“Daddy Day! They got dressed and is cutting up – These two in the vibes!!!!!!”

Priority: Quality Time With Shayla And Soraya

Gibson’s images show him in a casual camo T-shirt and baseball cap, kneeling beside his eldest daughter, Shayla, and youngest, Soraya, as they mug for the mirror. With goofy grins, exaggerated poses and a handful of dance moves, the family of three looks right at home in their living room studio. Fans were quick to heart the post, praising the “adorable trio” and Gibson’s playful energy.

A Father’s Love Through The Years

The 45-year-old star has built a reputation for sharing personal moments with his children over the years. Shayla Jade Gibson arrived in 2011, followed by Soraya Ileana in late 2019, and both girls have become regulars on their dad’s social feed. Last Father’s Day, Tyrese gave followers a glimpse of the surprise his daughters planned:

There, Shayla and Soraya showed off handmade cards and a decorated breakfast tray—proof that the duo are already pros at celebrating “King Gibson,” as their father fondly calls himself.

From Music To Movies To Fatherhood

Before he was setting the pace in toy-driving stunts and high-octane chases in the Fast & Furious franchise, Gibson earned fame as an R&B singer with chart-topping singles like “Sweet Lady” and “How You Gonna Act Like That.” He then made a splash in Hollywood with his breakthrough role in the 2001 film Baby Boy, a coming-of-age drama in which he played Jody. Earlier this month, Tyrese recounted another sweet family moment when his daughter insisted on pulling over to watch “Baby Boy” on a highway marquee—proudly announcing that both her dad and her friend’s dad had made a “classic.”

Off-screen, Gibson frequently speaks about the lessons of fatherhood: patience, presence and unconditional love. In interviews, he credits his own upbringing for teaching him the importance of being “fully there” for his kids—an ethos he clearly put into action for “Daddy Day.”

With all the high-speed thrills of his film and music career, it’s these low-key, laughter-filled afternoons that have resonated most with fans. As one follower commented, “You’re not just the hero on screen—you’re their hero off screen, too.”

In sharing these candid, unfiltered snapshots, Tyrese Gibson reminds us that behind the action-movie persona is a devoted dad who treasures every giggle, dance-off and “vibe” with his girls.
