A family of two dads is making waves with their recent appearance in an Old Navy holiday commercial. Featuring real-life couple Jamie and Ryan alongside their adorable three-year-old twins, Max and Mia, this ad aims to showcase diverse family structures and promote acceptance. Ryan, one half of the duo, expressed his hope that their family’s visibility in the ad will help others recognize that families come in many forms.
In the charming advertisement, the family is seen donning festive onesies while sharing how they blend various holiday traditions to create their own unique celebration. “Santa always visits us on Christmas Day; that’s a must!” they joke, highlighting the joy of creating their own customs.
Ryan took to Instagram to share his thoughts: “The concept of family today is much broader than it used to be. Traditionally, people might think of a family as a mother, father, and children living together—but our family includes two fathers, a son, and a daughter.” He emphasized that by exposing viewers to families that may differ from their own, they can foster acceptance and understanding. “As we gear up for the holidays, we’re embracing the uniqueness of every family,” he added.
Surprisingly, all the feedback on the Old Navy ads featuring this family has been overwhelmingly positive, with no negative comments in sight.
Old Navy has long been a supporter of the LGBTQ community, launching their first Pride collection back in 2011 and continuing to offer inclusive apparel year-round. This year, they even released purple shirts for Independence Day, symbolizing unity across political divides. The holiday-themed ad aligns perfectly with their mission of love and inclusion.
