Josh Duhamel is married to 31-year-old Audra Mari, who is a model, TV presenter and beauty pageant queen. 

The pair met in 2019 after Josh slid into Audra’s DMs. They got engaged in January 2022, and tied the knot in North Dakota in September that year.

Josh and Audra welcomed a son, Shepherd in January 2024. Josh also shares a son, Axl,  with his ex-wife, the singer Fergie.

Wait, Was Josh Duhamel Married to Fergie?

Josh Duhamel and Fergie first met in 2004 when her band, the Black Eyed Peas filmed a cameo on his show Las Vegas.

They started dating soon after and got engaged in 2007, before tying the knot two years later. They welcomed their first and only child together in 2013.

In 2017, the couple announced their separation via a joint statement released to People.

“With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year,” they said. “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.”

Josh reflected on their split in a 2023 interview with Graham Bensinger. “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,” he added. “I’m very lucky that she’s a kind human.”
