Jamie Dornan found his purpose when he became a father.

“It’s the thing I live for,” Dornan exclusively told We in October 2018. “It’s the best aspect of our lives.”

The actor, Jamie Dornan, and his wife, Amelia Warner, tied the knot in April 2013. They welcomed their first daughter, Dulcie, in the same year. Their daughters Elva and Alberta were born in 2016 and 2019, respectively.

During a 2018 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dornan joked about Warner's third pregnancy, saying, "Part of me feels like [I need] to put a cork in it after this. But then alternatively, I feel like we make really great kids. I may just - if my wife's willing - do it until we can't do it anymore."

Dornan initially hesitated about portraying a dad on screen, despite his love for his real family.

He shared with W magazine, "When I first read the script for Belfast, I had a moment of doubt. I thought, 'I'm still young - I don't feel ready to play a father.' However, I do have a wife and three daughters in real life. Even though my on-screen kids are older than my actual children, I realized I was portraying a version of Sir Kenneth Branagh's dad, which made me feel more at ease. Growing up in Belfast, I wanted to do justice to the city and its people."

Dornan gave Warner and their daughters a sweet shout-out on International Women’s Day.

He expressed his desire to become a trustworthy figure for Dulcie, Elva, and Alberta. They are perceived as creative, cool, and talented individuals who excel in performing. He affectionately referred to them as "perfect little nepo babies."

During an appearance on the Today show, the Golden Globe nominee shared that he feels like being a "boy dad" might not be his thing after raising his girls.

"It's the best. I can't imagine it any other way," Dornan mentioned to Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. "With three girls, I don't know how I would handle being a dad to boys. I have a lot of energy and can be quite hyper at times, so I don't think I could keep up with three energetic boys in the house."

Dornan’s kids have become prone to getting embarrassed by his presence.

"I'm at that stage where my kids are just starting to feel embarrassed. So, I like to tease them a bit and make them blush even more," he joked on Late Night With Seth Meyers. "We'll figure it out. Our oldest is going through a phase where she slams doors like a world champion. We haven't tried this yet, but we have someone coming next week to put softeners around the door frame. I'm thinking of setting up a camera to capture her first attempt at a door slam."

Amelia Warner shared on Instagram that Dornan is still making efforts to impress his daughters. He mentioned to host Seth Meyers that he even contacted producers to inquire about a voiceover role in the animated movie Trolls World Tour released in 2020.

"I know it might have seemed impulsive, but our children were absolutely hooked on the first Trolls movie. They would listen to Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick's songs non-stop in the car, driving us to the brink of insanity," he shared. "Since Universal was behind both movies, including Fifty Shades which we worked on, I told them, 'I'm willing to do anything. Just let me have a small role in the next Trolls movie. I'll even just walk on and sneeze, it doesn't matter to me.'"
