Gary Barlow has been spending quality time with his son, Daniel. Heading to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, the singer treated the 24-year-old to a football match, with the duo sitting down to watch Chelsea take on Brentford.

The music star tends to keep his family away from the spotlight - so the Father's Day photos were a special surprise for fans.
Gary and Dawn – who married in 2000 – rarely shed light on their family life but in a recent interview, the doting father spoke openly about his children's futures. "The two oldest ones have kind of gone into medicine and physiology - studying strength and conditioning," he told The Mirror.

As the oldest of his three children, Daniel has appeared most frequently, albeit very rarely, on Gary's Instagram page, and it's clear that he has a passion for health and fitness. In a previous post, the 53-year-old called his son his "training partner" as they headed to a yoga class. They've also teamed up for weight-training sessions.
When they're not working out at home, the duo have bonded through their shared love of football, heading to various matches together.

He finished by adding: "Congratulations #ironman." The infamous challenge involves a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run, where participants have a maximum of 17 hours to complete the race, as well as specific cut-off times for each part of the event.

Reflecting on Dawn, Gary gushed: "She's really special, really special. She's a no-nonsense mum. She brought our kids up, I didn't. I do this job which is bloody all-encompassing, I travel all around the world, she gave up her job to bring our kids up. "Left her dreams to one side and I got to do mine still.
