Top 13 BL Actors Who Are Proud Fathers in Real Life

In the world of BL (Boys' Love) dramas, we often focus on the heart-fluttering chemistry between lead couples. However, many fans are delighted to find that several of the industry's most popular actors are actually devoted fathers in their private lives. As of 2026, these 13 actors have successfully navigated the transition from "onscreen idols" to "real-life dads."

The Top Names on the List:

1. Mike Angelo: Perhaps the most famous "BL Dad," Mike has been very open about his love for his son, Maxwell. His journey as a father has been closely followed by fans for years.

2. Push Puttichai: The Thai superstar (who has appeared in BL-adjacent and bromance-heavy roles) welcomed his son, PJ, with his wife Jooy, melting hearts across social media.

3. Thassapak Hsu (Bie): Known for his roles in both Thai and Chinese dramas, Bie is a proud father to two daughters, Paopao and Paopei.

4. Takuya Kimura: While a legendary J-drama figure, his influence on the "Pretty Boy" aesthetic that defined early BL cannot be ignored—he is a father to two famous daughters.

5. New Chaiyapol: A versatile actor who has appeared in diverse roles, including those with BL themes, is now a happy father.

6. Gunsmile Chanagun: A favorite from the 2gether series, Gunsmile has shared glimpses of his life as a young, cool dad.

(Note: The list also includes actors like Lee Hyun Wook and Choi Sung Eun who have portrayed fathers in BL/LGBTQ+ themed stories while managing their own families privately, as well as veteran actors like Theeradej Wongpuapan who laid the groundwork for the industry.)

These actors continue to prove that they can portray complex romantic characters on screen while providing a loving home for their children off-screen.
