I've already let you guys in on the fact that my husband and I are waiting a couple of years to have kids and that we want only one, but there is one thing that I am SUPER looking forward to when that day comes: How freaking hot my hubby will be while taking care of our little bundle of joy.
As any woman can attest, there is basically nothing sexier than seeing a guy taking care ofa baby. This is why guys with puppies clean up on the dating scene, and it's also why (even though we might feel a little dirty about it) guys on the playground with their kids just seem exponentially hotter than your regular ho-hum run-on-the-mill single guy.
This totally extends to celebs. Sure, all of these papi's are super hot in their own right, but add some little ones to the mix and just watch how all the chicas will crowd around to ooh and ahh at the pictures. Sigh…we're so predictable.
Here are some of our favorite Latin papi's. The fact that every single one of them is devastatingly handsome has nothing to do with this (OK, I'm totally lying, but don't act like you don't love it!):
__Mark Consuelos
__Kelly Ripa's man seems like such a cool dude! He's more than willing to take a back seat to his wife's monstrous fame while at the same time totally supporting her. Plus, he is obviously such an awesome dad to his three kids Michael, Lola and Joaquin. His oldest is a straight up mini-me and he loves spending time with them: "We have dinner every single night, Monday through Friday, with our children. We sit down around 6 or 6:30 and it's a family dinner — it's time to check in, just to be around each other. The phones are off," he told People.
__Ricky Martin
__Sigh, Ricky Martin makes me want to screech like a teenage girl. And the second he became a dad and those gorgeous pics of him frolicking on the beach with his babies came out, I was a goner–hook, line and sinker. Of course he's an amazing father, because he's an amazing everything. "I don't want to sound cliché, another father talking about unconditional love, but man, that's the way it is," Martin has said of his twins Matteo and Valentino. "You hear it all the time, but when you feel this other branch of love getting stronger and stronger every day, it's just amazing."
__Juanes
__After some turmoil in his marriage, Juanes realized that he just loved his daughters Paloma and Luna, and his wife Karen Martinez too much to ever live without them. Sure, he may have made some mistakes, but he obviously worked it out with Martinez and rejoined the family because just a year later they welcomed their first baby boy, Dante, into the world.
__William Levy
__This super hot papi just burst on to the mainstream American scene and thousands of screaming women are so very thankful for it. Though he refuses to confirm or deny his current relationship status with baby mama Elizabeth Gutierrez, the one thing he's never been shy about is his crazy love for his kids, Christopher Alexander and Kailey Alexandra. "They love [me on the show]," he gushed. "They really love it. They're really enjoying me being on here. One of them came tonight. [My kids] have changed my life."
__Andy Garcia
__This Cuban papi has been married for 20+ years–in other words, FOREVAH in Hollywood terms. He's always kept his personal life, well, personal, but the eldest of his four children, Dominik is starting to get into the business now so we're getting to see more of his awesome fathering at work. In addition to Dominik (27), he has two other daughters, Daniella and Alessandra and one son named Andres. "It's my duty as a father to be the best example I can possibly be to my four children," he recently said. "I can't be hypocritical. I can't say to them to do one thing, and then do something different myself. That's my responsibility to them as a father."
__Benjamin Bratt
__This gorgeous dad has an equally gorgeous wife in Talisa Soto. They also have two beautiful children, Sophia Rosalinda and Mateo Bravery. What most folks don't know is that their daughter suffered a brain injury when she was born and has physical disabilities as a result. So, Bratt stepped away from his big time movie career and focused on TV work instead, because, in his own words, he "cannot be a great husband and father — especially the father of a child with special needs" unless he is home with his family. Awww….
__Chayanne
__OK, this one is for my abuelita who has loved Chayanne since before it was probably legal for her to! The Puerto Rican papito has two children with former Venezuelan beauty queen Marilisa Maronesse, Lorenzo Valentino and Isadora Sofia. He's always on tour and recording but he admits, "Being away from my family on my tours and losing my freedom when I want to protect my people" are some of the worse aspects of his fame. But he insists, "I do not want to think people to think I'm a perfect man, a perfect father or husband, because I'm not." Mmm hmmm…You don't have to be perfect Chayanne, we still love you!
__Pablo Montero
__You know something? I love a bad boy and Pablo Montero just about fits the bill! He's super sexy and an super famous all across Mexico for his music and his star turns in popular telenovelas like Triunfo del Amor. He's had his ups and downs with the law, but he's always been there for his son Pablo (aka Oscar, Pablo's real name) born in 2007 to fellow actress Sandra Vidal. He just had a second baby girl named Carolina, born the 27th of February to Pablo and his wife Carolina Van Wielink. He tweeted a pic recently with the adorable note: "Meet our beautiful princess." Daughters really CAN change their fathers!
