The co-parenting arrangement that the "Shotgun Wedding" star and the "Boom Boom Pow" singer, both 48, have with their son originally included some ground rules about Duhamel's dating life before his marriage to Mari.
“Fergie, she was very much, ‘No matter what, we have to be civil for Axl,’” Duhamel told Fatherly in a January interview.
“She was very adamant about not letting him meet people I was dating until we’d been dating for six months or something. Or was it four months? I forget. I dated a couple of girls, and he never got to meet them. Which I’m glad.”
Earlier on September 11, Mari and Josh celebrated their anniversary.
Duhamel shared a picture of their wedding on his Instagram story to mark the occasion.
“Happy year 1 my love. You are just the best. “I love you so much.” Duhamel wrote.
"Happy First Anniversary sweet man. oh, how I prayed for you.." Mari said beside a photo from their wedding ceremony on her Instagram.
Nine months before their wedding, the pair became engaged.
