If you’ve ever seen a Black dad in action, and thought to yourself, ‘how sexy,’ then this post is for you. There is something so attractive about a Black man who is a great father. And by great father, we mean, present, doting, compassionate, and respectable to the mother of their children.
This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the Black dads we wish we could call daddy. Wink wink. In 2023, we saw Black fatherhood illuminated through fathers like P-Valley actor Tyler Lepley, who welcomed a beautiful baby girl with Miracle Watts.
In 2022, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. described the birth of his baby boy as the best moment of his life even more than winning the Super Bowl. Omarion, father of two, described fatherhood as his “purpose.”

Odell Beckham Jr. became a first-time dad in 2022, when his partner gave birth to their baby boy. In an interview with PEOPLE, the Super Bowl-winning baller opened up about the joys of fatherhood.
“It was the biggest blessing of my life. I always knew that it would be, but it really hits different when I was actually holding him,” Beckham said. “When I first met him and looked into his eyes — his very soulful eyes, very much like mine — you could tell he didn’t know anything about the world … it’s just happiness and joy.”

In an interview with Black Love, the former B2K lead singer opened up about his relationship with his own father, saying, “We have such a great relationship, and I’m so appreciative of our bond. It’s interesting because he’s such an intentional man, and I now get to witness it in my older age, and I respect that.”

In an interview co-starring his son, Drake opened up about fatherhood, saying, “I just mean, in an encouraging way, like, ‘You can always bet on fatherhood. For all the people out there, you can always bet on fatherhood.”

As one of the most talented and skilled basketball players alive, Lebron manages to make fatherhood look effortless. All of which he learned after the birth of his first son Bronny. “You know having 3 kids I understand that, you know, I gotta parent my kids differently to get the best out of them. Some of them I can yell at. Some I gotta be more comforting. Some I need to pull away to the side. Some I can yell at in front of the group and they’ll be fine with that. So I think that helps.”
