Go Beavers! <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Warming up on the sideline. And I remember looking up at the stands, and I see my mom and [she] has this bump. And I\u2019m like, \u2018What the\u2014 Is my mom pregnant?\u2019 &#8230; I was 21 years old &#8230; and she\u2019s having another baby. And I was like, \u2018Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me!\u2019 So, now we love it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>The Win a Date with Tad Hamilton star then told how there is a photo of him at 21 holding the &#8220;little bitty infant&#8221; Kassidy.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe laughed as he recalled: \u201cI looked at the photo, and I looked at my wife, and I said, \u2018You know, you and Kassidy are exactly the same age.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;[I thought] &#8216;Is that a highlight or a lowlight? I\u2019m not sure&#8217;.   [I told Audra], &#8216;Ooof, I am officially too old for you\u2019 &#8230; They\u2019re literally like months apart in age. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I never looked at it like that until I saw that photo. I was like, \u2018Wait a second.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Ransom Canyon star &#8211; who has Axl, 12, with ex-wife Fergie, and Shepherd, two, and Rocca, two months, with his spouse &#8211; recently admitted he initially ruled out dating Audra because he thought she was &#8220;too young&#8221; for him but she soon changed his mind.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on The Skinny Confidential podcast, he said: &#8220;We had a barbecue at my house .. &#8220;She and I had been in contact because I knew she was from North Dakota, she&#8217;d done really, really well in Miss USA [beauty pageant]. I wasn&#8217;t even inviting her because I wanted to date her because she was too young for me to be honest. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t looking for [that]. I&#8217;m not going to be that dude. So I invited her and she comes to the door and I&#8217;m like: &#8216;Holy s***. [She&#8217;s] so beautiful.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I was still like: &#8216;No, no, no&#8217;.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Josh was won over by Audra after seeing the way she interacted with the children at the barbecue &#8211; admitting she came across as &#8220;really wholesome&#8221; and reminded him of &#8220;home&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;I remember her taking care of these kids at the party, making sure they had enough [to eat] and I was like that reminds me of home and the kind of girl I want to really be with. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And I&#8217;d gone through a couple of relationships with girls here in LA and it just wasn&#8217;t the same. There&#8217;s something really wholesome about it and I think that was when I was like: &#8216;Maybe she&#8217;s not too young&#8217; &#8230; Maybe I am that dude. I don&#8217;t know. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/josh-duhamel-recalls-realising-old-wife-1447718.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 July 2026 Josh Duhamel has shared the moment he realised he was &#8220;too old&#8221; for his wife.
