Actor Josh Duhamel and his wife Audra Mari have started the new year in a love bubble, by welcoming their first child together.

The couple took to social media to reveal that their little boy arrived last week, and shared his unique name: Shepherd Lawrence.

The pair revealed in September last year that they were expecting – and Josh’s ex-wife Fergie was one of the first to congratulate the couple.

Josh, 51, and Audra, 30, shared their pregnancy news on Instagram, with an ultrasound photo and the caption: “Baby Duhamel coming soon”.

Little Shepherd is the first baby for the couple, while Josh shares 10-year-old son Axl with ex Fergie. The singer, who was married to Josh for eight years, congratulated her ex by commenting on the Instagram announcement: “I am truly happy for you guys. Axl can’t wait to be a big brother.”

Mari and Josh tied the know last year in a stunning ceremony, after dating since 2019. Fergie and Josh filed for divorce in May 2019, after announcing their separation two years before.
