Iconic celebrity dads who enjoy making time for their children

Very often, when we see celebrities in the media, we forget that they have their own private lives. As successful as they might be—as athletes, musicians, actors, chefs, or politicians—family always comes first. In fact, the hardest job they have isn’t the one we know them for: It’s the one that happens behind the scenes. If you haven’t guessed it yet, we’re talking about fatherhood.

One can only imagine the pressures of being a father, especially when your every move is being followed by the public’s inquisitive eyes. A father’s job is to keep their children safe, but that job is getting harder in the age of social media. Online trolls and keyboard warriors are always out to get celebrities and their children when a mistake is made.

A few celebrity dads seem to handle the pressure especially well, despite being in the spotlight 24/7. These are the ones who have a nurturing and supportive relationship with their children, to the extent of being their professional mentors and/or creating content together. Below, we’ve highlighted a few father-and-child pairs who work well together—plus one famous trio—in celebration of Father’s Day.
