He shares his spot with another unlikely dad - Larry Birkhead.
Details revealed that the two men found a place on the list because though people had expected them to 'crash and burn as fathers', they were the ones who were really involved in their kids' lives.
"Meet America's new parental role models. We all expected Kevin Federline and Larry Birkhead to crash and burn as fathers. Instead, by being more visible presences in their children's lives than many Hollywood A-listers, they emerged as unlikely candidates for Dad of Year," the publication stated.
"The New Dad, as represented by Kevin and Birkhead, is involved. He trucks the kids to the supermarket, decorates their bedrooms, and even lets them dictate the direction of his career."
K-Fed also opens up in the magazine about his life with his kids, even though he doesn't mention his ex.
"To be a father is ... everything. It shows me how little I am," he says.
And, he certainly impressed the mag's staffers at the Steven Klein photo shoot at his home in Tarzana, California.
"Here is the person who people think of as this universal joke, who has oddly emerged as father of the year. The kids would go running to him and were very warm and very well behaved," Details editor in chief Dan Peres told Us magazine.
