Dec. 8 2025, Published 2:07 a.m. ET
Fatherhood comes in many flavors: adventure, health, entrepreneurship, creativity, wrestling, children’s books, music, faith—and sometimes a mix of all of those. This year, some dads are doing more than just snapping family pics; they’re mentoring, hustling, entertaining, and proving that being a parent doesn’t mean sidelining your dreams. Here are some of the top American-based fathers on social media (IG) who are doing just that, and are absolutely worth following for the rest of 2025 and well beyond with their kids by their sides…

@ratedrcope& @christian4peeps – Adam Copeland & Jay Reso are professional wrestlers turned fitness entrepreneurs and devoted dads. Their fitness board product Pure Plank helps parents stay strong (literally and figuratively), and they share both family moments and motivational content with their new product across their socials, while also showing off their badass moves as fathers in the ring currently!
@cole.labrant – Cole LaBrant and family are a phenomenon. With around 5 million followers on social media, Cole shares content that blends faith, family, humor, and life with his five children.

On social media, he shares behind-the-scenes glimpses into his creative process for hit songs (especially for family entertainment networks) while weaving in moments of his life with a child. His account gives parents a peek behind the magic—how songs get made, the ups and downs of studio days, and why creativity and fatherhood feed each other.
@iacovone – Dr. Domenic Iacovone, founder of the popular Relive Health clinics, shares about wellness, health and keeping body and mind in shape—not just for oneself but for the kids depending on you to live a long and healthy life.

These dads all bring something different to the picture: some mentor, some make us laugh, some make us think, and all of them show that being a father in today’s world is about more than checklists and potty training—it’s about presence, passion, and purpose.
