Josh Duhamel Welcomes Baby No. 3, His 2nd With Wife Audra Mari

Josh Duhamel has transformed into a dad of three.

Actor Josh Duhamel and his wife, Audra Mari, recently welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Rocca de Leon Duhamel. The couple are also parents to their 2-year-old son, Shepherd.

As Josh captioned a carousel of photos shared to Instagram May 16, “Our baby girl is here.”

In a sweet photo, Josh—who also shares 12-year-old son Axl with his ex-wife, Fergie—is seen helping his young son meet his new baby sister. The toddler is completely captivated by her!

In a sweet moment captured in another photo, 53-year-old Josh showed how protective he is of his daughter, holding her close while taking a selfie.

No baby announcement is complete without a celebration! The Ransom Canyon actor also posted some pictures of himself celebrating with champagne to honor the new arrival.

Josh and Audra, who got married in 2022, announced in March that they are expecting their second child. They shared black-and-white photos of Audra’s baby bump with the news.

Audra, 32, announced on Instagram that she and her partner are expecting a baby girl, writing, ‘We can’t wait to meet you!’

For his part, Josh wrote in the comments, “Can’t wait to meet that little cutie. Love you momma.”

Fergie, who has often spoken about her good relationship with Josh as they co-parent, also shared her happiness about their growing blended family.

As she added in the post’s comments section, “Welcome the cuteness.”

Josh previously shared that he relocated his family to Minnesota so his children could have a more private upbringing. Despite a demanding career in the entertainment industry, he considers being a father his most important role.

He shared with Us Weekly last September that reflecting on his parenting helped him identify areas for improvement. He admitted he feels guilty about working so much and not being present as often as he’d like, so he makes an effort to go above and beyond when he is with his kids.

But at the end of the day, he also knows he’s teaching his little ones important work ethic.

Josh explained that parents want their children to understand the effort it takes to support a family. He pointed out a difficult balance: being present to set a good example of hard work, while also potentially missing important moments that a parent with a traditional workday might be able to attend.

He added, “It’s a constant struggle in this business. It’s not easy.”

Reading to young children when they’re in preschool helps them become better readers in kindergarten and elementary school, and it also makes them more excited about reading and learning in general.
