Father's Day is a time to give love to the men who hold it down for their families, communities, and friends. And this year, some of our favorite celebs – from Michelle Obama to DC Young Fly to Teyana Taylor – hit Instagram with emotional tributes, sweet photos, and powerful words.
These posts remind us why Black fatherhood deserves to be celebrated loudly – today and every day.
Let's start with Oprah, who posted a beautiful snapshot with her late father, Vernon Winfrey, while reflecting on his impact. In an Oprah Daily essay she promoted on IG, she wrote: 'My father is the root of all my successes. Personal. Physical. Financial. Because he understood intrinsically that fathering is a verb. It requires action.'
Michelle Obama also tapped into nostalgia, posting a throwback of Barack with a young Sasha and Malia. 'He's always been there for us,' she wrote, 'even when it felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.' Our forever FLOTUS made it clear: strength in silence is still love.
Ciara jumped on Instagram with a loving reel of her husband Russell Wilson that is making everyone swoon. While showing clips of the Wilson Clan, Ciara chose Monica's 'Why I Love You So Much' as her post audio. 'You show up for our babies the biggest way every day!' Ci Ci said about her NFL star. She added, 'You inspire us so much!' Ciara and Russ share four kids together: Ciara and Russell Wilson have four children: Future Zahir Wilburn (from a previous relationship), Sienna Princess, Win Harrison, and Amora Princess.
Teyana TayTeyana Taylor Turns Up The Heat At Art Basel For Her Sagittarius Birthday Bashlor dropped a carousel for her dad, calling him her 'ace boon' and writing, 'Know that you are appreciated…I thank God for you every day.' Her post radiated love, legacy, and gratitude and fans are loving to see clips of her dad-daughter intimate moments.
DC Young Fly jumped on social media with a cute selfie of himself and his three children for Father's Day. The comedian and host remains strong, raising his kids after the loss of his partner, Ms. Jacky Oh! (Jacklyn Smith), who died after complications from cosmetic surgery in 2023. We love to see fathers celebrating fatherhood!
Tia Mowry gave props to multiple father figures in her life—including her father, her brother, and her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict. Her caption stood out: 'Families take on new shapes. But one thing stays the same: the importance of being there with care and intention.' Whew. That part.
And don't get us started on Corinne Foxx, who shared a gorgeous clip of Jamie Foxx walking her down the aisle. 'From walking me through life to walking me down the aisle…I love you beyond measure,' she wrote. It's rare, it's tender, and it gave us chills.
From throwback flicks to new family moments, these posts show that fatherhood isn't just a title – it's a commitment. In a world where dads are often left out of the narrative, seeing these men get their shine reminds us how much love really lives here.
Happy Father's Day! We see you. We thank you.

Romeo Beckham's Ex Kim Turnbull Speaks Out Post-Split
The next time you think you've got family drama, just take a quick hop across the pond and you'll gain some perspective real quick. Look no further than the Royal Family—no, not that one, I'm talking real royalty, the Beckhams. As speculation continues over a rumored Beckham family feud, Romeo Beckham's ex Kim Turnbull is seemingly setting the record straight on rumors she used to date Romeo's big brother, Brooklyn Beckham. Kim, a DJ and model, and Romeo reportedly split in early June after dating for a little less than a year. The two have kept their relationship mostly out of the public eye—save a few pap shots and joint appearances—but that hasn't stopped tabloids from speculating. While they were dating, rumors claimed that Kim had previously dated Brooklyn in high school, something that many speculated caused a rift between Brooklyn and Romeo, potentially explaining Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz's absence from Beckham family events. And while Kim originally chose not to comment on the rumors, she's now speaking out to 'move on.' Without naming names, Kim released a statement on her Instagram Stories that appears to deny that she ever dated Brooklyn. 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative,' she wrote. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.' She concluded her statement, saying she 'would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation' and 'set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' In other words, she would like you to stop blaming her for a rumored family feud, thank you very much. Romeo hasn't commented on the matter, but he did post a screenshot from Roman Holiday in a cryptic Instagram story with the message, 'Be nice to people and don't tell unnecessary lies.' So, there's that.

Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean.' The person on the receiving end responded that they were 'not used to someone lashing out at me. It's not hat I don't see and feel your anger.' He later was firm on his own emotions and called an end to the his relationship with the person. 'Ouch. This friendship is officially over,' he wrote. 'I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out. I enjoyed our short lived relationship. I wasn't kidding when I told u I didn't need u as a friend. I have good friends.

'Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight,' he began in his Instagram cover. 'I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean.' The singer recalled that he 'felt so disrespected' and 'thought I gotta get even.' 'I think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even,' he continued.

He later replaced the caption with a series of emojis, '🤷🫵🏻🫶🏼🥹.' In the same Vogue cover story, Hailey addressed the divorce rumors. 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,' Hailey told the fashion magazine. 'And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, 'They're getting divorced' and 'They're this' and 'They're not happy,' it is such a mindf—-. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.'
