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

Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 5 MIN.


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!

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!
