Shemar Moore shared the moment he took his newborn daughter Frankie to visit his mother’s grave. His late mother Marilyn passed away in 2020.

The Criminal Minds star posted the visit on social media as he wrapped his hands around his girlfriend Jesiree Dizon while holding their newborn.

“Shemar, Jesiree, Frankie, and the spirit of Grandma Marilyn….. Mom’s dream was for me to become a father and give momma some grand babies… it took me a minute, but momma’s dream is now reality!!” he wrote.

The 52-year-old actor who welcomed his first child with his girlfriend Jesiree Dizon in January 2023 continued, “I accomplished much and experienced the good, the Great, the light, and the dark… but this I couldnt do on my own… Jesiree Dizon, we came back into each others lives and found love again and created a magical lil human together… I’ll call her ‘My little miracle’….. FRANKIE MOORE.”

“Jez, I love you and am so grateful… Daddy Loves Frankie… I love and miss you everyday Grandma Marilyn. RIP 2/8/20,” he concluded as he holds a glass of wine.

Moore has been excited about fatherhood after becoming a new dad at age 52 revealing that his mother would have been nothing short of proud.

In an interview with The Jennifer Hudson Show in early 2023, the actor shared, “So I’m Shemar Moore, 52½ years old my mother is in heaven right now. And on February 8th, I’m gonna make one of her dreams come true because in real life Shemar Moore is about to be a daddy.”

He continued, “I’m so excited. I’m sorry she can’t be here. I was worried for a while that it was a ‘that ship has sailed’ kind of thing, but God had my back and things lined up. It’s gonna be the best part of my — my life is pretty grand, but I know that whenever God does call my name once I get this experience, I’ll be able to go to heaven whole.”

This is the first child for Moore while the 39-year-old actress is already the mother of a son and daughter from previous relationships.
