Why did Josh Duhamel and Fergie divorce? Split explored as Las Vegas star makes rare comment about ex-wife

Josh Duhamel, 52, started dating Fergie, 50, in September 2004. Later, on January 10, 2009, they tied the knot at Malibu's Church Estate Vineyards. During their marriage, they welcomed son Axl on August 29, 2013.

After over a decade of marriage, including two years of separation, the couple decided to end their relationship and get divorced. Around six years after the divorce, the actor reflected on this and expressed a rare comment about Fergie.

Though the former couple share "a great relationship" now, They had to separate and go their own ways as they had "different interests."

In a 2023 In Depth With Graham Bensinger interview, Josh shared,

"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."

Josh Duhamel spoke about Fergie years after their divorce

Josh's marriage and divorce from Fergie have been quite transformative for him. He believes he is still a "work in progress." In a recent conversation with Parade, the Life As We Know It actor spoke about his past relationship with his ex-wife.

Despite everything that happened between them in the past, they still share a good bond, especially to co-parent and raise their son. Recalling the experience of parenthood, he shared that there is "very little conflict" between him and Fergie.

According to E! News, the actor further continued,

"Part of the reason I built my place out in Minnesota, deep in the woods, is it’s removed from everything. The closest store is 40 miles away. Once we get there, it's really about everybody taking care of each other— making memories, spending time with family and friends."

Sharing his experiences and perspectives, he also added,

"You really get a chance to get back to the basics. You're not consumed by all these other distractions. When you're out there, it's really about having fun, making sure everybody's warm, everybody's got food and water."

During the In Depth With Graham Bensinger interview in 2023, he made surprising remarks about his divorce and talked about the reason leading to the major life decision.

The actor said,

"I don’t think I ever really got comfortable with all of it. I just missed the simplicity of who I really am, you know?"

Despite his profession in the entertainment industry, Duhamel is not,

"comfortable going to red carpets, doing all the Hollywood stuff."
