With Audra Mari, Josh Duhamel has discovered a “safe haven.”
In September 2022, the romantic comedy actor wed the model, who is 21 years his junior.
Here is all the information you require regarding Duhamel’s new spouse.
Mari, who is 28 years old, has won top honours in a number of pageantry competitions.
She was Miss North Dakota Teen USA in 2011 and finished as the first runner-up in the Miss Teen USA competition. Then, in 2014, she was crowned Miss North Dakota USA and again placed first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant that year’s finals.
Mari was crowned Miss World America in 2016, and later that year, she finished sixth at the Miss World competition.
On social media, Mari frequently looks back fondly on her pageant days.
“Miss USA was so much more than a pageant for me, it got me that much closer to the Audra I’m intended to be,” she wrote in a post from May 2019.
Mari has transitioned from pageantry to modelling jobs and independent TV hosting.
Early in 2019, Duhamel and Mari were first seen together, although little was known about their new romance at the time. Sources told “Entertainment Tonight” that the couple had been “dating casually” for a few months before “recently deciding to be more serious” after engaging in PDA at an airport in October of that year.
Josh and Audra got along fairly well after meeting through common acquaintances, an insider told the publication. The two get along well and have similar ideas about what they want their future to include.
Duhamel and Mari made their engagement public in January 2022. On a piece of paper with burned edges that was given as a “message in a bottle,” the “Transformers” star proposed.
“It’s on!!
After the seaside proposal, Duhamel posted a picture of him and Mari grinning. “She read a note in a bottle that had washed up on the shore and replied, “YES!! ”
On September 10, 2022, Duhamel, 49, and Mari were married in the bride’s native Fargo, North Dakota.
After exchanging vows at Olivet Lutheran Church, the “Battle Creek” actor and the brunette beauty were spotted leaving the church together in a classic red Cadillac convertible.
They got hitched in January 2009, went their separate ways in September 2017, and divorced in November 2019. Axl, a 9-year-old son, is shared by the former soap opera star and the Black Eyed Peas musician.
Mari doesn’t seem to have had any prior marriages.
