5 Celebrity dads who are doing it right

5 Celebrity dads who are doing it right

With Father's Day around the corner, we round up celebrity dads who have embraced fatherhood and are absolutely winning at parenthood.

“Much of life, fatherhood included, is the story of knowledge acquired too late…But nothing really prepares you for kids, for the swells of emotion that roll through your chest like the rumble of boulders tumbling downhill, nor for the all-enveloping labor of it…Such a small person! Not much bigger than a loaf of bread at first, yet it takes so much to keep the whole enterprise going.”

Author Ben Fountain was right when he said that fatherhood is a lot of work and nothing can really prepare you for it. Fatherhood is far from easy.

But these celebrity dads don’t just make fatherhood look easy, they also make it look like so much fun! Here are 5 celebrity dads we can’t help but love:

Hayden Kho

This man tops the list simply because he is doing a remarkably good job in raising Scarlet Snow despite being a first-time dad. Plus, he loves being silly with his adorable daughter!

One great thing about being a Dad is that i get to be silly again. Scarlet Snow, I’ll do ANYTHING just to see that smile on your face. I love you.

Hayden also makes fatherhood look sexy. Check out that camo stroller!

Of course I chose the camo stroller. Can you imagine me pushing around a pink one… ????

Hayden makes sure he does things right. On his birthday, the new dad sat down to read a book on fatherhood.

I love the way simple things make us happy . It’s @dochayden birthday but his exciting happening today is to read a book called “be a better dad today. “

Another first-time dad on the next page.

Dingdong Dantes

This hands-on father finds delight in his daughter everyday.

Everyday delight. #MariaLetizia

Dingdong is not afraid to get into a silly “remote control battle’ with his baby Zia.

The remote control battle has begun. #HouseofcardsVsBabyTv #photobymommy #weloveyoumommy @therealmarian #MariaLetizia

As early as now, Dingdong is raising his daughter to appreciate the beauty of nature in hopes that she will someday be a “climate warrior” like Papa.

She was quiet and attentive during that whole 3 minute window. It was as if she understood what was transpiring. I would just like to think that these are early attributes of a little climate warrior in the making????. And so, as we all welcome His resurrection tomorrow, big decisions will also have to be made. A blessed Saturday evening to all. (Photographed by @therealmarian)

Two awesome celebrity dads on the next page.

Patrick Garcia

Raising two daughters can’t be easy, but Patrick Garcia makes it look like a breeze. Heck, he can even take care of the two girls while his wife, Nikka Martinez, is out.

My baby girls! I love my princesses so much!???????? missing my queen @nikkamgarcia ????#chelseawelsy #PrettyPatrice

A photo posted by Patrick Garcia (@onlypatrickgarcia) on Jan 22, 2016 at 6:39am PST

Here’s a cute video of Patrick teasing his daughter. She does end up crying as a result of his fake-cry, but it’s proof of how in tune with and protective his daughter is of his feelings.

She don’t like me to cry! Sorry #prettypatrice #youarejustsocute

Doug Kramer

Basketball star Doug Kramer must have spent a fortune to take his family to the Maldives over the summer break. But the memories they created were certainly priceless. Here he is looking sun-kissed with his three kids.

More trips to come for my babies! It’s been quite an experience Maldives! #TeamKramerTripsDusitMaldives

A photo posted by Doug Kramer (@dougkramer44) on May 22, 2016 at 2:15am PDT

The Kramer kids don’t need a vacation to have fun with their dad. They also have loads of fun at home. For Doug, “Fatherhood is absolutely the best!”

Best good night hug ever!! Fatherhood is absolutely the best! ????????????

A true family man on the next page.

A true family man, Ryan Agoncillo loves to spend time with his wife and kids.

On a lighter note, Ryan also takes his kids to his gym sessions! We love how he snuck a workout into daddy time — or was it the other way around? Whichever it was, the idea and its execution were endearingly flawless.
