We’re already overwhelmed with all the sweet daddy-daughter content this week, and it’s only Tuesday! Yesterday, we were not emotionally prepared for the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 monitor footage that retired football player Andrew East shared of him and his 4-year-old daughter Drew. He told the little girl — whom he shares with his wife Shawn Johnson along with son Jett, 2 — that she can’t grow up unless she promised to love him forever.
“Alright? What am I going to do when you’re not my 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl?”
“I’ll still — I’ll love you so, so much,” she said, giving him a hug, a smooch, and wiping away his happy tears.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Around the same time, Brittany Mahomes shared the most precious video on her Instagram story (see it HERE or HERE before it disappears!) of her husband — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes — painting their toddler’s fingernails purple.
“Sterling, is dad painting your nails?” she asked her toddler who was sitting at the table with her fingers spread out.

Patrick smiled at the camera and his daughter, clearly taking his role seriously. Meanwhile, the little girl watched her nails intensely, clearly entranced by the manicure process.
“The best daddy,” Brittany wrote over the video.
The mom of two didn’t share a picture of the final result (Consider this a formal request, Brittany!), but it couldn’t have been terrible, right? Right?! The man has two Super Bowl wins to his name and is known for having precise and steady hands.

It was such a sweet bonding moment, and we were so happy to see Patrick throw gender norms out the window, happily obliging to sit and paint his daughter’s nails. We love it when we see girl dads do things like this for their daughters. Almost as much as we love to see them go along with the opposite scenario. Chris Pratt, Dwayne Johnson, Derek Jeter, and more have all gotten makeovers from their little girls. Look out, Patrick. You may have the same in your future.
