15 Famous Celebrity Daddies Who Had A Vasectomy

Every third Friday of November, World Vasectomy Day is celebrated to advocate for vasectomy, a form of male birth control. Vasectomy is a simple and safe procedure that limits the transfer of sperm during intercourse. Deemed very effective in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, vasectomy is becoming more and more popular among men. Even married male celebrities are vocal about having this option.

Here are 15 celebrity dads who decided to undergo vasectomy.

Jon Gosselin

After becoming a father of eight (one set of twins and one set of sextuplets), Jon Gosselin decided he had enough and he needed to have his "tube tied" in 2014. The former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star admitted the decision on "The Wendy Williams Show."

Dax Shepard

Actor Dax Shepard shared that he got a vasectomy after his wife, Kristen Bell, had a pregnancy scare. "I was like, 'We're going to turn into 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' or something. We already have no life! This is going to be not worth living.' I freaked out. It was so bad," he shared.

Brandon Blackstock

Brandon Blackstock is a father to four children, including two with ex-wife Kelly Clarkson, who admitted to pushing for Brandon's vasectomy. "I was literally pregnant with Remy, and I was like, 'You are getting fixed. This will never happen to me again,'" the singer said.

Tyler Hubbard

Florida Georgia Line musician Tyler Hubbard has three children with his wife, Hayley. After the birth of his youngest, he decided to finally undergo the procedure. "We're beyond grateful for our three babies and feel confident that we're done having children of our own," the "Cruise" singer told People.

Sir Elton John

While Sir Elton John is married to a man, the famed musician still decided to have a vasectomy. He got the procedure done after previously welcoming his two sons, Zachary and Elijah, via surrogacy. "Our family is pretty complete," the music legend shared.

Rob Delaney

After undergoing vasectomy, actor-comedian Rob Delaney decided to share his experience and inspire other men to consider getting the procedure. He wrote an essay for The Guardian, detailing the "pain and pleasure" of the experience.

"I figured after all my wife, Leah, and her body had done for our family, the least I could do was let a doctor slice into my bag and sterilize me," he said in his essay.

Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler is another football star who gave vasectomy a chance. The former NFL quarterback revealed that he had the procedure so he wouldn't have more children with Kristin Cavallari, his then-wife. The couple had three children before calling it quits in 2020.

Slim Thug

Rapper Slim Thug decided to undergo the procedure after having three sons. "#NoNewKids #NoNewBabymamas #NoMoChildSupport #NoLittleGirl just me and my 3 Boyz," he tweeted after undergoing the procedure.

Ronan Keating

Irish singer Ronan Keating is a father to five children, with his youngest being born in 2020. After the birth of his fifth child, Ronan's wife, Storm, encouraged him to "get the snip," as the singer called it. Keating did, and now they are one happy family.

Evan Bass

Like Ronan, "Bachelor in Paradise" star Evan Bass has five children, including two with his now ex-spouse Carly Waddell. After the birth of his fifth kid, Evan set up his vasectomy schedule in March 2020, which was postponed due to the COVID lockdown. In July 2021, Evan posted that he was having the procedure "for real this time."

Arie Luyendyk Jr.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. is another "Bachelor" star who decided to undergo the vasectomy surgery despite how terrified he was. His wife, Lauren, gave birth to twins in 2021 when their eldest was just a toddler. The couple decided they were not having kids anymore after that.

Steve-O

"Wildboyz" alum Steve-O also opened up about having a vasectomy. In an exclusive with Us Weekly in February 2022, he shared his experience. "I went through with the procedure and then I did a bunch of hilarious, rigorous things immediately afterward," he said, pointing out how simple and harmless the procedure was. Instead of kids, Steve-O shared that he and his fiancée Lux Wright would "just pour ourselves into helping animals."

Dr. Phil McGraw

Celebrity psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw underwent the procedure when he was 29 while his wife was pregnant with their eldest. But they figured, later on, they wanted to get pregnant again, so he decided to have his vasectomy reversed. Soon they welcomed their child Jordan, whom the TV personality called "one of the two greatest joys in our life."

Ozzy Osbourne

In 1986, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, already a father of six, decided he didn't want any more children. However, he opted to reverse the procedure after his wife wanted one more baby.

Antonio Cromartie

After the birth of his 11th child, football player Antonio Cromartie decided to finally have a vasectomy. But even after that, the athlete went on fathering three more kids. Now, he is a father to 14 children. The vas deferens may grow back after a vasectomy. Patients who have a vasectomy are recommended to follow up with their doctor a couple of months after the procedure to check for regrowth.
