The couple share a 12-year-old son, Axl, and have worked hard to give him a comfortable upbringing that avoids the “awkward or uncomfortable” atmosphere they both experienced with their own parents’ divorces.

Reflecting on their decades-long marriage, Duhamel admitted it took some time to adjust to Fergie’s level of fame, especially since she was a “giant star” selling out stadiums across the globe.
He revealed that their eventual separation was not due to a specific conflict, but rather a case of growing apart as their interests shifted.
