Shemar Moore shares first glimpse of daughter Frankie, calls her ‘the love of my life’ -

For the majority of his life, actor Shemar Moore has been a heartthrob. Even while he may have always appeared to be a lady’s man, the truth was far different.

The actor never imagined becoming a father, but at the age of 52, he finally fulfilled a desire he had always had in his heart.

Actor Shemar Moore finally told the public he was going to become a father for the first time a few weeks ago. When he appeared on Jennifer Hudson’s talk show, he made the announcement.

I’m Shemar Moore, and I’m 52 and a half years old,” he introduced himself to a beaming Jennifer Hudson.

The three-year anniversary will be on February 8; my mum is currently in paradise. And on February 8, I’m going to fulfill one of her fantasies since Shemar Moore is soon to become a father in real life.

On February 8, 2020, his mother Marilyn Joan Wilson-Moore passed away. She had been battling multiple sclerosis for a while.

Moore even shocked Hudson with the announcement. The host said, “That is news. And your mama gonna be so proud smiling at you from heaven.”

After making the announcement, he seemed beside himself with glee at the prospect of finally becoming a father. He said, “I was worried for a while that maybe that ship had sailed kind of thing, and, you know, God had my back and things lined up. …My life is pretty grand but I know once God does call my name, once I get this experience, I’ll be able to go to heaven whole.”

The star later posted a footage of the gender reveal celebration they held for him and his partner Jesiree Dizon on his Instagram account.

Moore was never reluctant to communicate his desire to have children. In an interview in 2017, he stated, “I want to be a family man. I want to be a father, I want to have a partner in crime, a woman to share [my life] with. I want to continue to evolve, I want to continue to take the next step in my life. In my personal life.”

And now his desire has come true. Sources confirmed that he welcomed his fiancée Jesiree Dizon and his daughter.

And of course, the proud papa was quick to post his bundle of joy’s picture on social media.

He posted a sweet shot of him holding his baby girl with the caption, “FRANKIE MOORE!!!! BABY GIRL in da building!!!” he captioned the pic. “Born January 24… at 3:38pm…. 7.1 Pounds… 20 inches…. 10 fingers n 10 toes… Already THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!”

He continued, “I’m a Girl Daddy!!!! HOLY S**T!!! DREAMS COME TRUE!!” Moore continued. “Grandma Marilyn is in heaven puff puff passing, drinking her wine, and doing her happy dance… I LOVE and MISS YOU everyday Mom.”
