The "Twilight" actress took in the Knicks-Miami Heat game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday with her hot pop Steven, who made a splash on gossip blogs and social media with his leading man looks.
The sandy-haired electronic salesman, 47, looked sporty in a slim navy sweater and Knicks ball cap, leaving some to wonder whether Dakota was hanging with Robert Redford's studly younger brother.
"Dakota Fanning's Dad Is Our Man Crush Monday," a Huffington Post headline read.
Gawker also took notice and declared, "Dakota Fanning has a Hot Dad."
The former minor league baseball player's good looks shouldn't come as a shock: both Dakota, 20, and her sister Elle, 16, are A-list young actresses and perennial magazine cover girls.
He's also tried his hand at acting, having appeared on one episode of the TV show "Judging Amy" in 1999, according to IMDB.
