[P]At the same time, high-profile custody disputes (Kim Zolciak v. Kroy Biermann: The Blast) and celebrity co‑parenting headlines show how media glare complicates family conflict, while studies linking fathers’ health to kids’ obesity risk and fatherhood to longer lifespans for some groups broaden the conversation about what parenting truly costs and gives.
