Fans congratulated the entertainer on becoming a father in the comment section, noting how much of a “girl dad” he will become.

“Congratulations! Looks like you as a baby. You did it. God blessed you,” noted one fan.

“I love that you have an official ‘Baby Girl,'” said another fan. “Congratulations!!! What a sweet little face!!! Such a girl dad,” added another fan.

Moore shared the news on Instagram that he and Dizon were expecting with a baby gender reveal video on Jan. 6. He captioned the post, “Mama’s smiling from Heaven 🕊️ … Miracles happen … Here comes the BEST part of my life.”

The former “Criminal Minds” actor also announced he was expecting a child with Dizon during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” which will air on Jan. 26. Moore told Hudson and the audience that Frankie was expected on the third anniversary of the death of his mother.

“I’m Shemar Moore, 52½ years old. My mother is in heaven, right now it’ll be the three-year anniversary on February 8,” he said. “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.”

Moore said it was also a dream of his to have a child but had thought it was too late. “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.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
