The dads we love: 7 famous fathers putting their own spin on parenting
Dads are getting their due this week. Ahead of Father's Day this Sunday (that's your cue to sort out the obligatory World's Best Dad mug, grilling doodad or the same polo shirt you've been gifting 15 years running), we wanted to dig a little deeper into what fatherhood looks like in 2025. Research finds that, compared to 20 years ago, dads today spend about an hour more per week with their kids. (That's especially significant considering that the weekly total for fathers who share a home with their children is 7.8 hours; for those who live separately, it's just 36 minutes.) And while by and large, moms are still considered the default parent in their families — the ones who make the doctors' appointments, arrange playdates and get a call from school — there's been a small, gradual shift. In the era of intensive parenting, dads, too, are becoming more hands-on. Using Yahoo's recent polling with YouGov, Yahoo National Correspondent Andrew Romano has a breakdown of how evolving family dynamics are playing out in homes across America. We've also sat down with several well-known fathers (and one skateboarding grandpa, Tony Hawk) to learn more about how they 'dad.' For comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, it's prioritizing firm rules over gentle parenting as he ferries his kids to Little League games and gymnastics practice. Alfonso Ribeiro is taking cues from his TV dad, Uncle Phil, and actor Hill Harper is leaning on his village for support as a single dad. Influencer Jesse Sullivan is showing the world that life as a trans dad is more relatable than people might think. Lastly, newly retired Olympic diver Tom Daley is enjoying having more time to be with his boys, while content creator Strider Patton's determination to braid his daughter's hair has spawned a girl dad movement. Get to know these dads — our Pop Patrol, if you will — a little better:
