K.J. Apa is the latest celebrity to become a real-life daddy (as in the actual father to a baby), but in addition to being a daddy, Apa is also a daddy. You get it. Apa signed on for Riverdale when he was only eighteen years old (you can see paparazzi set photos of his insane eighteen-year-old bod here), and while he was super buff at the time, he's only gotten more manly and studly over the years. We don't know if he has reached his final form or not, but we are just simply loving this rugged, bearded, buff, and beautiful K.J. Apa!

The twenty-four-year-old Kiwi no longer posts multiple shirtless shots on Instagram a week now that he's tied up with his fatherly duties, which makes his rare shirtless snaps all the sweeter. In these latest pics a very wet Apa looks longingly into the camera with his deep brown eyes and expressive lush eyebrows. Where do we even start with this picture? Apa has tan rippling muscles and flawless skin, a fantastic happy trail leading to the promised land, and nips that could move mountains.

It's also crazy just how much Apa resembles his Riverdale father Luke Perry in the second photo. The more mature Apa gets the more he looks like the beloved and very sexy later actor. You guys know that we are K.J. Apa Central, and will make sure to update you on any an all shirtless pics that Apa happens to grace us with on Instagram in the future.

Until we get more from Apa, why not check out his hottest scenes to date? You can catch a reflection of his butt on Ellen,

And can see the whole damn thing in his COVID-19 thriller Songbird.

Sure, we all love seeing Apa's soapy ass cheeks in this outdoor shower scene, but believe it or not, I'm still an Apa purist and prefer his scenes on Riverdale. This wrestling scene - complete with a surprisingly defined bulge from Apa, just can't be beat.

And who's going to say no to his iconically thirsty shirtless scenes on this teens-gone-wild CW series? Check out some of Apa's hottest scenes to date right here! Daddyhood looks good on Apa!
