Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari have announced the arrival of their son, Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel, bringing joy and excitement to their family. The “Transformers” star, aged 50, and his wife shared the heartwarming news on Instagram with an adorable photo of their baby’s feet. Born on January 11, Shepherd is Duhamel’s second child, joining his 10-year-old brother Axl, whom Duhamel shares with ex Fergie.
In a recent interview with Parade, Duhamel revealed Axl’s touching response to becoming a big brother. Axl’s initial concern about maintaining his father’s affection and his status as the firstborn son was met with reassuring words from Duhamel, who affirmed his unwavering love and pride. The actor praised Axl’s sweet nature and his affinity for babies, confident that he will excel in his role as an older sibling.
Duhamel had previously opened up about his and Mari’s aspirations for a larger family in an appearance on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger.” While acknowledging that his perspective on having numerous children has evolved with age, Mari expressed their shared desire to have more kids, hoping for a few more, God willing.
The couple, who tied the knot in September 2022, embarks on this new journey of parenthood with excitement and optimism. Duhamel’s joy in embracing fatherhood once again is evident, as the family welcomes little Shepherd into their lives.
