Fergie sent her best wishes to her ex-husband, Josh Duhamel, after he welcomed his second baby with wife Audra Mari.
“Rocca de Leon Duhamel,” Duhamel, 53, and Mari, 32, wrote in a joint Instagram post on Saturday, May 17, sharing snaps of their newborn daughter. “Our baby girl is here 🤍🕊️.”
Fergie, 51, was one of the first people to celebrate the newborn’s arrival in the comments section, succinctly replying with the emojis, “🎀🎀💗💗.”
Fergie and Duhamel were married from 2009 to 2017, during which period they welcomed 12-year-old son Axl. (Duhamel and Mari later said “I do” in 2022, welcoming son Shepherd in 2024.)
Ever since Fergie’s divorce from the Ransom Canyon actor, they have worked hard to amicably coparent Axl.
“We have a really good relationship, thankfully. She’s a good person, she’s a good mom,” Duhamel said on the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast last month. “Thankfully, she and my wife have a good relationship.”
He continued, “It’s as good as it could possibly be, thankfully. It’s very civil. There’s not any sort of hostility between anybody. So, that’s really all I care about and I’d like to keep it that way.”
Duhamel and Mari announced in March that they were expecting baby No. 2, which Fergie also celebrated.
“Welcome the cuteness! 💖💖,” Fergie wrote via Instagram comment at the time.
As for Duhamel, he is always working on becoming the best possible dad to his kids as he can.
“I work a lot, and I often have a lot of guilt about not being there as often as I could be. So I try to maybe overcompensate or do things to be there often,” the actor exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2025. “But at the same time, you want your kid to look and see [that] this is what you have to do to provide for your family.”

Duhamel added at the time, “On the one hand, you can’t be there all the time, because you’ve got to be setting an example, but on the other hand, you might be missing out on life moments that you’d [be there for] if you were a 9 to 5 dad who went to work every day and came home. So it’s a constant struggle in this business. It’s not easy.”
Duhamel further praised both Fergie and Mari with helping him stay present.
“We all have to work together to make sure that this thing works,” he told Us. “If you’re in Vancouver or New Mexico, it’s one thing. But when you’re in Cape Town, there’s no going back and forth on the weekends. You’re either there you’re not. It’s a struggle.”
