Actor Matt Lanter has melted hearts across social media with an intimate glimpse into one of parenthood’s most cherished milestones – his first daddy-daughter dance with his daughter.
The star took to Instagram to share a collection of touching photos and a video from the special event, accompanied by a heartfelt caption that resonated with parents everywhere: “Our first Daddy-Daughter dance. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of her tiny hand in mine.”
The images show Lanter dressed in formal attire alongside his daughter, who is wearing a beautiful white dress with floral accents for the occasion. The series captures both posed portraits and candid moments of their dance together, highlighting the bond between father and daughter.
A Special Father-Daughter Moment
In the photos, Lanter appears like a proud father, smiling alongside his little girl. One particularly touching image shows them in a dance pose, with his daughter’s hand in his – the moment referenced in his heartfelt caption. The post has quickly garnered thousands of likes and supportive comments from fans and fellow celebrities alike, with many relating to the emotional milestone.
Lanter, known for his roles across film and television, has been increasingly sharing glimpses of his family life on social media. This latest post offers fans a rare and tender look at his life as a father.
Growing Lanter Family
This special moment comes shortly after some exciting family news for the Lanters. Just days before posting about the daddy-daughter dance, Matt and his wife Angela announced they are expecting their second child. In a post shared on his Instagram account, the couple revealed: “Lanter- party of four 🫶🏼 Our rainbow baby is coming late summer and we couldn’t be more excited.”
The announcement explained that their daughter Kenny (short for McKenna) has been “praying for a sibling for years” and is already practicing her big sister duties by holding baby dolls and supporting their heads.
Matt Lanter’s Career And Personal Journey
For fans who know Lanter primarily from his professional work, the actor has built an impressive career spanning both on-screen roles and voice acting. He is perhaps best known for voicing Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and subsequent Star Wars animated productions.
He also starred as Wyatt Logan in NBC’s time-travel series “Timeless” and had a notable role as Liam Court in the CW’s reboot of “90210.”
Recently, Lanter has been involved in the animated series “Gabriel and the Guardians,” where he is part of an all-star voice cast that includes Johnny Yong Bosch, Cristina Vee, and James Arnold Taylor.
Beyond his professional achievements, Lanter has been open about personal challenges as well. In a recent Instagram post marking the three-year anniversary of a serious health scare, he detailed his experience with a medical emergency that required surgery after being initially misdiagnosed. His gratitude for surviving this ordeal was evident as he reflected on how it changed his perspective.
Family Life In The Spotlight
While Lanter maintains a busy professional schedule, his social media increasingly reflects his priorities as a family man. From dancing to ’90s music with his family (which he humorously noted “totally slapped” in another recent post) to sharing their life in Tennessee, the actor has found a balance between his public career and private life.
The daddy-daughter dance represents just one of many meaningful family moments Lanter has chosen to share with his followers, offering a glimpse into the personal life behind the professional facade.
As he prepares to welcome another child later this year, these precious moments with his firstborn take on even greater significance – marking the final months before their family of three becomes four.
For now, it’s clear from his heartfelt post that Lanter is treasuring these special father-daughter moments, creating memories that will last a lifetime for both him and his little girl.
