Duhamel's Wedding with Mari & His Divorce from Fergie

Duhamel and Mari, 29, began dating in 2019 after being publicly spotted locking lips in Toronto. They walked down the aisle in September 2022 in Fargo, North Dakota, the groom's home state.

The lovebirds, who had gotten engaged months earlier in January of that year, had a rooftop ceremony at Jasper Hotel and held their reception at a tavern called Duffy's.

Duhamel started seeing the formerly crowned Miss World America following his divorce from Fergie. The "Glamorous" singer filed for divorce in late May 2019, almost two years after the duo publicly announced their separation in a joint statement in September 2017.

Fergie and the "Transformers" star were married for eight years before calling it quits on their marriage. They started dating in 2004 and got engaged in 2007 before tying the knot in January 2009.

More than a year after announcing his breakup with the mother of his child, Duhamel, who starred in “Shotgun Wedding” alongside Jennifer Lopez, spoke candidly about his plans in December 2018. He revealed he was ready to settle down again and have a family.

Duhamel, who had his acting debut as Leo du Pres on the ABC soap opera "All My Children," alongside Susan Lucci, divulged on the "Armchair Expert" podcast that he was not young anymore and would like to have kids in the following years. "So, it’s more about finding someone young enough to have kids," he said.
