Some male celebs, like Brad Pitt, are known for having big broods. Others fly under the radar and aren't as public about being dads because they are private people or want to shield their celeb offspring from the spotlight. Famous men have different reasons for keeping their lives with their children quiet.

From Adam Brody, who became famous on The O.C. and eventually married "Blair Waldorf' (Leighton Meester) from Gossip Girl, to Alexis Bledel's hubby, who appeared on Mad Men, and beyond, there are plenty of low-key dads who quietly take on parenting duty without all the interviews. These guys get photographed with their kids but don't get the same level of attention as other famous fathers, such as Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Gordon Ramsay, and Ben Affleck.

This is a diverse group of guys, all of whom embrace fatherhood without tooting their own horns. Anyone who loves reading about Hollywood will enjoy reading about the 20 male celebs many people forget are dads.

20 Adam Brody, Father Of Arlo

Could there possibly be a cuter married couple than Adam Brody and Leighton Meester? Maybe Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds give them a run for their money, but Adam and Leighton are pretty adorable, aren't they? Even more adorable is their little daughter, Arlo Day Brody.

Arlo was born in August of 2015. Leighton has said that she doesn't like talking about her daughter too much to the press, so that's one reason why we don't automatically think "daddy" when we think of Adam Brody. Adam says that Leighton does the bulk of childcare, but he's right there to help when needed.

19 Jeffrey Dean Morgan Is a Daddy

Are you a Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan? He's appeared on Grey's Anatomy and Supernatural, as well as big-budget action flicks, such as Watchmen. He's really well-known at this point in time, thanks to his role on The Walking Dead. What a lot of people don't know about Jeffrey is that he's a loving father to a son and a daughter.

Now, 52, Jeffrey Dean Morgan doesn't plan on having more children with his spouse, Hilarie Burton, who is 35. Their daughter is named George and their son is named Augustus.  Jeffrey helped a midwife to deliver their second child. This family of four is now complete.

18 Vincent Kartheiser Is Married To Alexis Bledel

Sure, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are adorable celeb parents, but so are Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel. Vincent and Alexis do seem ideally suited. They both seem refined, reserved and intelligent. Vincent played the iconic role of Peter Dyckman Campbell on Mad Men.

If you loved that show, like I did, you already know that his portrayal of Campbell was amazing. He brought so much nuance to that role. Alexis Bledel is also a superb actress. Her performances in The Handmaid's Tale show so much depth. Vincent and Alexis have one son, who was born in 2016. They do not parade their child around for the press.

17 Jason Statham Is a Private Person

Jason Statham has always been cool and entertaining in his "strong but silent type" roles. Lately, he's been showing the world that he has wonderful comedic instincts. He was mysterious and exciting in The Transporter, and really hilarious in Spy with Melissa McCarthy. Jason's partner is English model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

They have one son, named Jack Oscar Statham. Jason and Rosie seem very happy and were recently caught by roving photographers as they shopped for drapes. Jason appeared in Fate of the Furious - his career is very A-list these days. He prefers to keep his private life out of the spotlight when he can.

He's currently getting romantic with an Irish Top Gear producer. Her name is Aurora Mulligan.

The baby was a daughter named Delilah, who came along in August of 2011. The baby had a baptism ceremony in Puerto Rico, where Benicio is from. Benicio does get photographed with Delilah sometimes, but he isn't doing photo shoots with her or anything like that. He's more low-key.

The first One Direction member to become a father was Louis Tomlinson. He became a dad to cutie-pie, Freddie, in late January of 2016. Although he wasn't romantically involved with the baby's mother, Briana, when the baby was born, he was in attendance during labor.

Louis' son recently had to be evacuated from his home due to the wildfires, but Freddie is ok. Freddie is now two years of age and a lot of people find that he strongly resembles his famous father.

11 Tyrese Is A Father

You may have heard about Tyrese's child support money battle with his ex-wife. She is the mother of Tyrese's daughter, Shayla, who is now eleven years old. This battle has played out in the tabloids, but Tyrese is still better known for his performances in the Fast and Furious films.

Tyrese may not be appearing in those films in the future, due to a beef with Vin Deisel, and this will hurt his earning power. Tyrese is looking for full custody, which would reduce the amount of money that he has to give to his ex-wife. In the past, Tyrese has shown a lot of love for his daughter. He even bought her an island.

For a while, he seemed unsure about which woman he wanted to settle down with. During 2018, Grant made his final decision and proposed to Anna. They later married in a low-key ceremony. Grant seems quite domesticated these days. He's enjoying married life and gives all of his children lots of love and attention.

9 Simon Cowell Dotes On His Son

Online, we always see reports about how kids are mini-me's of their celebrity parents, even when their kids really aren't that similar to their mothers and fathers in terms of their looks.

The exception is Simon Cowell's son, Eric, who definitely strongly resembles his famous father. Eric has the same dark hair and features. He really is a mini-me of the American Idol icon and producer. Simon seems smitten with his little son. He's always carrying him around and looks happy whenever he's with Eric. Maybe having a child later in life, when he's mellowed a bit with age, was the right thing for Simon.
