The Rock is well known for his reputation as World's Best Dad, but this latest photo of him with his daughter Jasmine is literally taking adorable to a whole new level.

The actor, real name Dwayne Johnson, posted an image of his daughter painting his face while he eats breakfast, and the conversation between them might just leave you gasping for air.

He outlines a morning in the life of a busy father; he asks Jasmine for a kiss before he leaves for work, and gets a little more than he bargained for.

"Me: Baby come here and give daddy a kiss, he’s gotta go to work. 
Jazzy: But daddy I have to paint your toes. 
Me: Nope, daddy’s got his shoes on and gotta go to work, now come give me a kiss. 
Jazzy: Ok, then let me paint your face, daddy. 
Me: *confidently laughs* Absolutely not, now I gotta go to work, now get over here and kiss me. 
Jazzy: *while looking up at me with her mama @laurenhashianofficial’s intoxicating blue eyes… BUT DADDY, I need to paint your face for work. 
Me: Ok, but make sure you choose manly colors that are flattering to my complexion.
As much as I tell her no, with my crazy busy life, this is the stuff I actually love  #ohana"

WE ARE WEAK.

He previously posted a similar image, describing his attempted trip to work and how it was taken over by a nail painting session. We don't know which of the pair we're more jealous of..

Johnson clearly adores his daughter, and we don't blame him.

The actor and his partner Lauren Hashian are also parents to Tiana Gia, who was born in April. The Rock also has another child from a previous marriage.

We hope he never stops posting pictures like these, otherwise what else would brighten up our days in this icy weather?

Russell Brand and his wife Laura Gallacher welcomed their second child into the world over the weekend. The Sun confirmed that Laura gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

They shared that the parents are overjoyed following their baby girl’s safe arrival.

“Obviously they are over the moon, and Russell will no doubt be gushing about her whenever he next performs stand-up,” the source said.

It is understood Russell and Laura want to keep their children out of the spotlight, so didn’t feel the need to make a grand announcement.

They are also parents to daughter Mabel, who will be two-years-old in November.

Russell previously admitted that becoming a dad made him a better man.

Appearing on The View, the 42-year-old admitted: “I love being present and being a father to my daughter [11-month-old Mabel] – it’s completely changed my outlook.”

He continued: “I was a person who was obsessed with fame, obsessed with what people think of me…but I know nothing can make me happy except for my inner life, and my inner connection.”

“Having a baby is the materialisation of ‘I’m not the most important person in the world’,” he added.

Russell and style blogger Laura tied the knot last year, after two years of dating. The couple said "I do" in an intimate ceremony near their home in Henley-on-Thames.

We can’t wait to find out what name they chose for their daughter.

As if we didn't love him enough, David Beckham has proven once again, he isn't just a pretty face. The footballer is Unicef's Goodwill ambassador and of course, is an adoring dad to four children. The star has us swooning and sobbing as he pens the realities of being a dad for Unicef's early childhood development campaign, Early Moments Matter.

Here is the heartwarming letter: 

"There are many emotions that run through us when we think about our children. But for me and for the many dads and mums I’ve spoken to about parenting over the years, it comes down to two things – love and fear. It is these emotions that push us to achieve more for our children, every day.

I recently travelled to Indonesia with Unicef, to Semarang in the Central Java Province to see the work of my 7 Fund for Unicef, which is helping the most vulnerable children get the best start in life, by empowering them to speak out, providing them with support, and protecting them from violence so they can unlock their incredible potential.

While I was in Semarang I met with a group of dads and their young children. We sat together, discussing the realities of fatherhood. And this notion of love and fear that takes over when we have kids, rang true in every one of them.

This Early Childhood Development centre in the community is run so that parents and their young children have a place to spend time together and have a safe place to read and play together so I joined in one afternoon.

There is one dad in particular that I won’t forget. Imam, a 31-year-old father of a little boy called Vincent. Imam spent the first year of his son’s life working long days to try and make ends meet. He missed many precious early moments – the moments that often stay in our minds forever. His first laugh, his first words, his first steps,

Imam missed all of these to put food on the table. Focusing on being the main breadwinner was a tough ‘decision’ for him to make and one that left him full of fear. In the brief moments they would spend together, his son didn’t want to be near him. Imam feared that he’d missed his chance to build a special bond with Vincent.

He feared his child would grow up thinking his father didn’t love him, when actually his love is what pushed him to do his best to earn enough to give his child all the things he could ever need.

On the day I met this father and son – whose story I imagine resonates with millions of dads across the world – you’d never guess that there was a day where Vincent didn’t want to be near his dad. He was clambering all over him, pulling at his face, laughing in response to the shapes he was making with dad’s cheeks.

Imam made the hard decision to change and to risk the income he really needed to support his family. He managed to get a new job, and as a result he was able to work less hours and spend more time with his son.

Imam now takes on a much bigger role in parenting – preparing his food, picking out his clothes, getting him bathed and dressed. But the biggest change he tells me about is the fact he now has time to play – one of the most important ways of building a child into who they will become.

In the fathers’ group I also met Ary, a father of two girls whose youngest is the same age as my daughter Harper. He told me about how he copes with his daily frustrations and anxiety.

 

A post shared by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) on

To cope, Ary told me that when he felt stressed, he would go on a fast bike ride to burn off some steam and to focus his thoughts. Even just a short bike ride would mean that when he arrived back home he would be able to be present and in the right state of mind to spend quality time with his kids.

It really helped me to talk to the group of dads in this way, and I’d encourage more dads to talk and share their experiences. Imam and Ary reminded me of when my kids were small; I didn’t want to miss a second, but of course there were times that I couldn’t be there. I feared they would do something for the first time and I wouldn’t be there to see it.

Just like Imam, I knew that spending as much quality time with my kids as I could, especially when they were young, was the most important thing in the world. And like Ary, I also realised pretty quickly, that there are never enough hours in the day to do all the things we want to do with our kids so as long as we make whatever the time available to us quality time, where we are present, as dads we’re winning.

I know through my work with Unicef that the first 1,000 days of life are the most critical time for a baby’s brain development, and their experiences during this time can have lifelong consequences – good and bad.

 

A post shared by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) on

We as parents all have an incredible opportunity to shape how our children’s brains develop. But without support, parents will continue to struggle to give their babies the play time, good food, and a whole lot of love they need.

All the fathers that I met spoke of their dreams and aspirations for their children. Every generation wants the next to be better, to have more opportunities and achieve their full potential. But we need to start from the very beginning to make this possible.

I’m still learning new things about fatherhood every day. You never stop learning. I was 24 when I had Brooklyn. Four kids now and nearly 20 years of experience as a father, and you never stop learning.

Over the course of the last seven years, Ed Sheeran has absolutely dominated the international music charts, securing himself countless accolades in the process.

Catapulting into the public's consciousness in 2011 with the release of his debut single The A-Team, there's no denying the phenomenal trajectory of the British singer's career.

And while die-hard Ed fans may anticipate the release of numerous future albums, it seems the 26-year-old isn't quite as sure of that.

Ed, who announced his engagement to girlfriend Cherry Seaborn on Saturday, recently revealed that he expects his ambitious streak to dissolve somewhat once the couple decide to start a family.

Speaking to The Daily Star, the Shape of You singer admitted: "My ambition is going to go to zero as soon as I have kids."

Reflecting on his current priorities, the Grammy Award-winning artist suggested that they will all undoubtedly take a back seat once he becomes a father.

"I’m going to be like, ‘I do not really care anymore as I have another life to take care of’." he said.

“It is totally understandable because you have children and your ambition shifts to be like, ‘I want to be a good father.' he added.

He’s not long home from a jam-packed trip to Ireland, but already Mel Gibson is busy talking baby number nine.

In September this year, the Braveheart star confirmed that he is expecting his first child with his partner of two years, champion equestrian vaulter Rosalind Ross.

Appearing on Good Morning America today, the 60-year-old director joked about the physical effects of having so many children.

“I’ve got stretch marks, man,” the star told show host Michael Strahan.  “I’ve got stretch marks.”

The actor – who is currently celebrating his tenth year of sober living – has one daughter and six sons with Robyn Denise Moore, to whom he was married for 26 years, and one daughter with Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva.

Scott Disick may no longer be with his baby mamma Kourtney Kardashian, but that doesn't mean his relationship with Kourtney's younger brother Rob has suffered.

The Lord's long-running bromance with the father-to-be reached a new milestone recently as Scott shared some parenting advice with Rob.

Scott – who is the father of six-year-old Mason, four-year-old Penelope and one-year-old Reign – advised Rob "not to get ahead of himself" and to treat "everyday like it's a new day" when his first child with Blac Chyna arrives this Autumn.

The reality star told Rob to "be present, be happy…have a positive energy and a positive vibe so [his] child comes into the world with a positive energy".

Speaking candidly about his friend, Scott told E! News: "I think he's going to be unbelievable. He's got one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. He's just an amazing guy and I'm so happy for him."

He said: "Rob is like my brother and I love him more than anybody in the world. I've been around with him and helping out where he needs help and kind of showing him the ropes of what it's going to be like to be a new dad."

The 33-year-old New Yorker also explained that Rob's child will be more like a brother or sister to his children than a cousin because the extended Kardashian family is so close.

He said: "We're all such a close-knit family that all of our kids are more like brother and sister and not just cousins. It's bigger than just cousins."

"We all live within each other's lives, so yeah, it's like everyone is like everybody's [child]. So it's not going to be different when Rob and Chyna have their kid, that's going to be a sister or a brother to my kids."

While this will be Rob’s first experience of fatherhood, his partner Blac Chyna already shares a three-year-old son with Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend Tyga.

Rob and his fiancée are set to have their experience of pregnancy documented on a new reality show called Rob & Chyna which is due to hit screens later this year.

It’s been revealed that Hugh Grant has a secret love child following a relationship with Swedish TV producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein in 2012.

The little boy arrived just three months before the birth of his second son Felix with Tinglan Hong, who is also the mother of his daughter Tabitha.

After doing the maths, this means that two women were carrying Hugh’s children at the same time. According to a source, it’s “an unusual arrangement” – we think so too.

It’s not known if the two women knew that the other was carrying a baby belonging to the Notting Hill star – they do now, that’s for sure.

The father’s name on Anna’s son’s birth certificate was left blank when it was first registered. However, it was re-registered in December and the actor’s name, Hugh John Mungo Grant, now sits in pride of place on the cert.

While it is an unusual predicament, the Love Actually actor has stepped up to the plate and is supporting the producer.

Anna apparently lives “in a very comfortable property in West London and knows that Hugh is there for her.”

So all’s well that ends well.
