“There’s always something new,” Duhamel, who has partnered with CarGurus for the company’s new video series, The Big Deal Show, says.

“My wife’s father is a big car guy and a collector of cars, and I think that Shepherd is very much like his grandfather,” he says. “He just loves cars, … and all he wants to do is get up in the seat and just pretend like he’s driving. Even if it’s a little tricycle, he wants to get in there and pretend.”
Axl, meanwhile, “doesn’t really care so much” about cars in the same way his other family members do, Duhamel says.
“He’s more about soccer and basketball stats,” he continues, adding: “But that’s the beauty of genetics. They all come out a little bit different.”
And while the Off the Grid star enjoys being a boy dad — he’d love having a little girl of his own just as much.
Speaking about wife Mari, 31, and how she is “a great mom,” Duhamel admits, “She’s a great role model, and hopefully we have another one. Hopefully a girl, maybe another boy. We’ll see.”
