The Crush: Brad Kroenig

Crush is at that stage of life when it is evaluating every human male over the age of 21 for procreation potential. So far our baby-daddy wishlist has begun and ended with David Beckham but now, thanks to The New York Times, another extremely eligible package of X-Y chromosomes has got us reaching for the folic acid.

Step forward Brad Kroenig, Karl Lagerfeld’s muse since 2003 and hot dad to Hudson, also a Chanel catwalk veteran despite being just six years old. Brad is a chunk of all-American manliness, with the perfect chiselled-jaw-to-stubble ratio and wavy golden hair that’s crying out for a good ruffling. Accessorise him with a very cute small child and Crush’s heart melts.

Brad has devoted his life to the Kaiser and anointed him godfather of Hudson (he has another toddler, Jameson, whose middle name is Karl); his face is so precious he won’t even play softball with his kids. He is flown by private jet to walk in fashion shows around the world, while Hudson is lavished with gifts.

Being one of ‘Karl’s boys’ is a strange, fabulous existence, but Crush would make an excellent plus-one if, say, Brad’s wife Nicole ever feels that enough is enough. Sure, we might have to share our new man with a silver-ponytailed octogenarian but it’s a small price to pay for Brad’s wholesome, stonewashed genes.
