Adrien is the son Gabriel has with his wife, Emilie. With them having trouble to conceive, Adrien felt like a blessing and Gabriel made a deal with his brother-in-law, so he can obtain a bodyguard to protect his child before Adrien was born. After Emilie "disappeared" Gabriel becomes overprotective of Adrien, having him be home schooled and keeping his son within the safety of their home. With Gabriel keeping himself within his work rather than making time for his own son, Adrien becomes a model in attempts to spend time with him. Gabriel had struggled with being a single parent, managing his Fashion empire and looking for ways to bring back his wife, luckily Nathalie Sancoeur was there to help him and Adrien during that hard year.
When Gabriel decided to use the Butterfly Miraculous for evil, in attempts to lure out the champions of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses, he kept Adrien in the dark. Unaware that his own son would have been chosen to wield the Cat Miraculous, during one of his seek out attempts to attend a real school. Adrien had grown tried of home school life and wanted a bit more freedom, his second life as Cat Noir allows him to express the sides of himself that his father wouldn't have approved. Because Adrien doesn't know that Hawkmoth is his own father, he views the butterfly-themed villain as a monster that needs to be stopped. After seeing the terrible things Hawkmoth has his victims do and witnessed the darker side of his cruelty more than once.

Due to the way Gabriel treats Adrien with his cold, overprotective demeanor, while Adrien is shown to care for his father no matter how sad he makes him, it has led to people having mixed feelings for this familyship. Specially when Gabriel takes advantage of his son's love and loyalty for him in the two erased timelines, that have Gabriel akumatize him both times. Despite the moments where Gabriel has been shown to deeply care for his son.
One of the things that people loved about Jeremy Zag's Miraculous film is that it had Gabriel's love for his son redeem him, while the alternate timelines shown in Thomas Astruc's Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir series didn't have Gabriel reform when he found out that Adrien is Cat Noir. Thinking more about himself than his own son, despite his claim of making their family whole by bringing back his wife.
Long before season two revealed Gabriel to be Hawk Moth, people had suspected that Adrien's father was him all along. Just as they weren't too surprised when it was hinted that Adrien could in fact be a human sentibeing, with how controlling Gabriel was with him and the fact that Adrien was never able to say "no" his father. Each time Gabriel secretly touches the ring on his finger. Even though Adrien never found out that his father was Hawk Moth, fans were pleased that "Representation" had Adrien (as Cat Noir) express the negative things he thinks about his cruel father. Since many were hoping for an episode that would have Adrien stand up to his father and say similar words to him.
Before the "Senitbeing Adrien" theory was officially confirmed, the theory itself has got a few people to parallel Gabriel and Adrien with Belos and Hunter from The Owl House. Or at least give the two a similar story in an Owl House AU. By having Adrien (and Félix) as a Grimwalker who was created by Gabriel. The nature of their father-son relationship has also got people to compare or cast them as other parent and child-like duos, who have a similar energy to them. Like Gothel and Rapunzel of Tangled, and even Trident and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Whenever people focus on Gabriel's caring, overprotective side rather than his villain one.
After the Miraculous Paris special showcased a kinder version of Gabriel from another universe, it got ML fans to think that he is the father that Adrian deserves. As well as wondering what the bond between Hero!Gabriel and his Adrien is like. Even though a scene from Butterfly's opening subjects that the two drifted apart after the death of their Emily, fans are hoping that Claw Noir's reform would have him patch things up with his father.
