Overview
- Duhamel joked that he is “officially too old” for wife Audra Mari after seeing a picture of himself at 21 holding his infant sister and realizing Mari and his sister are effectively the same age.
- The anecdote was shared during a recent appearance on The HoneyDew With Ryan Sickler podcast and was picked up quickly by multiple entertainment outlets.
- Duhamel, 53, and Mari, 32, were longtime acquaintances who began dating before marrying in 2022 and now have two children together, son Shepherd and daughter Rocca.
- He previously said the relationship started as platonic because of the age gap and noted in earlier interviews that Mari’s maturity, not her age, drew him in; Duhamel also co-parents an older son, Axl, with ex-wife Fergie.
- The episode highlights how casual podcast moments about family and age can be widely amplified and shape public talk about age-gap relationships in celebrities’ private lives.
