In September of 2017, Josh Duhamel and Fergie broke up after eight years together and now, the father of a five-year-old son he shares with the singer is looking for someone new, but it's the requirement he has for that new woman that has a lot of people shaking their heads. The actor appeared on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast this week and revealed, "I'm not 30 years old anymore. I'm 45. I want to have more kids...in the next few years. So it's more about finding someone young enough to have kids."
He went on to say, "I like the action, I like the chase, I like all that stuff. I think it's genetic, I think it's primal for us to have that. There's certain people that you see and you just want. It's not always the most beautiful person, people have, there's something that happens and often times, those people that you have that for, don't have it for you."
Josh added, "It's not as if I am out there trying to just f**k anything. I want to find a girl that I can be with and have a family with. Because, Fergie and I have a great relationship. I love that girl and I always will. Unfortunately, we didn't work, but I will always have her back and she is the mother of my baby."
It was all a little too much for a lot of people, who had plenty to say when news broke about the comments Duhamel, who is actually 46, made:
Of course, there were plenty of people who were still open to being with the actor, if he'd have them:
Josh has made it clear that he wants a lot of kids. Fergie told E! News a few years ago that when she was with Duhamel, they "negotiated early on to have two kids, because he said he wanted five," and on their second or third date, she let him know "My limit is two.'"
