“No words can explain this overwhelming love that I feel as I cradle you in my arms. My beautiful warrior, you fill me with awe and excitement,” he wrote on Instagram last May. “I promise to be your home and your protection. To nurture you with infinite love, the same love you’ve already shown me from the moment you took your very first breath.”

The romantic relationship of Robert Pattinson and fiancée Suki Waterhouse became stronger than ever, as the couple welcomed their child in early 2024. Apart from Waterhouse announcing her pregnancy in November 2023, the couple kept details of their family of three under wraps.

Lee Seung-gi

Lee Seung-gi is another first-time dad as he welcomed his first child with fellow actress Lee Da-in back in February. Like many celebrity couples, Lee opted to keep details about their firstborn private.
