I don’t know.” His admiration for Mari grew as he observed her interactions with children, further solidifying their bond.
Fergie, Duhamel’s ex-wife, also commented on the announcement of their daughter, saying, “Welcome the cuteness!” This supportive sentiment highlights the amicable relationship Duhamel maintains with Fergie as they co-parent their son Axl.
