28-year-old Single dad Wayne Skivington seems to have found the right balance between fatherhood and his busy career as a Cirque du Soleil performer.
A quick scan of his entertaining Instagram account is enough to be convinced why he shot to social media fame.
Most of his photos and videos feature him performing acrobatic routines with his adorable three-year-old son, Rowan.
More than his chiseled physique and fit body, followers just can’t help but swoon over how sweet he is towards his little boy.
“The dad is always the guy who throws the kid up in the air—I just take it to the next level,” the acrobatic dad told the Daily Mail.
The “next level” is an understatement.

Wayne’s love affair with gymnastics began in Germany when he was four years old, about the same age as his son Rowan is now.
Now the 28-year-old performs twice a day, five times a week in the Zumanity Cirque du Soleil production.
Many have reached out to him through social media, commending him for being an inspiration to parents.
The single dad told the Daily Mail that he plans to continue sharing these moments with his son hoping to keep inspiring other solo parents such as himself to keep doing what they love and to always share their passions with their kids.
