It’s all about Dad! As people celebrate dads for Father’s Day 2020 on Sunday (June 21), musicians did the same, giving the dads in their lives a shout-out to show their love and appreciation.
Jennifer Lopez shared photos on Instagram of her twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, wishing the “Tu Vide en la Mia” singer “the best day today.” She also recognized her fiance, former baseball star Alex Rodriguez, with a video montage of past interviews in which she gushes about her love being a great father.
The “Medicine” singer didn’t forget her own pops, though. For her dad, she resurfaced a TODAY show video in which she recalls how her dad has always supported her. “Dad, thank you for being you… for loving me for who I am,” she captioned the video. “I am so lucky to have you as my dad.”
Paul McCartney remembered his own dad with a throwback photo of himself as a young man with his dad at the dinner table. “Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!” he captioned the black-and-white snap.
Rob Zombie also went vintage, sharing an old photo of himself as a toddler with his dad on July 4, 1966. “Neither of us has aged a day. Yowza!” he joked.
