Duhamel and the former Miss World America star began dating in late 2019 following his divorce from Fergie. The “Big Girls Don’t Cry” singer filed for divorce in May 2019, nearly two years after she and Duhamel announced their breakup in September 2017. The “Transformers” star revealed his engagement to Mari in January 2022 on Instagram with a photo of the couple posing at the beach with a handwritten letter that read “Audra Diane Mari Will You Marry Me?” He captioned the photo saying, “It’s on!! She found a message in a bottle that washed ashore and said YES!!” When asked about wedding planning, Duhamel said that he let Mari take the reigns on it. “Most of the stuff I don’t care about,” he shared. “I just want there to be great music, I want to have people around that we love, and I want be present. I want to make sure that when the night comes, I don’t want to be overcome by the moment. I just want to be present and have a great time.” In September 2022, Duhamel and Mari tied the knot in a North Dakota wedding, where they are both from. Their ceremony was reported to be on the rooftop of a hotel in the area before the pair stopped at a local tavern for food and drinks.
Last year, an insider close to the couple told People that the actor “wants more kids and always has so they probably will have kids sooner than later.” The added saying, “He’s not shy about it, but he’s felt this way since Axl was very young. He loves being a father.”
