Josh Duhamel spotted without his wedding ring as he takes son to karate class in Los Angeles after split from wife Fergie
The dad-of-one is seen for the first time since announcing his marriage was over
JOSH Duhamel has been spotted without his wedding ring, for the first time since announcing his shock split from wife Fergie.
The couple broke the news this week that they had gone their separate ways.
The Hollywood hunk has now been seen without his wedding band on, as he took their four-year-old son Axl to a karate lesson.
Josh, 44, looked downcast as he strolled along an LA street with his cute little boy.
Dressed in jeans and t-shirt, the actor wore a baseball cap to try and hide his face.
On Thursday the couple released a joint statement to confirm their split, where they revealed they actually split up "months ago";.
The pair started dating in September, 2004 and married in Malibu in January, 2009.
In a statement released to People magazine, they said: "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year.
"To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public.
"We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."

It has been months since the couple have been pictured together but they celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary back in January.
Josh publicly marked the milestone by sharing a family picture on Instagram and writing: "8 years!! Love you babe."
Fergie, 42, was most recently seen in Brazil on Wednesday as she promotes her new album Double Dutchess.
The former Black Eyed Peas star also quashed rumours that the couple were expecting their second child.
She told he told 103.5 KTU last week: "I've heard so many rumours about all of that. I have no idea what's in the future."
Their shock split is one of many surprising celebrity separations over the past year.
In September 2016 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their divorce while Anna Faris and Chris Prat broke hearts this summer with their separation.
