Shemar Moore Says He’s Open to Having More Children — But He’s Already ‘Got a Full House’
The ‘S.W.A.T.’ actor shares a daughter with model and actress Jesiree Dizon
Shemar Moore says the possibility of having more children is up in the air.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the S.W.A.T. actor, 54, opens up about potentially having more kids in the future. He is currently a dad to 1-year-old daughter Frankie with girlfriend Jesiree Dizon.
“Possibly. But I ain’t no Spring Chicken and Ms. Thing [Dizon], she’s already got two wonderful kids — her son, Kayden, who’s 17, and her little daughter Charlie, who’s 6 — and they’re sweethearts,” Moore says. “And then we got little Frankie. We got our dog, Tyson. So we got a full house.”
“I was raised an only child, so I’m all about. I’m not going to live forever,” Moore adds. “And let’s say I make it to 90, that puts Frankie at 37. So I’d rather give her 37 years of all of me, than worry twice and split that up.”
The actor, who won a Daytime Emmy in 2000 for his role as Malcolm Winters on The Young and the Restless, welcomed daughter Frankie with Dizon in January 2023.
He shared similar sentiments about welcoming more children earlier this year on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
“Right now, I’m enjoying what I got,” Moore said, after host Jennifer Hudson asked him, “[Are] there any more [babies] in the works?”
Being new to fatherhood, Moore said on the talk show that he relies on Dizon when it comes to parenting.
“Thank goodness for that because I just follow her lead in mommy-hood and fatherhood and all that,” he said. “So I’m baby-stepping, just trying to figure it all out.”
With Frankie, Moore has been quite the proud papa. The actor told PEOPLE in April that his daughter is his “little miracle,” and he always looks forward to spending time with her when not working on set.
“She’s walking!” Moore said. “She waited for me to get off of work. I get the announcement that S.W.A.T. is coming back for season 8 and 22 episodes and literally the next day, she walked 10 steps. Now she’s waddling all over the house.”
