The &#8220;Big Girls Don&#8217;t Cry&#8221; singer filed for divorce in May 2019, nearly two years after she and Duhamel announced their breakup in September 2017. The &#8220;Transformers&#8221; 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 &#8220;Audra Diane Mari Will You Marry Me?&#8221; He captioned the photo saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s on!! She found a message in a bottle that washed ashore and said YES!!&#8221; When asked about wedding planning, Duhamel said that he let Mari take the reigns on it. &#8220;Most of the stuff I don&#8217;t care about,&#8221; he shared. &#8220;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&#8217;t want to be overcome by the moment. I just want to be present and have a great time.&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, an insider close to the couple told People that the actor &#8220;wants more kids and always has so they probably will have kids sooner than later.&#8221; The added saying, &#8220;He&#8217;s not shy about it, but he&#8217;s felt this way since Axl was very young. He loves being a father.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Duhamel and wife Audra Mari recently announced that they are expecting their first child together.
