Fergie Says She’s ‘Truly Happy’ Ex Josh Duhamel & Wife Audra Mari Are Expecting a Baby

It is possible for exes to remain cool with each other after breaking up — at least, it is for these exes! Fergie was quick to congratulate ex-husband Josh Duhamel and his new wife, Audra Mari, after they announced they are expecting their first child together. The singer was married to the actor from 2009 to 2017, and together they share a son, Axl, who is 10 years old. Josh and Audra started dating in 2019 and married in 2022 after he proposed back in 2020. It’s clear that they have figured out effective ways to co-parent and maintain a good relationship since then, after seeing Fergie's comment on her ex's exciting news.

The couple announced the good news on Instagram.

On Monday, Josh and Audra shared a joint post on Instagram featuring Mari’s hand holding black and white sonogram pictures.

"Baby Duhamel coming soon," she wrote, keeping the announcement short and simple.

How exciting!

It was nice to see Fergie publicly acknowledge the announcement.

Fergie was quick to add her message of congratulations to the growing number of comments.

"I am truly happy for you guys. Axl can’t wait to be a big brother," she wrote, sharing her son’s excitement.

Her reply didn't go unnoticed.

Fans were quick to reply to Fergie’s comment to share their appreciation for her positive example, with one calling her a "class act."

"@fergie you are such a classy beautiful person! Co parenting at its finest," one commenter wrote, while another person added, "this is the sweetest! I love seeing this kind of co-parenting."

Fergie and Josh have always made co-parenting a priority.

Although the former couple have kept their co-parenting journey pretty quiet, there have been some glimpses into what that’s like for them since they went their separate ways.

In fact, during an appearance that Fergie made on The Talk shortly after the couple announced their separation in 2018, she said, "the good thing is we don’t lose each other as parents."

It seems that Axl has a good relationship with Josh's wife.

Josh praised his ex-wife for her ability to co-parent earlier this year. "Fergie, she was very much 'No matter what, we have to be civil for Axl,'" he told Fatherly.

He also explained that it was a big deal for his now-wife to even meet his son. Speaking about Fergie, he said, "She was very adamant about not letting him meet people I was dating until we’d been dating for six months or something."

It appears Audra was able to prove that this was the real deal to Fergie, because last year, Josh told Us Weekly that they "get along great."
