Celebrity fathers, like celebrity mothers, are known for lavishing attention on their children. Although these guys are better renowned for their contributions to TV, movies, music, sports, politics, and other fields, their wonderful family photos, as well as their wise words on fatherhood, demonstrate how seriously they take their duty.
From EGOT winner John Legend, who has two children with Chrissy Teigen, to Prince Harry, who has spoken out about the type of future he wants for his son, to former Channing Tatum, who has written a children's book series inspired by his daughter and Adam Levine, was willing to wear a matching dress with his daughters. It's clear that these men adore their children.

We can't talk about one royal father without mentioning the other. Prince Harry appears to enjoy parenting as well — so much so that he was willing to resign as a senior royal in order to safeguard his wife and children, Archie and Lilibet, and provide them with the greatest possible life. In our opinion, that's a fantastic father.
#2 Prince William
