Duhamel is already dad to son Axl, whom he shares with ex Fergie. The actor’s sonhad a sweet reaction to hearing he’s going to be a big brother. “He’s like, ‘Wait, now, am I going to be — You’re still going to love me, though, too, right?’ ” Duhamel said in an interview withParade.
“I was like, ‘Of course, I’m going to still love you.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m still going to be your firstborn son, though, right?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re still the firstborn son!’ ” theShotgun Weddingactor added.
“He’s a really sweet kid. And he loves babies!” the father said. “I was the same way at his age. I just have always loved babies. There’s something about them. And he’s really good with younger kids. So I think he’s going to be a great older brother.”

Last month, Duhamel appeared onLive with Kelly and Markand discussed his second run with fatherhood and how Axl feels about his growing family.
“Does Axl know?” Ripa, 52, asked.
“He does know! He’s excited,” Duhamel admitted. “He’s very excited. I don’t think he quite understands that it’s actually real. He will once he sees this little thing in front of him. I think I’m probably the same.”
“Yeah, I think it’s going to be good for him because he’s been an only child up to this point,” Duhamel continued. “And now he’s going to have some responsibility. He’s excited. He’s going to be a great older brother, too. He’s a really sweet-natured kid who loves babies, so I think this is kind of perfect.”
