Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari have an age gap of 21 years

Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari have been married for a year now. However, their age difference has also grabbed the attention of the netizens multiple times since Mari is 21 years younger than Duhamel.

The duo has always ignored what people have said about their age gap. Audra also shared an Instagram video on Halloween last year, posing with Duhamel. The caption stated:

"What age difference? Ladies and gentleman Anna Nicole Smith & J. Howard Marshall."

Before getting married to Audra, Josh had injured his back while he was on a bus returning from a rehearsal dinner. He said his family members were making fun of him at the time, blaming his age for the injury.

Speaking to InStyle magazine at the time, he said:

"I tried to hold onto one of those bars inside those buses and do a Russian gymnast and stick my feet straight out, and I did something to my lower back. I literally couldn't move the next morning. I could not get out of bed."

He had to be taken to the hospital, and after getting an anti-inflammatory injection and pain-killing drugs, he was back to normal.
