In March, Duhamelopened up about Axl, saying that he “finally” enjoys sports. “Does my son play sports? He’s starting to get into it finally. I didn’t think he was ever going to get into it, but he really loves basketball now,” Duhamel exclusively told PEOPLE.
“He likes to throw the football around with me a little bit. I try not to be overbearing with him in sports, but I try to let him find it rather than me push it on him,” he continued.
“It’s taken him a long time and it’s actually been a little bit frustrating, ‘cause I was thinking he was going to be like me, but he’s getting there. He likes it.”
