Fergie is keeping things friendly with her ex-husband as he expands his family following their divorce. Actor Josh Duhamel’s second wife, 32-year-old Audra Mari, revealed on Instagram that they are expecting their second child together. Mari, who married Duhamel in 2022, shared a series of black-and-white photos Friday showing off her baby bump and wrote, “Adding a little girl to our story… We can’t wait to meet you.” Duhamel, 53, chimed in beneath the post with his own excitement, writing, “Can’t wait to meet that little cutie. Love you momma.” Fergie quickly joined the celebration, liking the post and dropping a cheerful comment: “Welcome the cuteness!” followed by a pair of heart emojis. The pop star and actor finalized their divorce in 2019 but have remained on good terms while co-parenting their 12-year-old son, Axl. Duhamel recently praised the dynamic during a Monday appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, calling Fergie a “great mom” and describing their relationship as “very kind” and “very non-confrontational.” Duhamel and Mari are already parents to a two-year-old son, Shepherd.
