Who is Shemar Moore’s daughter Frankie?
Shemar Moore and former partner Jesiree Dizon welcomed Frankie Melelina Kapule Moore in January 2023. The actor, born April 20, 1970, has repeatedly called her his “little miracle.”
Introducing then-three-month-old Frankie on The Talk, Moore said his life had changed after many highs and tough stretches. “Now I have the biggest miracle in my life,” he told viewers.
He also tied fatherhood to his late mother, Marilyn Moore, who died in 2020. A month after Frankie’s birth, he wrote that her dream of grandbabies had become reality and credited Dizon for creating “a magical lil human” together.
What do the 17 sweet Shemar Moore photos show?
According to a Yahoo Entertainment gallery drawn from People, the snaps span Frankie’s newborn days through toddler milestones. Moments include Moore’s first Father’s Day in June 2023, Halloween costumes, birthday cake sharing, peek-a-boo, holiday goofiness, and ringside bonding at an L.A. Sparks vs. Dallas Wings game in 2025.
Captions capture the vibe: “Frankie kinda killing the GAME!” in September 2024, “Best Birthday Ever!!!!! … Daddy n Frankie!!!” on his birthday, and simply “MY BABYGIRL!!!!” on a golden-hour shot. Another post declares, “DREAMS COME TRUE!!!!”
Moore and Dizon split in 2025. Dizon later wrote on Instagram that their reality had changed, but “what will ALWAYS remain is the love and respect Shemar and i both have for each other.”
How does fatherhood tie into S.W.A.T. Exiles?
Moore continues as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson in S.W.A.T. Exiles on Starz. Per People, the spinoff is “darker” and “grittier,” picking up after a two-year jump with Hondo divorced, grieving his mother, and sidelined after a mission gone wrong.
Hondo finds purpose in being the best version of himself for his daughter, Moore told People—stakes that make him reluctant to “lose his life for the sake of his daughter.” He also said it was “hard to say goodbye” to the original CBS cast after eight seasons (2017–2025).
The series premiered Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET on Starz, with Season 1 Episode 1 titled “Clean Entry.” For more premiere and streaming alerts, browse Streaming & TV Alerts on BlasterPost.
Moore teased that Season 2 is “coming real soon,” while joking that at 56 he still trains to “move and look like I’m 30”—and that he “ain’t quitting” until Father Time says otherwise.
