In 2017 the actor shared his hope that one day he would find his match and more, per Entertainment Tonight. He said, "I want to be a family man. I want to be a father, I want to have a partner in crime, a woman to share [my life] with. I want to continue to evolve, I want to continue to take the next step in my life. In my personal life." Moore was hopeful that the future would hold all these things, and his hope did not go unnoticed.

On February 8, I'm gonna make one of her dreams come true because in real life, Shemar Moore is about to be a daddy." Moore said he was "worried" that the ship might have sailed for him, but time and faith ultimately blessed the 52-year-old.

The actor also shared a video of the baby's gender reveal on his Instagram. Moore shared that despite his mother's passing, he knew she was beside him and his soon-to-be family. Dizon shared, "I am excited. I'm anxious." Dizon, who already has two kids, revealed in the video that she wanted a girl. She said, "I honestly just want whatever is healthy and happy...I'm just so excited for this portion of our life together."
