Fergie and Josh Duhamel’s Post-Divorce Relationship, Revealed

Quick catch-up: Fergie and Josh Duhamel are that rare post-divorce duo who kept things boring in the best way. They split nearly a decade ago, and somehow landed on the same page about their kid, their new lives, and yes, each other. Here is how it all shook out and where things stand now.

The quick timeline

• Aug 2013: They welcome son Axl Jack.
• Sep 2017: After eight years of marriage, they separate.
• Nov 2019: Divorce finalized.
• Sep 2022: Josh marries former Miss World America Audra Mari.
• 2024: Josh and Audra welcome son Shepherd.
• Mar 2026: Josh and Audra announce baby No. 2 is on the way, and it is a girl.

How they handled the split (and kept it human)

Back in 2017, when the breakup was still fresh, Fergie went on The Wendy Williams Show and got honest about how hard it was. She wanted the marriage to last and made it clear she still loved Josh because, above all, he is Axl's dad.

'It wasn’t my plan. I wanted to stay married forever. I love Josh; he’s the father of my child.'

Fast-forward to 2023, and the tone had shifted to something healthier. When Josh and Audra announced they were expecting their first child together, Fergie jumped into the comments to cheer them on, saying she was truly happy for them and that Axl could not wait to be a big brother. Again, not the usual tabloid script, but here we are.

Josh in 2026: reflective, a little candid, and pretty complimentary

In March 2026, Josh did the podcast rounds and talked about all of this with minimal drama. On The Skinny Confidential, the 'Ransom Canyon' star called Fergie a great mom and said they genuinely get along. He also said Fergie and Audra do too, which is the part that usually implodes for famous people.

'We have a good relationship. She and Audra have a great relationship.'

He also got into why the marriage ended. In his words, they are just very different people with very different worldviews. No regrets, no cheap shots, just the acknowledgment that they share a beautiful son and moved on. On The Megyn Kelly Show, he went a bit deeper about the dynamics back then: marrying Fergie at the peak of her fame was a huge adjustment, and he felt like he was in her shadow at times. He pinned a lot of that on his own ego, not on her.

Where things stand right now

Audra announced in March 2026 that baby No. 2 is a girl. Fergie showed up again in the comments with a simple, sweet note:

'Welcome the cuteness! 💖💖'

Meanwhile, Josh keeps reiterating the same message: he and Fergie parent Axl smoothly, he is happily married to Audra, their son Shepherd arrived in 2024, and they have a daughter on the way. And the triangle at the center of all of this is, somehow, chill.

'It could be ugly but, thankfully, it’s not.'

Honestly, this is the blueprint: two exes who will never be best friends again, but are clearly on the same team. No fireworks, no subtweets, just everyone showing up for the kids and moving forward like adults. Wild concept, I know.
