“Happy Fathers Day Karlitos❤️ thank you for making us laugh everyday! We love you ❤️🥰 @karlstefanovic_.”
In a lengthy post accompanied by a series of images of her husband, Richard Bell, Back To The Rafters star Rebecca Gibney could not stop raving about her beloved.
“This man. From the moment our son was born and they locked eyes he has been the protector. When we left the hospital he drove so slowly home because of the precious cargo in the back seat. Every night he stayed up to record his feeds with me, he changed as many nappies as I did, lay on the floor next to Zac’s cot when he couldn’t sleep to stroke his head. Painted clouds on his bedroom wall so Zac could always feel like he was flying. Built aeroplanes out of cardboard when Zac left toys on holidays ( and we had them posted back) so he could reunite them with our son. Drew cartoons on brown paper lunch bags every day before school to help Zac learn his times table.
“And today when Zac is nearly 18 Richard still makes him breakfast, plays music to wake him up and drives him to the bus stop. When I have had to go away for work it is Richard who is always here for Zac. No one could love our son more and Zac is so very blessed to call him Dad. Thank you darling Richard for giving our son the best gift in the world. You. Happy Fathers Day. We love you so much ♥️ ( and as a couple of the pictures show he always takes a back seat because he has always wanted us to have the front in more ways than one ..).”
Former Home & Away star Sarah Roberts delighted fans by sharing a polaroid shot of her husband James Stewart and his daughter, Scout.
“You’re the centre of our family’s happiness. Happy Father’s Day @__jamesstewart__ ,” Sarah wrote.
In a reminiscent post, former Olympian Lisa Curry shared a series of vintage snaps from her childhood to commemorate Father’s Day.
She wrote: “Happy Father’s day to all the dads today … here and wherever they are. Thanks for choosing me
“This is where my happy place was, in the pool with dad and pop.. Who remembers having a pool like this ?! @melaniecurryartist #scottinberlin.”
Aussie TV presenter Melissa Doyle marked the sweet occasion by sharing photos with both her husband, John Dunlop, and father, Robert.
“Happy Father’s Day to two of the best dads I know ❤️❤️,” Mel wrote on Instagram.
Home & Away star Penny McNamee marked this Father’s Day by exposing her dad for some cheeky behaviour.
“To the man who illegally videoed every musical I was in. Happy Father’s Day Dad. 🎥❤️,” Penny penned.
Despite dealing with a big Block cheating scandal, Scott Cam still found time to celebrate this Father’s Day with those he loves the most.
Posting a series of family photos to the Gram, the carpenter wrote: “It was a long time ago that I became a father, 25 years in fact. Today reminds me of how lucky I am. Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads!”
