Josh Duhamel Craves Cabin Time with Sons for Father’s Day
Brace yourselves—this Father’s Day scoop on Josh Duhamel has me buzzing faster than my morning espresso! The action-hero dad isn’t hunting fancy gadgets or spa days; he’s salivating over two precious things: his sons and serenity at the family cabin. In an exclusive E! News chat, Josh spilled the tea that everything else on June seventeenth takes a backseat to quality father-kid bonding. The Las Vegas alum, currently juggling film sets and brand partnerships, made it crystal clear: “I just hope to be with them all day. That’s the main thing.” Can you blame him? Axl Jack, age eleven, and little Shepherd Lawrence, just seventeen months old, deserve their dad’s full focus.
He admitted that balancing a blockbuster schedule with bedtime stories can be like herding caffeinated squirrels—a real challenge for the fifty-two-year-old. But Josh’s priorities are straight-A: “Reminding myself that being a dad is as important as anything I do professionally.” And duh, he’s teaching by example. The “Ransom Canyon” star keeps reminding himself of lessons learned from his own father: attention, energy and role-model conduct. No pressure, but those boys are watching every move.
Speaking of leading by example, Josh teamed up with Bobcat to donate heavy-duty equipment to L.A. Fire Department Station Eighty-Eight after this spring’s wildfires ravaged California hillsides. According to his chat on SiriusXM’s Jess Cagle Show and his sit-down with Francesca Amiker, he’s beyond proud of his community’s firefighters and wants his sons to grasp the importance of giving back.
Co-parenting with ex-wife Fergie remains on point, too. Despite their split in twenty-seventeen, Josh gushes about how Fergie welcomed his new wife, Audra Mari, into the extended family. He’s repeatedly praised Fergie’s warmth and highlighted how they keep things amicable. And honestly, it paid off—Josh knew Audra was “the one” early on, telling E! News she keeps him grounded and real. The duo married in twenty-twenty-two, and the blended family dynamic seems as cozy as that rustic cabin retreat.
Picture this: marshmallows on a stick, lazy mornings by the lake and impromptu football tosses between dad and kids. That is literally Josh’s dream for June seventeenth. No tech distractions, no red carpet glitz—just unfiltered father-child fun. I’m practically vibrating with excitement over his wholesome plans. Whew! That was a LOT to process! I swear, I could talk about this all day.
