Bindi Irwin 

The soon-to-be mum shared a sweet throwback photo with her late father Steve Irwin, simply captioning: “You’re always in my heart.” 

Zoe Foster Blake

To commemorate the special day, the Go-To founder penned a sweet poem. 

“He was working on the radio in Melbourne town,
Livin’ in a sharehouse that would make you frown,

What was he to do, where was he to go
Could he just be fun-ny?

So off in a plane from Elwood up to Sydney’s door,
He was there to do gags but this girl she saw more,

He had style, he had flair, and he cared,
that’s how he became, the Daddyyyyy

Who would have guessed that the boy we described,
was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?

Now the girl finds him beguiling, (watch out An-dy!)
The kids are really smiling, (might be can-dy!)

He’s the boy turning red when everybody else is going taaan,
The funny boy from Melbourne, the Daddy named Ham! ❤️”

Celebrating his second Father’s Day, Matty J marked the occasion with a series of dad jokes.

Father’s Day this year also coincided with Miranda’s husband James’ 30th birthday, so the actress posted a sweet tribute to both important men in her life. “My gorgeous husband on the left turns 30 today. Thank you for giving up your Mario t-shirt so that we could be seen in public together. I hope you like your cheesecake and your cookbooks. Since it’s also Father’s Day, and I’m missing my Dad up in Darwin, I thought I’d put up this adorable picture of him with James 😍 I hope you have a wonderful day out bush with your Sauvignon Blanc. Both of them are very good eggs and I love them very much.”
