There’s nothing quite like watching someone you admire step into a whole new chapter of life. Shemar Moore, the beloved star of S.W.A.T., has officially joined the ranks of proud dads everywhere. In January 2023, he and his girlfriend, Jesiree Dizon, welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Frankie. It’s been nothing short of heartwarming to see how much joy this little bundle of happiness has brought into Shemar’s world.

Frankie’s Arrival: A Dream Come True for Shemar Moore

Shemar didn’t waste any time sharing the incredible news with his fans. Just hours after Frankie was born, he took to Instagram to announce her arrival. "Ya boy is officially a Dad!!! Dreams come true!! The rest of my life is here!" he wrote, capturing the pure excitement and love that comes with becoming a father. For Shemar, it wasn’t just about starting a new chapter; it was about fulfilling a lifelong dream.

While Frankie was born two weeks early, Shemar had already attached deep meaning to her original due date. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show before Frankie’s birth, he opened up about the significance of February 8th. "I’m Shemar Moore, 52½ years old. My mother is in heaven, and February 8th will mark the three-year anniversary of her passing," he shared emotionally. "On that day, I’ll make one of her dreams come true because, in real life, Shemar Moore is about to be a daddy." It was a touching moment that showcased how much his mom meant to him and how her memory continues to inspire his journey as a father.

Shemar went on to express his bittersweet feelings about his mom not being there to witness this milestone. "I’m so excited, but I’m sorry she can’t be here," he admitted. "For a while, I worried that the chance to become a dad had passed me by, but God had my back, and everything fell perfectly into place."

Documenting Frankie’s Milestones on Social Media

Since Frankie’s birth, Shemar has been nothing short of adorable in the way he shares her milestones with the world. Whether it’s her first "da da" or other precious moments, he’s been using social media to celebrate every step of their journey together. When Frankie was just three months old, she even made her television debut alongside her proud parents on The Talk. During the show, Shemar spoke about his approach to parenting. "I honestly just follow her lead. She’s so warm, loving, and completely present," he said. "She’s teaching me what it means to truly live in the moment."

How Shemar and Jesiree Found Their Way Back to Each Other

During that same appearance on The Talk, Shemar gave fans a glimpse into how he and Jesiree rekindled their relationship. "We actually dated 15 years ago, and it was amazing," he revealed. "But back then, I wasn’t ready for the whole settling-down-and-starting-a-family thing. Honestly, I got a little scared." Life had other plans, though. After the passing of his mom in 2020, Jesiree re-entered his life. "Then God worked his magic," Shemar said. "I think Mom’s karma brought us back full circle. And here we are, creating a beautiful family together."

Jesiree already has two wonderful children from previous relationships—Kayden, who’s 17, and Charli, who’s 6. Together, they’ve built a blended family that’s full of love and laughter.

When asked if he’d consider having more kids in the future, Shemar gave a thoughtful response. "Possibly. But let’s be real—I’m no spring chicken anymore," he joked during an interview with People in June 2024. "Jesiree, who I lovingly call Ms. Thing, already has two amazing kids—Kayden, who’s 17, and Charli, who’s 6. Add Frankie and our dog, Tyson, to the mix, and we’ve got ourselves quite the full house!"

Despite the busy household, Shemar is soaking up every second of fatherhood. "Frankie’s given me a whole new lease on life," he told Good Housekeeping in March 2024. "She’s now my purpose. Everything feels brighter, more exciting. I’m not doing things just for me anymore—it’s all about making Frankie proud." He went on to reflect on his late mother, Marilyn. "For most of my life, I worked hard to make my mom proud," he said. "Now, I want to do that for Frankie. Because I won’t be around forever, so while I’m here, I’m going to give her everything I’ve got, just like my mom did for me."
