Josh Duhamel has given rare insight into why his marriage with “London Bridge” singer Fergie got here falling down.
The “Protected Haven” actor, 50, confessed Wednesday that the media attention surrounding his relationship with Fergie, 48, was “quite a bit” for him to handle.
“I don’t think I ever really got comfortable with all of it,” the North Dakota native said during an interview on “In Depth With Graham Bensinger.”
“I just missed the simplicity of who I actually am, you already know?” Duhamel continued. “I’m just not a man who’s comfortable going to red carpets, doing all of the Hollywood stuff.”
The Post has contacted reps for Fergie.
Duhamel and Fergie were married from 2009 to 2019. They share a son, Axl Jack, who turned 10 last month.
While they ultimately didn’t work out as lovers, Duhamel still had nothing but great things to say in regards to the Black Eyed peas alum.
“I made peace with that a part of my life. She and I actually have an awesome relationship,” he explained. “There wasn’t anything improper with it. We had an awesome time. I believe we sort of outgrew one another and had very different interests.”
For instance, Duhamel recalled knowing that he desired to move back to North Dakota as he got older, but knew “this shouldn’t be” the best life for the pop star.
“I’ve got no hard feelings for it. I really don’t,” he claimed. “I’m very lucky that she’s a sort human.”
Duhamel has since fulfilled his dream of ditching Los Angeles and heading back home to the Peace Garden State.
“It just took me a protracted time to actually feel like I belong, like I slot in,” Duhamel said of the City of Angels.
“Having this place out here [in North Dakota], really allows me to get back to that child that fell in love with nature. Fell in love with the outside and being creative and just being energetic.”
Duhamel and his wife, Audra Mari, are now expecting their first child together.
“I’m truly blissful for you guys,” Fergie commented on the couple’s Instagram announcement. “Axl can’t wait to be an enormous brother.”
