CELEBRITY FATHER'S DAY TRIBUTES: JUICY MOMENTS AND HEARTWARMING SHOUTOUTS

In a season of love and appreciation, our favorite celebrities took to social media to honor the special men in their lives - their dads! From throwback photos to heartfelt messages, we've got the scoop on who's saying what.

Justin Timberlake Goes Retro

In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985

Pop sensation Justin Timberlake celebrated Father's Day with a blast from the past. The 44-year-old singer shared an epic throwback snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with Charles Randall Timberlake, his dad. But that wasn't all - JT also gave a shoutout to his stepdad, Paul Harless, who he's been close to since his mom Janet remarried the Baptist church choir director in 1986.

The Grammy-winning crooner took it up a notch by posting another snap of himself with his sons, Silas and Phineas. But we couldn't help but notice that one of the photos featured his stepdad with little Phineas - a sweet nod to his blended family. "There's no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father," JT gushed on Instagram. "To teach and to learn at the same time... I feel beyond blessed."

And it seems like Justin Timberlake is feeling extra grateful this Father's Day - especially since he got some rare quality time with his loved ones. His wife, Jessica Biel, reposted his slideshow with a heartwarming caption: "Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!" But don't get too jealous - sources close to the couple revealed that Justin is actually in Europe celebrating solo.

One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Justin made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute

Gigi Hadid Honors Her 'Baba'

Meanwhile, supermodel Gigi Hadid celebrated her own father figure with a touching tribute. The 30-year-old beauty shared a childhood throwback snap with her "baba" Mohamed Hadid - her late grandfather, who passed away in 1989.

Gigi also took to Instagram to post snaps of her Palestinian grandfather Anwar Hadid and Dutch grandfather Gerard van den Herik, who sadly passed away in a car accident when Gigi's mom was just seven. But what really caught our attention was the sweet caption accompanying the photos: "To all the dads out there making their mark on the world... even if it's from beyond this life."

Emma Heming Willis Opens Up About Bruce

In a more emotional tribute, actress Emma Heming Willis shared a poignant photo of her husband, Bruce, with their 11-year-old daughter Evelyn. The post comes as Bruce continues to battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD) - a rare condition that affects memory and cognitive function.

Emma, who has been open about her struggles caring for her husband, wrote: "Happy Father's Day to all the dads living with disability or disease... showing up in the ways they can." The 46-year-old Make Time podcaster also confessed that she was feeling overwhelmed on this particular day. "I'm profoundly sad today," Emma admitted. "I wish things could be different for him and lighter for our family."

The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas
