Transformers star Josh Duhamel has revealed he "cannot wait to meet" his daughter after revealing his wife Audra Mari is pregnant with a baby girl.
Josh Duhamel "cannot wait to meet" his daughter.
The 53-year-old actor's beauty queen wife Audra Mari, 32, recently confirmed the couple are expecting a daughter - adding the first little girl to the family after they previously welcomed a son named Shepherd, who was born in 2024, while Josh is also dad to Axl, 12, with his first wife Fergie.
Now the Transformers star has shared his excitement as he prepares to become a first-time "girl dad". During an appearance on E! News, Josh said: "I don't know what to make of it.
"I'm just so [excited] ... I cannot wait to meet her. And I think there's something about dads and their little girls. It's different, you know?"
Audra confirmed the couple's baby news earlier this month when she shared a series of pictures to Instagram and wrote: "Adding a little girl to our story.. We can’t wait to meet you."
The news baby news came just days after Josh opened up about the couple's relationship prior to their marriage in 2022 - revealing they first met during a barbecue at his house and he ruled out dating her because of the 21-year age gap between them.
Josh made the confession during an appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, saying: "We had a barbecue at my house .. "She and I had been in contact because I knew she was from North Dakota, she'd done really, really well in Miss USA [beauty pageant]. I wasn't even inviting her because I wanted to date her because she was too young for me to be honest.
"I wasn't looking for [that]. I'm not going to be that dude. So I invited her and she comes to the door and I'm like: 'Holy s***. [She's] so beautiful.'
"I was still like: 'No, no, no'."
However, Josh was won over by Audra after seeing the way she interacted with the children at the barbecue - admitting she came across as "really wholesome" and reminded him of "home".
He added: "I remember her taking care of these kids at the party, making sure they had enough [to eat] and I was like that reminds me of home and the kind of girl I want to really be with.
"And I'd gone through a couple of relationships with girls here in LA and it just wasn't the same. There's something really wholesome about it and I think that was when I was like: 'Maybe she's not too young' ... Maybe I am that dude. I don't know. "
He went on to add: "[Now] we have a two year old ... [We've been married for] three years and we've been together for like seven ... "
