Celebrity Parents Wishing Happy Father’s Day to The Dads

Although Father’s Day was on June 16, 2024, these celebrity parents ensured their fathers felt loved on this special day.

Father’s Day — it’s the day when the dads get the most love. Sometimes, there are gifts, and other times, it’s a message or a dinner. However, in the lives of hardworking celebrity parents, sometimes there’s only so much time to squeeze in a message — one with love nonetheless. And although some of them aren’t able to celebrate Father’s Day with their dads physically, some of these celebrity parents still penned a sweet message to keep the memory of their loving fathers alive.

1. Rufa Mae Quinto

Hi daddy! I want you to know that I am who I am because of you. Salamat sa support sa lahat ng pag ka tao ko. Miss na miss kita araw araw . Hinde ka nag kulang sa paalala na andyan ka parati. Pinakita mo ang tunay na Love saakin,” Rufa writes on her Instagram.

A daughter’s first love will always be her father — something that Rufa lovingly adds. She also mentions how he was her best friend, no. 1 fan, and also one of the role models in her life.

“Kaya naging succesful at buo ako kasi, andyan ka bilang tatay ko , best friend , no.1 fan ko, lalake sa buhay ko. You are the best! You are my first love Daddy Alex, pinakita mo na kapag may tatay na may gabay, may pag- asa … kaya happy father’s day sayo at sa lahat ng father around the world! Lilipas din ang araw na ito pero ang pag ka father mo saakin will always be in my heart . Everyday is a Father’s Day for me! Mabuhay ang mga fathers and muli…… Happy Father’s Day yall! 📸🩷Nakakalalaki na to 🤩 ! Todo na to! Go go go!

2. Sam Valenciano and Paolo Valenciano

Dads have their hard work cut out for them and mom Sam Valenciano celebrates this with a post dedicated to the three dads in her life: her papa, Jaime Godinez, her dad Gary Valenciano, and her “crydaddy” Paolo Valenciano.

“Happy Father’s Day to these hardworking dads. We love you and appreciate you! Papa @jmgmatoco , Dad @garyvalenciano & my crydaddy @paolovalenciano ❤️,” she writes.

The best part is, that Paolo appreciated the post, writing, and laughing. “There’s crybaby and there’s cry daddy.”

And in a separate post, Paolo wished his father, Gary, a Happy Father’s Day greeting with a candid photo of them behind the scenes from one of their concerts.

“Dearest @jonikoro, Sienna and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. From all the sleepless nights back when Sienna was a newborn, changing her dirty diapers, burping her (because I can never do it as well as you) to now being Sienna’s playmate, dance partner, and best friend, you’ve always given us your all. I hope you know how much we appreciate you. You truly are the best dada in the world. We love you. Happy Father’s Day. 🤍”

Being a father is usually defined in the biological sense. But becoming a dad means stepping up to the challenge to love and be there for the kids in every way they can. Celebrity mom Judy Ann Santos writes just that as she writes a message for her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, on Father’s Day.

“Any man can be a father… but it takes someone special to be a dad. ❤️❤️ we love and appreciate you so much dada! Happy father’s day! 😘😘,” she writes on her Instagram.

“Nakasingit ng date time.. 🤭 but, thank you bunny for capturing this moment. Happy father’s day my love. 😘 @ryan_agoncillo,” she writes.

Appreciating dads on Father’s Day!

Despite their busy schedules, these celebrities prove that Father’s Day is worth making time for to celebrate.

Although moms usually take the spotlight in active caretaking, dads are slowly becoming more involved and active instead of the stereotypical roles. Especially when moms are now finding the means to achieve their career goals, dads are looking forward to being more involved in the home. For the dads who are always working hard, happy father’s day!
