“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!
Hayden also makes fatherhood look sexy. Check out that camo stroller!
Hayden makes sure he does things right. On his birthday, the new dad sat down to read a book on fatherhood.

Dingdong Dantes
This hands-on father finds delight in his daughter everyday.
Dingdong is not afraid to get into a silly “remote control battle’ with his baby Zia.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!”

Ryan Agoncillo
A true family man, Ryan Agoncillo loves to spend time with his wife and kids.
He captures these sweet, priceless moments and it just goes to show how much he truly appreciates the blessing that is his family.
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.
