There’s nothing more pure than a parent’s love for their child.

And luckily for those of us who enjoy stalking the lives of stars on social media, even the most famous of celebrities aren’t immune to feeling the love – and posting about it online.

From new dad Osher Gunsberg gushing about newborn son Wolfgang and dad-of-four Steve Commando Willis sharing some candid moments to Princes William and Harry giving glimpses into the world of royal dads, these well-known fathers are beyond adorable.

Some are single dads, some have taken on the role of stepdad and some have successfully blended their families, but whatever their personal situation, they’re all nailing the role of being a father.

Scroll on to see the delightful doting dads who really tug on our heartstrings.

Hamish Blake

Hamish Blake

The TV and radio personality shares Sonny, five and Rudy, two with wife Zoe Foster-Blake and they’re quite possibly one of the coolest families in the country.

The dad-of-two is quite the impressive baker two having made some show-stopping cakes for Sonny’s previous birthdays.

We were cracking up reading Hamish’s Father’s Day card from little Sonny!

“Even though this year I’m portrayed as an ice cream loving boozehound who’s a bit of a pushover when it comes to requests for hot chocolates and chips, I guess I can’t say that’s entirely inaccurate, so all things considered I got out ok. B minus!” the proud dad captioned his post.

After falling in love with Snezana Markoski on The Bachelor in 2015, Sam Wood became an instant step-dad to her now 13-year-old daughter Eve. The couple have since welcomed two more daughters, Willow (almost two) and one-month-old Charlie Lane.

Speaking to Now To Love in May, Sam gushed: “I’ve just got this house full of girls, nothing is gonna change. It’s just me and the dog representing the boys. But you know what? It’s such a nice place to come home.”

Ryan Phillippe’s kids Ava and Deacon are the spitting image of the actor and their mother Reese Witherspoon. Though Ryan and Reese divorced way back in 2007, the pair have been committed to co-parenting Ava and Deacon, with Ryan once remarking on Ellen “I think we’ve done a heck of a job.”

Popular Channel Ten TV host Osher Gunsberg just joined the dads club with the birth of his first child, son Wolfgang, this week.

Osher, who is also stepdad to his partner Audrey Griffin’s daughter Georgia, said he was “in awe” of Audrey during labour.

“What I witnessed her do, the power I saw her summon from within her to bring this boy into the world was utterly astonishing,” he wrote on Instagram.

Not to be outshone by his big brother, Prince Harry has also welcomed the pitter patter of little feet into his regal home. In a massive world event, Meghan Markle gave birth to son Archie, officially making Harry a dad. After the birth, Prince William wasted no time welcoming Harry into the “sleep deprivation society”.

Karl Stefanovic (pictured with eldest son Jackson) has no doubt had his ups and downs with his kids (that time Jackson publicly described Karl’s wedding to Jasmine as sh-t, anyone?). But what’s clear is that the former Today show host would do anything for his children, Jackson, Ava and River.
