“I will say, the age thing doesn’t normally come into conversation, but it definitely does when speaking of having babies,” Mari commented. “I really do believe he would have five more kids if he was even 40 right now. It’s probably true. We’ll definitely have a few though. Hopefully, God willing.”
“That’s the hope,” Josh added.

The couple announced that they are expecting their first baby together last month in a joint Instagram post.
In a photo where Mari held ultrasound photos, the caption read: “Baby Duhamel coming soon 🤍.”
Duhamel is already dad to son Axl, 10, whom he shares with ex Fergie. The actor’s son had 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 shared in an interview with Parade.
“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!’ ” the Shotgun Wedding actor 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.”
