Father’s Day is here once again, but this year, the annual celebration of dads might look a little different. With people around the world still practicing social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic, many families might be celebrating apart, relying on FaceTime conversations instead of an IRL brunch. Of course, the good ol’ fashion Instagram tribute hasn’t gone out of style, and plenty of celebs are getting in on the social media action.
Several stars including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Liam Payne have taken to IG to express their love for the dads in their lives. Others, like Michelle Obama and Gabrielle Union, are celebrating their partners, and some stars are even gearing up to soon become dads themselves. (Joe Jonas, lookin’ at you.) Ahead, check out some of the sweetest celebrity Father’s Day tributes of the year.
