Josh Duhamel, the beloved actor known for his roles in Transformers, Las Vegas, and Life as We Know It, has just shared heartwarming news that has fans buzzing: he and his wife, model and former Miss World America Audra Mari, are expecting their first child together.
The announcement, which came via a touching Instagram post on Josh’s official account, featured a black-and-white ultrasound photo with the simple but emotional caption: “Baby Duhamel coming soon. Can’t wait to meet you, little one.” The post was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and celebrity friends alike.
This joyful news marks a significant milestone in the couple’s relationship, which has blossomed steadily since they first began dating in 2019. Josh, now 51, and Audra, 30, tied the knot in September 2022 in an intimate ceremony held in their home state of North Dakota — a celebration that was praised for its simplicity and deep emotional resonance.
For Josh, this isn’t the first time he’s stepped into fatherhood. He shares a 10-year-old son, Axl Jack, with his ex-wife, singer Fergie. Since their amicable separation in 2017, Josh has remained a devoted father and has spoken openly in interviews about the joys and challenges of parenting. With the arrival of this new baby, Duhamel is embracing a new chapter as a seasoned dad — this time alongside Audra, who will be experiencing motherhood for the first time.
Sources close to the couple say that both Josh and Audra are “over the moon” with excitement and are already preparing for the arrival of their little one. “They’ve been wanting to expand their family for a while now, and this baby is a true blessing,” said a family friend. “Josh is thrilled to be going through this journey again, and Audra is glowing with happiness.”
In past interviews, Duhamel has been candid about his desire to have more children, noting that family is incredibly important to him. In one 2018 interview, he said, “I want to have more kids in the next few years. That’s really important to me. I’m not getting any younger, so it’s about time.” Now, it seems his dream is coming true — and fans couldn’t be happier.
Audra, who has largely kept a low profile in the public eye, has reportedly been focusing on her health, enjoying the early stages of her pregnancy, and spending quiet time with Josh and Axl. The couple has been spotted on several low-key outings in Los Angeles, radiating the kind of calm joy that comes with expectant parenthood.
Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the announcement, with many expressing excitement at the idea of seeing Josh Duhamel as a “girl dad” or welcoming another little boy into his world. On Twitter, one fan wrote, “Josh Duhamel is going to be a dad again?! That baby is going to have genetics on their side — and one amazing family.” Another commented, “So happy for Josh and Audra. Love seeing him find happiness again.”
What makes this announcement especially meaningful is the deep love and stability Josh and Audra seem to share. Their relationship, though relatively private, has always projected a sense of genuine affection and mutual respect. And now, with a baby on the way, their bond appears stronger than ever.
As Hollywood continues to churn out breakups and scandals, stories like Josh and Audra’s remind us that sometimes, true love finds a way — and that joy, family, and new beginnings still matter most. While they haven’t revealed the baby’s due date or gender yet, one thing is certain: Baby Duhamel will be welcomed into a home filled with warmth, love, and lots of laughter.
Congratulations to Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari on this exciting new journey! Fans everywhere are eagerly awaiting the newest member of the Duhamel family — and the beginning of this beautiful new chapter.
