40+ Celebrity Dads Who Make Fatherhood Look So Damn Cool
Dwayne Johnson
Did you know that The Rock is a proud girl dad? Yup, Dwayne Johnson has three daughters. First up is WWE wrestler Simone, whom he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia. Then there’s Jasmine and Tiana, with current wife Lauren Hashian.
Yet, despite his tough guy image, the muscle-bound hunk of bricks loves nothing more than “daddy-daughter bonding” moments. When he’s not flying around the world filming Fast & Furious films, he’s hanging out with Jasmine and Tiana, having tea parties, and watching Disney’s Moana.
Justin Timberlake
First, Justin Trousersnake was in N’Sync, then he became a successful solo musician and actor, appearing in films like Alpha Dog and The Social Network. He dated Britney Spears, Spice Girl Emma Bunton, and actress Cameron Diaz before settling down with actress Jessica Biel.
Their first son Phineas was born in April 2015. They had a second son, Silas, in July 2020. But, did you know that Justin named his last album after his son? Yup, Silas means Man of the Woods in Latin.
Idris Elba
The BBC’s Detective Chief Inspector John Luther, Idris Elba has two children. He and his first wife Kim Nørgaard had a daughter, Isan, in 2002. Then, in April 2014, he had a son named Winston with his former girlfriend Naiyana Garth.
In 2018, DJ Dris said, “Being witness to the birth of my children is the biggest and best thing ever. I’m super doting, big hugs, kisses, lots of love-yous… My son is still at that age where he loves a cuddle.”

He and stunning actress and filmmaker Olivia Wilde have a son, Otis Alexander — as well as a daughter, Daisy Josephine. But even though they split up in 2020, Jason and Olivia are doing a great job co-parenting.
