Modern Families Doing it Right! A Look at Hollywood's Hottest Gay Dads

Father's Day is a time to celebrate the people who played an important role in our growing up, and when it comes to out celebrities, it's also a time to appreciate their abs (whether they're achieved from playing outdoors with their kids or getting to the gym in-between playdates), the adorable parenting moments they share with us, and the glorious salt-and-pepper beards that come with age.

We'd like to wish these gorgeous queer men a very happy Father's Day, and thank them for the tireless work they do in being incredibly hot and raising kids – both very important roles that make the world a better place. We'll be celebrating their passionate parenting and six-packs in equal measure. Take a look at our list of the hottest queer dads to celebrate this Father's Day!

Cheyenne Jackson

Actor and singer (and keeper of glorious salt-and-pepper beard) Cheyenne Jackson has been married to fellow actor Jason Landau since September 2014, and they've been parenting twins Willow and Ethan since 2016. Jackson posts photos with their kids quite often, joyfully sharing the adventures they get up to and his pride in how they're growing up. Last year, he shared an adorable moment when his kids "came out" to him at dinner. Willow announced out of the blue that she doesn't think she's gay; Ethan then, "without missing a beat and without looking up from his food goes, 'Yeah, I'm not gay either. But I want to go to the parade.'" They stood by that, it seems, as Jackson's post from Pride this year shows his kids very cheerfully joining celebrations at the parade.

Tom Daley, Dustin Lance Black

The British Olympic diver, author of children's book "Jack Splash," and avid knitter returned to diving this year after a two-year break because his son, Robbie said "'Papa, I want to see you dive in the Olympics." Since then, Daley has been delighting us all with videos as he gets back into Olympic shape for the Paris 2024 event, which he has officially qualified for. Daley's husband, Dustin Lance Black, shared a super cute video (below) of six-year-old Robbie welcoming Tom home at the airport with a colorful handmade sign that reads "welcome home and congratulations." We're thrilled that we'll be able to support this out gay sportsman competing at the Olympics, and we're very happy that his sporting excellence means more videos for us of the diver's strong thighs and body gracefully tumbling through the air in tiny speedos.

Jeremiah Brent, Nate Berkus

Interior designers Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus have two kids together, Poppy and Oskar, each with their own beautifully-designed bedrooms (complete with lego pieces arranged by color). Jeremiah Brent has joined the "Queer Eye" team as their home renovation go-to in the season which they've just finished filming, which will undoubtedly bring out a more playful side to the chic, incredibly handsome man. We can't wait to see what fun projects and gay shenanigans the Fab Five got up to since he's joined them!

Karamo Brown

"Queer Eye" host and the first out gay Black man with his own daytime TV show Karamo Brown had an unusual and deeply emotional journey to fatherhood, but has embraced being a dad since he found out that he had a son named Jason, and has since adopted Jason's half-brother as well. Brown has shared that meeting Jason, who was ten-years-old at the time, encouraged him to get sober and saved his life. Brown's patience, generosity, and empathy is showcased as he works with the "Queer Eye" heroes each week, and (though his kids are in their 20s now), we're sure it's helped with his parenting, too.

With his stubble that's always sculpted to the gods, a face that never stops serving from every angle, and a passion for sharing photos of his boyfriend's abs, there are so many reasons to celebrate Karamo –today and everyday!

Ricky Martin

Sexy singer and actor Ricky Martin has four children; twin teenage sons who he welcomed into the world as a single father, and two younger children shared with his ex. His fifteen-year-old twins came to cheer him on when he headlined LA Pride this month, even doing some of the choreography along with him from the sidelines. While the "Palm Royale" star subtly changes up his look to play a bartender in the stylish show set in 1969, Martin can be seen on Instagram either sweaty performing on stage, posing for seductive photoshoots, or traveling the world in style.

Matt Bomer

Handsome actor Matt Bomer and his husband Simon Halls have three kids –the oldest named Kit, who he has shared photos attending 49ers games with, and twins Walker and Henry. We love his elegantly slicked-back curls and salt-and-pepper beard. While the breathtakingly hot Bomer is always perfectly groomed and styled in suits on his Instagram, we especially enjoy seeing him undone and undressed in his roles like queer drama "Fellow Travelers" with Jonathan Bailey, and the sizzling "Magic Mike" dance films.

Nico Tortorella

Nico Tortorella's first child with partner Bethany C. Meyers is named Kilmer Dove, and the couple are expecting their second child in October. Tortorella has written a children's book called 'Olivette Is You', as well as music that they've been sharing on Instagram with sexy videos of themself in the pool. With their tattooed body, natural curls, and bright, genuine smile, this queer parent is always a joy to look at! You can read our EDGE interview with Nico Tortorella about queer family and gay parenthood here.

Colton Underwood, Jordan C. Brown

Soon-to-be-dads Colton Underwood and his husband Jordan C. Brown recently shared the exciting news that they're expecting a baby boy in the Fall. The "Bachelor" star and former professional football player shared with Men's Health that in second grade, after his teacher declared his dream of being an NFL player when he grows up unrealistic, he changed his answer to stay-at-home dad.

As part of his work to make sure that parents and teachers of today's second-graders learn that everything he's done is possible for them, too, Colton has started a podcast, "Daddyhood", where he's discussing everything about his road to becoming a dad, "from fertility to watching his baby take their first steps." We love his thirst traps just as much as we love his posts preparing for parenting, and hope those continue into his daddyhood era!

Chris Appleton

The hair stylist to the stars is also a father to Billy and Kitty-blu, who have grown up into young adults as gorgeous and glamorous as their dad. Appleton recently took his daughter, model and makeup artist Kitty-blu, to the Grammys. Always looking suave and handsome, Appleton mostly shares photos when he's suited up at events or shirtless on beach vacations, and we certainly appreciate both looks –especially because he's tanned with his beard groomed to perfection no matter where he is. We're wishing Appleton and his sculpted arms a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
