Shemar Moore is going to be a father — and he’s exclusively announcing the happy news on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
The actor appears on the January 26 episode of the show.
Aside from chatting about his role on the CBS show “S.W.A.T.,” the star opens up about taking on his most “exciting” role yet — fatherhood!
“I’m 52 and a half years old. My mother is in heaven right now. It’ll be the three-year anniversary on February 8,” he begins. “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!”

Shemar's mother Marilyn Joan Wilson-Moore passed away in 2020 at the age of 76. At the time Shemar shared that she suffered from heart issues after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999.
“Your mama is gonna be so proud, smiling at you from heaven,” Jennifer says in her interview with Shemar.
“I’m so excited. I’m sorry she can’t be here,” he adds.

In a video shared on social media Monday, Shemar and his partner Jesiree Dizon revealed they're expecting a little girl.
In the forthcoming episode Shemar also shares that he thought he might not get the opportunity to experience parenthood, and opens up about how his faith plays a part.
“I was worried for a while. ‘Maybe that ship had sailed’ kind of thing,” Shemar explains. “God had my back. Things lined up. My life is pretty grand, but I know whenever God does call my name, once I get this experience, I’m gonna go to heaven whole.”
