Bill Tamlyn is the gay Instagram daddy you need to follow

Bill Tamlyn is many things: a father, a model, and a certifiable Instagram daaaaaddy. In terms of shirtless men, he ranks up there with the best of them.

The 52-year-old single-dad from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who boasts over 29,000 followers on his Instagram account, told Gay Star News in an interview last year that “he juggles fatherhood with a demanding modeling career” and hits the gym almost every day.

With regards to his sons, he said, “For all I’ve taught them, I feel like they’ve taught me even more.”

Excuse me while I soothe my non-existent ovaries.

Here are a bunch of his best and most thirst-trap-worthy Instagram photos:

Here's to another trip around the sun. Feeling grateful for all the ups and downs of life these past 51 years. Grateful for my family, friends and my work. For my two beautiful sons; they are my world. For my good health and happiness even when it feels elusive at times. For my wrinkles, grey hair (aka God's highlights), bumps and bruises. For laughter, love and feeling alive again. And for all the birthday love and well wishes from friends near and far. Cheers to you! #thisis51 #birthdayboy #leo #itsnotataco #roseallday / Trunks by @rondorff 😎

When I get stressed out by everyday life, work or the holidays – especially the holidays – I stop, take a breath and think back to the amazing moments I had in Italy. The art. The cities and villages. My daily gelato. The people I met. And eating pizza in bed cuz I needed some quiet me time. This is the season of giving, but don’t forget to take time for you and give something to yourself. Even if it’s pizza. 🍕❤️🎁

Oh deer (yes, i know it’s “dear,” just roll with it #homonym), two weeks in Italy and I’m outta clean clothes! 🙀 Good thing my @airbnb has a washing machine. Anyway, I’m excited to be finishing my Italian adventure in #Milano. The holiday is going to take a backseat for a bit tho while I meet with agencies to look for representation here. Pretty exciting stuff, and I feel blessed to be at this point in my career. Thank you to @ztmodels and @kevin_pineda_ for giving me a shot at something greater. 🙏🏼💖🤞🏼#livingthedream

Last day in Umbria. It’s been beyond imagination. A dream come true that’s exceeded all my expectations. The people, the natural beauty, the FOOD! I’m in awe and can’t wait to come back. Tomorrow it’s on to Florence. The dream continues. #livingthedream
