FERGIE AND JOSH DUHAMEL WELCOME BABY BOY AXL JACK

It’s a boy for Fergie! The Black Eyed Peas singer and husband Josh Duhamel welcomed their first son on Thursday.


Axl Jack Duhamel weighed in at 7 lbs., 10 oz., their rep tells PEOPLE.

The newborn was named after Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns ‘N Roses, one of Fergie’s favorite bands.

They decided to keep the baby’s name under wraps until he was born. “Some people may not like it, some people may think it’s really cool, but we don’t really care—that’s why we’re not telling anybody,” said Duhamel during his appearance on “LIVE with Kelly and Michael.”

According to TMZ, the 38-year-old singer underwent a C-section at an L.A. hospital and is recouping in one of the V.I.P. suites used by celebrities including Kim Kardashian.

PHARRELL OPENS UP ABOUT FIANCÉE, SON, & HITS ON ‘TODAY’

It’s been a blockbuster summer for Pharrell, who’s scored huge hits with Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” and 2 Chainz’ “Feds Watching.” In an interview with the “Today” show, the private producer opened about his personal life and the best song he’s written to date.


He met up with fellow Neptunes producer Chad Hugo in band camp. “Most of us were kinda nerdy. Nobody sort of walked in like Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl cool,” said Pharrell, adding, “By the way, all those guys have chauffeurs now, so [they] got the last laugh.”

One third of the songs in his catalog were written in the shower. “I can write pretty much anywhere, but in the shower it’s like really great,” said the 40-year-old, who revealed that Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” came from his shower sessions.

But his biggest hit did not chart. “The best song that I’ve ever co-written was my son,” he said of Rocket, his little boy with fiancée Helen Lasichanh, who he calls his “bestie.” “Every night’s like a sleepover.”

So what’s next for the music mastermind? “Honestly? It’s … more music,” he said.

Aside from music, Pharrell will guest as a mentor on Rihanna’s fashion reality show “Styled to Rock,” which premieres Nov. 5 on the Style Network.
