Josh Duhamel and Audra Mari have welcomed a new bundle of joy to their family, son Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel.

The "Transformers" actor, 51, and his wife confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Tuesday with a photo of the new baby's feet.

Mari, 30, captioned the photo with her son's name and birthdate, Jan. 11.

The former Miss World America and "Shotgun Wedding" actor married in 2022. The couple confirmed their recent nuptials on Instagram in September 2022, with each of them posting a dreamy photo of the bride and groom.

"What an amazing day," Duhamel wrote at the time. "I feel so lucky to have so many great friends, a supporting family, and now a wife that makes it all that much better. I love you babe."

For Mari, the ceremony was nothing short of perfection.

"Everything I dreamed of as a little girl," Mari captioned her post. "I'M MARRIED!!"

During an appearance on the "Armchair Expert" podcast in December 2018, the Emmy-winning actor told host Dax Shepard he was looking to settle down with someone he could expand his family with.

"I'm not 30 years old anymore. I'm 45. I want to have more kids in the next few years," Duhamel said. "I'm trying to find a girl that I can be with and have a family with."

Duhamel shares a 10-year-old son, Axl Jack, with ex-wife Fergie. The couple announced their split in September 2017 after eight years of marriage and finalized their divorce in 2019.

Duhamel spoke to USA TODAY about his positive co-parenting relationship with Fergie in September.

"It was really important both for she and I to make sure that we put aside (our) differences for his benefit. Fergie has been great," Duhamel said. "She's a really good mom to Axl, and we just have a good working relationship as far as raising our son together. I'm actually really, really lucky because I've seen cases that aren't like that."
