He also said that he couldn't "handle" the spotlight when they were a couple.
"I don't think I ever really got comfortable with all of it," he said, "I'm just not a guy who is comfortable going to red carpets. Doing all the Hollywood stuff."
The couple married in 2009 and were together for eight years before their divorce.
It got to a point where Duhamel, 50, missed the simplicity of his life, having grown up living a quiet life in North Dakota whilst Fergie, 48, was used to the "glamourous" life of Southern California.
He attempted to persuade the Fergalicious singer to move back to his hometown with him, but realised it wouldn't be right for her, and so they decided to split.
"I've got no hard feelings for it. I truly don't," he said, "I'm very lucky that she's a kind human."
The pair were married for eight years before splitting in 2017. They currently co-parent their son Axl, 10.
The couple married in 2009.
