Robin Thicke’s Toddler Gives Him The Best Wrong Father’s Day Gift Ever
Robin Thicke just got the most hilarious Father’s Day gift ever, and he’s totally owning it. On June 17, the Blurred Lines singer shared a snapshot of his 4-year-old son Luca’s “#1 Dad” school assignment on Instagram. The answers? Adorably chaotic. According to Luca, his dad is 18 years old and works full-time making paper and crayons. Robin’s reaction? “All correct 💪 thank you Luca Patrick Thicke ❤️🕺😳.”
For Robin, 48, that kind of moment is what fatherhood is all about: joy, chaos, and deep meaning all wrapped in a toddler’s logic. And honestly, being mistaken for a teenage crayon maker sounds like a compliment.
Robin is now a proud father of four: Julian, 13 (whom he shares with ex-wife Paula Patton), and Mia, Lola, and Luca — all with model April Love Geary. He and April tied the knot on May 30, 2025, and shared a heartwarming black-and-white wedding photo with their children all dressed up. “Happy Life! 😇,” Robin captioned it, looking every bit the beaming husband and dad.
But the real turning point for Robin’s life came in 2016, when he lost his father, legendary actor Alan Thicke. The grief hit hard but fatherhood helped him heal. “I think probably when I lost my father, it’s no coincidence that I’ve had three children in the last few years…because that’s how big that hole is,” he told PEOPLE.
Becoming a father again and again wasn’t just emotional — it was redemptive. And now, he’s not just leaning into dad life, he’s trying to do it right. Back in October 2024, Robin spoke to Nessa on Hot 97 about what parenting means to him. After going through co-parenting therapy, he said the biggest lesson he learned was simple but powerful: teach your kids how to make good decisions.
“Because we are not going to be there all the time when they need to make a good decision and that’s what you really want to impart upon them is quality decision making throughout their whole life,” he explained.
His parenting style? Be present. Pay attention. Notice the strengths and the slip-ups.
“You know, they’re gonna struggle with things. They’re gonna have weaknesses at times,” he said.
