Fergie and Josh Duhamel Celebrate Son Axl’s 13th Birthday with Rare Family Photos
On Saturday, August 29, Fergie and Josh Duhamel took to social media to celebrate a major milestone: their son, Axl Jack, turned 13. Both parents shared rare, never-before-seen photos of their teenager, marking the occasion with heartfelt messages. The Black Eyed Peas alum, 51, wrote, “🎂🎂 Wow, my teenager,” while the actor, 53, also posted a tribute, expressing his pride and love. The posts offered fans a rare glimpse into their family life, as the former couple typically keeps their son out of the spotlight.
The co-parenting relationship between Fergie and Duhamel has been a topic of interest since their split in 2017. Despite their differences, sources emphasize that they remain on good terms. One insider noted, “Fergie thinks Josh is a great dad and they co-parent really well together.” Another source added, “Fergie is an incredible mother and they co-parent so well, and family for her is super important, but she thrives much better by herself, able to do what she wants to do.” This sentiment was echoed by Duhamel himself during a March 2026 appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, where he acknowledged that while they have “different views of the world,” they maintain “a great relationship.”
Their commitment to co-parenting is evident in their joint celebration of Axl’s birthday. Duhamel has also spoken about the importance of family harmony, noting that he and Fergie’s partner, Mari, get along well. He explained that avoiding conflict within the family is particularly important to him, a value that seems to guide their interactions. The former couple’s ability to put their son first is a testament to their maturity and dedication as parents.
As Axl enters his teenage years, Fergie and Duhamel continue to prioritize his well-being above all else. Their shared celebration of his 13th birthday not only highlights their love for their son but also serves as a positive example of successful co-parenting. While their romantic relationship didn’t work out, their partnership as parents remains strong, proving that family bonds can endure beyond divorce.
