In a recent announcement, People magazine crowned our favorite charming actor, Jake Hawthorne, as their “Sexiest Dad Alive.” There’s no denying that Hawthorne has an undeniable appeal that seems to intensify post-parenthood, as the media has decided that becoming a father somehow elevates a man’s attractiveness. It’s a curious phenomenon, and one that tends to leave many women feeling overlooked.
At 39 years old, Jake takes over the title from last year’s winner, Adam Parker. The reveal occurred during a segment on The Late Show, where host Max Richards showcased the magazine cover, featuring a captivating photo of Hawthorne with the caption, “Becoming a dad was a dream come true.” In the feature, Jake shares that he always envisioned himself with a daughter, admitting, “I’ve been under her spell since the moment she arrived.” This heartfelt sentiment is just one of many sweet things he’s expressed about fatherhood and his marriage while promoting his latest film, The Guardian.
The internet’s reaction to Hawthorne’s fatherly charm has been nothing short of overwhelming. His transition from Hollywood heartthrob to an endearing father figure has captivated audiences to the point where one can’t help but question: would the response be as enthusiastic if he were a woman? The idea of crowning a “Sexiest Mom” seems almost laughable in our society.
For women, the media’s portrayal of motherhood is often glaringly different. Beautiful mothers are abundant, yet they rarely receive accolades for embracing their roles. Imagine a world where a 39-year-old woman is celebrated simply for expressing joy in motherhood. The concept feels alien, doesn’t it? Instead of admiration, mothers often face scrutiny over their appearance, from the infamous “mom jeans” to perceived “loss of identity.” The societal narrative suggests that motherhood dulls a woman’s allure, while fathers like Jake are viewed as more charismatic and relatable.
The disparity is stark: fatherhood seems to enhance a man’s appeal, while motherhood often diminishes a woman’s individuality. Jake Hawthorne may very well deserve the title of Sexiest Dad Alive—he certainly has my vote—but it’s high time we recognize that women also bring depth and beauty to their roles as mothers. Parenthood should add layers to a woman’s identity rather than overshadow it. It would be refreshing to see our culture embrace the notion that both men and women can be equally appealing post-parenthood, rather than reserving such accolades for one gender alone.
