A Loving Tribute
Actor Kevin Connolly woke up to a sweet Father’s Day surprise from longtime partner Zulay Henao. On June 18, the Colombian-American actress took to Instagram with a tender caption: “Happy Father’s Day Papi! We love you babe, thank you for being our home! You are Daddying beautifully, just look at the smiles in these pictures… muah baby. @mrkevinconnolly.”
Alongside her message she shared a series of four sunlit snapshots showing Connolly playing with their two young children. In one image he lifts a giggling toddler above his head; in another he rests on the sofa with a beaming preschooler perched on his lap. The joy on their faces speaks volumes about the actor’s devotion to fatherhood.
Star’s Parenting Journey
This isn’t the first time Connolly has given fans a peek at life as a hands-on dad. Back in March, he poked fun at family sports rivalries when he posted a shot of daughter-and-dad at a restaurant. He wrote, “Tough conversation explaining to my daughter that the @nyislanders are not playing in the Super Bowl today!!! @zulay_henao #benihana.” That candid moment underlined his playful bond with their little one—and Zulay’s good-humored support.
Kevin and Zulay rarely make headlines for anything other than their nurturing family dynamic. On Mother’s Day this year, Connolly returned the favor by showering Zulay with roses and calling her “the heart of our home.” Together they’ve shown social media that parenting can be fun, affectionate and utterly genuine.
Career Highlights
Best known for his Emmy-nominated turn as Eric “E” Murphy on HBO’s hit series Entourage (2004–2011), Connolly has built a versatile resume. After a childhood acting debut in the 1980s, he earned notice in films such as Antwone Fisher (2002) and Marley & Me (2008). In 2018 he made his directorial debut on the John Travolta thriller Gotti, adding producer and director credits to his résumé.
Off-screen, Connolly has dabbled in documentary work and hosts Victory Podcast, where he invites fellow actors, athletes and creators to share stories from behind the curtain. This spring he even teased a guest appearance on Zulay’s favorite shows, teasing that he’d join her on a new streaming lifestyle series—yet another facet of his creative life beyond Entourage.
Looking Ahead
As Kevin Connolly enters his late 40s, his career shows no signs of slowing. But it’s clear that family comes first. Fans have been quick to shower the Instagram post with likes and comments praising his nurturing side: “Cutest dad ever,” wrote one follower, while another teased, “He’s doing fatherhood better than any of his on-screen gigs.”
With another year of fatherhood under his belt, Connolly can look forward to more milestone moments shared online—birthdays, back-to-school first days and summer vacations. After all, if Father’s Day is any indication, he’s more than earned his title of “Papi.”
Every photo—and every smile—celebrates a chapter in a family story that continues to unfold on camera, on set and at home.
