AceShowbiz - Shemar Moore is a dad for the first time. The "S.W.A.T." actor and his girlfriend Jesiree Dizon have welcomed a baby girl into the world.
A representative for the 52-year-old actor told PEOPLE magazine, "Shemar Moore and his partner, Jesiree Dizon, are happy to announce the birth of their baby girl. The family is very happy and healthy."
Jesiree, who has been dating the "Criminal Minds" alum since 2017, already has five-year-old daughter Charli with actor Stephen Bishop, and a son Kaiden, 16, from a previous relationship.
Earlier this month, Shemar confirmed he was going to be a dad for the first time, and he admitted his late mother, who died from a heart condition at the age of 76 in 2020, would have been thrilled with the news.
He said, "I'm Shemar Moore, 52 and a half years old. My mother is in heaven, right now it'll be the three-year anniversary on February 8. And on February 8, I'm going to make one of her dreams come true because, in real life, Shemar Moore is about to be a daddy. I'm sorry she can't be here."
He went on to explain that fatherhood will be the "best" part of his life and he had "worried" for a long time that it would never happen.
Speaking in a teaser clip from an episode of "The Jennifer Hudson Show", he said, "I'm sorry she can't be here. I was worried for a while that it was a 'that ship has sailed. It's going to be the best part of my life is already pretty grand, but I know whenever God does call my name, once I get this experience, I'll be able to go to heaven whole."
