During the March 25 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the actor spoke warmly about his ex-wife, even though the couple has since divorced.
Duhamel and Fergie were married from 2009 to 2019, and they share a son, Axl Jack Duhamel.
Looking back on that period, Duhamel said: “It was a huge shift [in my life] because she was a massive star at the time and so it was a big adjustment for me, if I’m being honest.
“But, you know, Fergie is a very normal person, at the end of the day. A good mom. We have a great relationship. She and my wife [Audra Mari] actually get along great.”
Kelly also asked whether the imbalance in fame played any role in difficulties within the relationship.
Duhamel replied: “Yeah probably, It’s probably my own ego more than anything. I don’t think it bugged her as much as it probably did me. But she was a massive star at the time.”
He also acknowledged that he often felt overshadowed by his former spouse.
Despite that, Duhamel emphasized that he and Fergie have maintained a steady dynamic as they raise their son together.

The actor continued: “We parent our son, Axl. She’s a great mom. I’m extremely happily married now to my wife, Audra. We have a beautiful son and a little girl on the way. [Audra and Fergie] have a great relationship, which is what I really care about.
“I want to make sure everybody is just copacetic. I just want peace and I don’t want any in-fighting between anybody. They’ve been very civil, thankfully, in the way they approach this thing. … It could be ugly but, thankfully, it’s not.”
While he doesn’t often discuss their past, Duhamel has praised Fergie’s parenting before.
On a March episode of The Skinny Confidential podcast, he said: “Fergie is also very wholesome, believe it or not. Especially since she sort of stepped away from it all.
“She’s a great mom. Very kind, very nonconfrontational, thank God. We have a good relationship. She and Audra have a great relationship.”
