In celebration of her son Axl Jack Duhamel’s 10th birthday, Fergie shared a slideshow filled with throwback photos taken from different moments of his childhood. Not only has the Black Eyed Peas member’s little boy grown so much since we last saw him, but he is starting to look more and more like his mom every day. 

Earlier this week, the “Glamorous” singer, 48, posted the celebratory post on her Instagram page. The first slide features a black-and-white photograph of her son grinning ever so slightly into the camera while sporting a white collared shirt. 

The second pic shows the birthday boy playfully making a startled expression. In the caption, Fergie wrote, “To my caring, funny, outgoing, loving, smart, talkative, creative superhero enthusiast. Happy 10th birthday punky!!! I love you, Axl Jack,” alongside birthday cake emojis.

Her followers flooded the comments section with happy birthday wishes, with one person writing, “Can’t believe he is 10!!! Happy birthday little one.” Another said, “Happy birthday!!! It happened so fast!!”

To keep the celebration going, Josh Duhamel (who is Fergie’s ex-husband) posted a birthday tribute of his own on his IG page. In honor of the celebratory occasion, the 50-year-old actor shared a video of himself giving his son a special shoutout on the CBS News station in Minnesota. 

“So my son turns 10 today, Aug. 29,” the Shotgun Wedding star said in the snippet. “He’s not with me, obviously. He’s back in California. So I’d really appreciate it if everybody could sing him happy birthday.”

As for the caption, Duhamel wrote, “Happy 10th birthday buddy boy. Love you kid.”

Happy birthday, Axl!
