Fergie Gets Emotional Over Axl Becoming a Teenager

Fergie, 51, celebrated Axl’s birthday on Instagram with photos from different stages of his life.

Her post included childhood memories as well as more recent pictures. One recent image showed Axl standing beside his mother, highlighting just how much he has grown.

The singer described the moment as emotional. She said watching her only son enter his teenage years made her feel as though the world was shifting around them.

Fergie also focused on Axl’s personality rather than simply the milestone. She expressed pride in the young person he is becoming and wished him a happy 13th birthday.

Josh Duhamel Shares His Own Birthday Tribute

Josh Duhamel, 53, also celebrated Axl’s birthday on social media.

The actor shared a separate collection of older photographs featuring his son. The pictures offered fans a look back at Axl’s early years and childhood.

Duhamel reflected on how quickly the years had passed. He also praised Axl’s character, describing him as a kind, compassionate and thoughtful child.

For Duhamel, the birthday marked another major step in his eldest son’s journey into adolescence.

Axl Jack Duhamel Has Grown Up in the Public Eye

Axl Jack was born on August 29, 2013, to Fergie and Josh Duhamel.

His parents were married in 2009 and announced their separation in 2017. Their divorce was finalised in 2019.

Although the former couple went their separate ways, they have continued to share a family connection through Axl. Their approach to co-parenting has also remained a subject of public interest over the years.

Fergie has regularly marked Axl’s birthdays online, giving followers occasional glimpses into his childhood while keeping much of his life away from the spotlight.

Her 2025 birthday tribute, for example, focused on how independent and kind he was becoming as he approached his teenage years.

Axl Is Part of a Growing Blended Family

Axl is also a big brother.

Following his divorce from Fergie, Duhamel married Audra Mari in 2022. The couple welcomed their son Shepherd in 2024 and later welcomed daughter Rocca de Leon in 2026.

That has made Axl part of an expanding blended family.

Duhamel has previously spoken positively about the relationship between Fergie and Mari. In recent comments, he described his relationship with Fergie as good and emphasised that the two women have a positive relationship.

Fergie also publicly congratulated Duhamel and Mari after the arrival of their daughter earlier this year.

Axl’s Birthday Celebration Included Family Time

The birthday celebrations were not limited to social media.

Duhamel was also seen spending time with Axl and his family at Universal Studios Hollywood shortly before the teenager’s birthday. Photos from the outing showed Duhamel with his wife Audra Mari, their son Shepherd and Axl.

The family outing offered another glimpse into the blended family dynamic surrounding Axl’s milestone birthday.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel Put Their Son First

Axl’s 13th birthday comes nearly a decade after Fergie and Duhamel announced their separation.

Despite moving into different chapters of their personal lives, both parents continue to publicly celebrate their son’s milestones.

Their latest birthday tributes were less about celebrity life and more about watching a child grow up. Fergie’s emotional message and Duhamel’s proud reflection both centred on Axl and the person he is becoming.

Now officially a teenager, Axl Jack Duhamel is entering a new stage of life with support from both of his parents and a growing blended family around him.
