Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari Welcome First Child, Son Shepherd Lawrence!
Los Angeles, CA – Actor Josh Duhamel and his wife, model Audra Mari, are celebrating a joyous new chapter as they’ve officially welcomed their first child together! The happy couple announced the arrival of their son, Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel, in a heartfelt joint Instagram post on Tuesday, bringing an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
The sweet announcement featured an adorable photo of their newborn’s tiny feet, a classic and heartwarming way for new parents to share their news. The accompanying caption proudly declared: “Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel 1/11/24 🤍.” This confirms their precious baby boy made his debut on January 11, 2024. The simplicity of the post, yet its profound meaning, resonated deeply with their followers.
Shepherd marks the first child for both Duhamel and Mari. The couple famously tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in North Dakota in September 2022, a significant milestone that led to this latest joy.

At the time, Mari delighted her Instagram followers with a photo of a sonogram, simply captioned, “Baby Duhamel coming soon 🤍,” sparking anticipation for the newest addition to their family.
For Duhamel, this is his second experience with fatherhood. He is also a proud dad to 10-year-old son, Axl Jack, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Fergie. The addition of Shepherd brings even more love, laughter, and joy to the Duhamel household, completing their family in the most wonderful way. Fans are eagerly awaiting more glimpses of the new baby and hearing about the couple’s adventures in parenthood.
