Eye Candy: Daddy's Home

A roundup of the sexiest celebrity dads in entertainment.
By · June 10, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Usher Raymond

Somehow the R&B mega star has found time to look this good and be a fully devoted dad to his two sons too. We don’t know how he does it all, but we’re loving the way he looks doing them.

02
Kobe Bryant

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant is the proud father of two daughters. The first, Natalia Diamante Bryant, is now 8, and his second daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant is five. One of the things we love most about him is his seriously sexy smirk.

03
Boris Kodjoe

Boris Kodjoe’s smile is as sexy as they come. The Doting dad was blessed with the best of both worlds, a boy and a girl. He’s father to Sophie Tei-Naaki Lee Kodjoe, age 6, and Nicolas Neruda Kodjoe, age 4.

04
Swizz Beatz

Well-known music producer and beat making king Swizz Beatz is always looking fly on the go, and when he is, he’s tweeting about how happy he is to be a dad. Swizz has three boys, his newest (with wife Alicia Keys) born last October, and one daughter.

05
Dwyane Wade

Now we love the lips on this man. Always known to be a full on family man, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade was recently awarded full custody of his two sons: Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade (born February 4, 2002) and Zion Malachi Airamis Wade ( born May 29, 200).

06
Lenny Kravitz

We just love Lenny Kravitz’ swagger, don’t you? Looking at the ever-so-cool rocker one may never guess that 22 year old actress and model Zoe Kravitz is his daughter.

07
Djimon Hounsou

In May 2009, gorgeous West African born actor Djimon Hounsou, proudly welcomed the birth of his son Kenzo Lee Hounsou with wife fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons.

08
President Barack Obama

Probably the most famous father around these days, President Barack Obama is frequently seen spending quality time with first daughters Sasha and Malia and reminding us that you can look good and do good at the same time.

09
Robin Thicke

Blue eyed soul singer Robin Thicke can stare at us any time. He and his wife actress Paula Patton welcomed their first son, Julian Fuego on April 6, 2010.

10
Don Cheadle

Actor Don Cheadle and his wife, actress Bridgid Coulter, have two lovely daughters: Ayana Tai Cheadle, 16, and Imani Cheadle, 13.

11
Nick Cannon

Here, proud new father to twins Moroccan and Monroe (with wife Mariah Carey), Nick Cannon flexes for the camera.

12
Carmelo Anthony

New York Knicks guard Carmelo Anthony is frequently spotted spending QT with wife LaLa and their son Kiyan Carmelo Anthony.

13
Will Smith

We’re still falling for Will Smith’s boyish grin. His children, son Jaden Smith, and daughter Willow Smith, are almost as well-recognized as he and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. Will was most recently spotted at his oldest son Trey’s high school graduation cheering him on.

14
Diddy

Hip hop music mogul Diddy has his hands full with five kids to spoil. Diddy has three girls (a set of twins included), and two sons.

15
Seal

Seal is such a proud father that he adopted wife Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni, from a previous relationship. Together the pair are also the proud parents of Henry, John, and Lou.

16
Dwight Howard

Sexy Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is one of the sexiest single dads on the court.

17
Pooch Hall

Actor Pooch Hall may be known as Derwin on BET’s hit sitcom ‘The Game’, but off screen he’s known as a dad.

18
Dennis Hasybert

Divorced father of two Dennis Haysbert proves that some gorgeous looks only get better with age.
