How the exes are managing it
Duhamel — currently busy with gigs like the upcoming series Ransom Canyon — talked last month about keeping things smooth with Fergie and how well she gets along with his wife. He kept it pretty straightforward:
"We have a really good relationship, thankfully. She’s a good person, she’s a good mom."
He added that the whole setup is as civil as it gets, with no bad blood, and that he wants to keep it that way. Judging by the Instagram comments, everyone is walking the walk.
Josh on dad guilt and the job
Back in September 2025, he told Us Weekly he wrestles with the usual working-parent math — he works a lot, he feels guilty about missing time, and he tries to make up for it when he can. At the same time, he wants his kids to see that providing for the family sometimes means long days and long shoots.
He also gave a little behind-the-scenes look at how the job can complicate dad life. If production is in Vancouver or New Mexico, weekend trips home are doable. If it is Cape Town, not so much — you are there or you are not. He credited both Fergie and Audra for helping him stay present and make the logistics work.
