Josh Duhamel Thanks Late Stepfather for Transforming Their Lives
Josh Duhamel, 51, recently took to Instagram to express his gratitude and love for his late stepfather, George Kemper, during a memorial service in his honor.
Duhamel shared a photo of a tribute flyer from the service, featuring a picture of Kemper and a touching message honoring his significant contributions to the family. He expressed immense admiration for his stepfather’s charismatic personality and infectious laughter.
During his childhood, Duhamel spent most of his time with his mother and sisters after his parents’ divorce. Despite maintaining a relationship with his biological father, he acknowledged that they often had strained interactions following the separation.
Duhamel and his ex-wife, Fergie, have prioritized amicable co-parenting for their son, Axl, drawing lessons from their own parents’ divorce experiences. They emphasized creating a positive and nurturing environment for their child, avoiding the challenges they faced.
Duhamel emphasized the importance of learning from their parents’ mistakes, creating a stable and loving atmosphere for Axl. He and Fergie share a common goal of providing their son with the best possible upbringing, devoid of discomfort or pressure.
In September 2023, Duhamel expressed excitement over becoming a father again with his current wife, Audra Mari. He welcomed his second son, Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel, in January 2024.
Duhamel’s tribute to his late stepfather serves as a testament to the profound impact that positive role models can have on our lives, shaping our values and aspirations.
