From Pageants to "I Do" — Meet Josh Duhamel's Gorgeous Second Wife, Audra Mari!

Remember when Josh Duhamel was married to Fergie? Good times... although apparently not for them, because the couple divorced in 2019. However, the Ransom Canyon star has since moved on with a new woman and, in fact, tied the knot for a second time in 2022.

The new Mrs. Duhamel is named Audra Mari! Here's what you need to know about the woman who stole this heartthrob's heart and crushed the dreams of hopeless romantics everywhere who may have hoped for a chance with the hunky star.

Although once upon a time, Josh and Fergie said they planned to renew their wedding vows annually, that ship has sailed. It seems the duo moved on amicably, perhaps in large part because the former spouses share one child, Axl. Now, Audra is officially the little one's stepmother, having said "I do" to the Shotgun Wedding actor in the fall of 2022.

Their romance kicked off in 2019, and Josh revealed during a September 2023 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark that he slid into her DMs after she "won some pageants."

He confessed that he wasn't sure romance was in the cards at first, mainly due to their age gap. But once they met in person, everything clicked — and the rest, as they say, is history.

At the time they first got together, fans weren't sure who Audra was — but they have since found out that she has a pretty impressive resume of her own. Josh's other half is a beauty pageant pro and won titles such as Miss North Dakota Teen USA and Miss World America, per Page Six.

In January of 2022, the Safe Haven star asked Audra to be his wife, announcing his happy news on Instagram. Incidentally, Fergie congratulated the pair in the comments section.

In September of that year, Audra officially became Josh's wife. The couple documented how joyful they feel about the union, with Josh saying about their wedding day, "What an amazing day. I feel so lucky to have so many great friends, a supporting family, and now a wife that makes it all that much better. I love you, babe." For her part, Audra gushed about the nuptials, "I just want to do it again and again."

In September 2023, a little over a year after exchanging vows, Josh and Audra Duhamel announced they were expecting their first child together! The lovebirds shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a photo of a sonogram alongside the caption, "Baby Duhamel coming soon 🤍."

Throughout her pregnancy, Audra shared sweet moments on social media, glowing with excitement about becoming a mom.

On Jan. 11, 2024, her dream of being a mother became reality when she gave birth to her and Josh's baby boy, Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel. The couple confirmed his arrival on Instagram with a heartwarming black-and-white photo of his tiny feet.

As of now, it's uncertain whether the Duhamels plan to grow their family further. But back in December 2018, during an appearance on Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, Josh openly expressed his hopes of having more children.

"I'm not 30 years old anymore. I'm 45. I want to have more kids in the next few years," he explained.
