Our 15 Hottest Latino Dads

It’s Father’s Day weekend, and we thought we should celebrate all the amazing Latinos raising their children—who look damn good doing it! We all have our favorites (read on to see who the staff picked and why) but Creative Director Paul Bruno said it best: “Latino dads very often get a bad wrap. Personally, I’ve never seen any man step up to the demands of fatherhood like a Latino man.”

Here are our picks for the 15 hottest Latino celeb papis:


Production Director Sandra Volino picked Pitbull: “Dale! Of course.” (Full disclosure, Sandra lives on Planet Pit and her desk is a small shrine to the man.)


Celebrity Bookings Director Jazmine Perez picked Javier Bardem: “Somehow, being a new dad makes him even more attractive.”

Deputy Editor Angie Romero picked Daddy Yankee: “The name says it all. He will forever be Papi Yankee. Plus, he’s super fit these days!


Retail & Lifestyle Director Michelle Cortes picked Robbie Rosa (Dracko) “He combines sexiness, rocker status, jibaro, passion and family man all in one. He’s like the Latino version of Seal and he was in MENUDO!”


Creative Director Paul Bruno picked Marc Anthony: “He seems like such a fun and loving father to grow up around!”


Sales & Production Assistant Laura Hernandez picked Andy Garcia: “He’s very attentive with his kids and I think that’s sexy in a man.”



Senior Account Executive Jackie O’Connor picked Alex Rodriguez: “He’s hot on and off the field.”


Fashion Market Editor Verky Arcos picked Mark Consuelos: “I love that even though he’s SUPER hot and got married at a young age, he’s very devoted and committed to his wife and children.


Director of Digital Stacey Rivera picked Benjamin Bratt: “Imagine if your dad had that smile? How could that not calm an upset child (and probably mami, too!)


Online Editor Mariela Rosario double dipped with Gael Garcia Bernal & Diego Luna: "This is a two-for-one because these papis are so close they even had their babies at the same time! Plus, they are just as good at being dads as they are at being there for each other."


Associate Entertainment Editor Lee Hernandez picked Freddie Prinze Jr.:“Freddie Prinze and Sarah Michelle Gellar seem to be really in love – both with each other, and with their daughter Charlotte Grace Prinze.”


Managing Editor Yuliana Gomez picked Juanes: “Juanes is my favorite dad because he stands by his family—no matter what he has going on, his wife and kids are most important.”


Beauty Editor Kate Sandoval didn’t have to think that hard before choosing William Levy: “Um, what more do you need to know? He’s incredibly hot.”


The whole staff picked Ricky Martin! We all agree with Michelle Cortes: “Ricky’s the sexiest dad ever because he exudes adoration for his kids. You can tell they are truly his life.”

Latino Stars Who Rule the Twitterverse

Here's a round-up of our fave celebs to follow on Twitter and why:

Mariah Carey: @MariahCarey
Followers: 4,063,790

Why You Should Follow: Because the woman tweets while having contractions for crying out loud! This weekend, after being rushed to the hospital on her b-day following a false labor scare, the pop princess made sure to let all her little lambs know that everything was OK.

Typical Tweet:  “They almost came on 3/27- happy anniversary in deed!!! We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: ) #soreadyallready!”


Shakira: @shakira
Twitter Followers: 5,048,308

Why You Should Follow: Shakira is a citizen of the world and it shows! The Colombian pop star spends as much time on her philanthropic and political endeavors as she does on her music and her Twitter is a trilingual celebration of her can-do attitude. She also uses social media to share personal news, as she did when she announced her break-up from Antonio de la Rua. Soon after, her new bf Gerard Pique was posting photos of their joint birthday celebration on Facebook!

Typical Tweet: “Thanks to President Rousseff for today's meeting! We won't give up on Early Childhood Development in Latin America @movimientoalas – Shak”


Ricky Martin: @ricky_martin
Twitter Followers: 2,624,994

Why You Should Follow: Ricky Martin is about as beautiful inside as he is on the outside. He consistently uses his Twitter account to uplift his followers, share important news about children’s rights and give his fans input into stuff like his set list for his upcoming Musica+Sexo+Alma tour (MAS) which just kicked off in Martin’s home town of San Juan, PR.

Typical Tweet: “I am many things and I am nothing! I am love, truth, light. I am music, I am YOU!”



Daddy Yankee: @dynation
Twitter Followers: 1,027,456

Why You Should Follow: Daddy Yankee has a lot of really serious fans following him on Twitter and if you’re into Spanish-language Urban music you should be following him too! DY and his nation are always tweeting about the coolest new stuff any guy would love, like the NBA Dunk contest, New York City and…Elizabeth Taylor?! Hey, Yankee has diverse interests.

Typical Tweet: “ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE- DY "PRESTIGE" ✈✈✈✈✈✈✈ to NYC.



Perez Hilton: @PerezHilton
Twitter Followers: 3,135,037

Why You Should Follow: Perez may have started “Hollywood’s Most Hated Website” but the gossip king shows nothing but love to his celeb friends on Twitter. From Lady Gaga to Selena Gomez, Hilton is always dishing with the biggest stars. His recent Blue Ball birthday party was an example of how much Hollywood actually loves the Cuban blogger, everyone and their mother was in attendance.

Typical Tweet: “@ladygaga I love you so much! Thank you for being a REAL friend! I will cherish your present forever! Let's hope I don't die using it! Ha xo”


Selena Gomez: @selenagomez
Twitter Followers: 4,576,033

Why You Should Follow: Sure, her beau Justin Bieber’s rabid Beliebers may be threatening her life, but Gomez isn’t going to let a little thing like a death threat keep her away from her Twitter! Selena consistently uses her tweets to share love with her fans, and debut new music and projects. But we love her pics most of all, like the one she retweeted today of her recent reunion with former bestie (and fellow Twitter lover) Demi Lovato!

Typical Tweet: “Who says your not beautiful, party like it's not your birthday @AllstarWeekend + my scene = epic summer tour!! Soooo excited :)”



Jessica Alba: @jessicaalba
Twitter Followers: 1,185,792

Why You Should Follow: Jessica Alba’s Twitter account is refreshingly mundane for an A-list Hollywood starlet. She uses the service to share cute photos of with friends and family and occasionally pick a funny fight with hubby Cash Warren (also a rabid Tweeter) over American Idol. But she also dropped a big bomb earlier this year via the social networking tool, telling fans and followers that she was pregnant with baby number 2 before any tabloid was able to break the news.

Typical Tweet: “Sorry @cash_warren no matter how much you practice you will never sound like Jacob Lusk.”


Enrique Iglesias: @enrique305
Twitter Followers: 821,209

Why You Should Follow: Enrique’s popularity is only growing on the immense popularity of his latest album Euphoria. Iglesias has been tweeting pics from the tour consistently, showing us night after night of sold-out crowds. He’s also not afraid to show a little man love (he only follows two people: Pitbull and Cristiano Ronaldo) on Twitter and gives props to his musical collaborators, as unlikely as they may seem at times!

Typical Tweet: “Hey guys follow @RedOne_Official! He's truly a musical genius, so you should check out all the great artist he's working with. He's like a brother to me and I'm so proud of all his accomplishments.”
