Josh Duhamel would love to have a daughter.
Josh Duhamel has two sons
The 52-year-old actor is a proud dad to two sons – Axl, 12, who he has with ex-wife Fergie, and 19-month-old Shepherd, whose mom is his spouse Audra Mari – and he’s keen to have a third child, which he’d particularly like to be a girl.
Praising Audra, 31, as a “great mom”, he told People magazine: “She’s a great role model, and hopefully we have another one. Hopefully a girl, maybe another boy. We’ll see.”
The Off the Grid star cherishes every minute of parenthood.
He gushed: “There’s always something new.
“I just love being a dad. I love every single milestone.”
Josh delights in his sons’ unique personalities and takes pride in their different interests.
He said: “My wife’s father is a big car guy and a collector of cars, and I think that Shepherd is very much like his grandfather.
“He just loves cars, … and all he wants to do is get up in the seat and just pretend like he’s driving. Even if it’s a little tricycle, he wants to get in there and pretend.
“[Axl] doesn’t really care so much [about cars]. He’s more about soccer and basketball stats.
“But that’s the beauty of genetics. They all come out a little bit different.”
The Transformers actor previously admitted he got “very lucky” when he met Audra, who he married in 2022 after three years together.
He told People: “I got very lucky. I met an amazing woman, who just has all the things you look for in a woman.
“She really is just amazing. She’s a great mom, she’s a great role model… and I feel very lucky to have somebody that I get to share (life) with.”
Josh recalled how his romance with the model began while appearing as a guest on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023.
The father-of-two said he slid into her DMs after she’d “won some pageants and stuff” in North Dakota.
He added: “I invited her over to a barbecue one weekend, and she came, and I was like, ‘Wow, you’re beautiful’.”
He then admitted he didn’t think a romance was in the cards due to the pair’s age difference.
Josh went on: “We started dating, and you know, here we are.
“She’s a pretty amazing girl, she really is.”
