Shemar Moore recently enjoyed the sweetest daddy–daughter day on the set of his upcoming series S.W.A.T. Exiles.
The S.W.A.T. star shared a heartwarming behind-the-scenes video on Instagram showing his 2-year-old daughter, Frankie, visiting him on set for the very first time. The spinoff, inspired by CBS’s hit police drama, gave fans a glimpse of Moore balancing his action-star persona with his favorite role yet — being a dad.
In the montage, Moore can be seen greeting his ex-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon, with whom he shares Frankie, before scooping up his daughter from the car.
“Daddy – Daughter day!! Frankie’s first set visit to @swat.headquarters and she came ready to put in work,” the 55-year-old captioned the post, which featured “Small Hands” by Raiche and Teddy Swims playing in the background.
The proud #girldad, dressed in a S.W.A.T. T-shirt, doted on his little girl as she joined him in the makeup room, where she adorably brushed his face and beard before heading to the boxing ring.
Frankie showed off her playful side, slipping on one boxing glove and pretending to spar with Moore’s crew members, who dramatically “fell” with each of her swings. The toddler even squared up against her dad, bouncing happily in the ring while Moore laughed along.
The sweet clip also featured Dizon’s older daughter, Charli, whom she welcomed with actor Stephen Bishop in 2017, joining in on the set-day fun.
Moore couldn’t help but reflect on what his daughter means to him.
“[Frankie] is the reason I’m so damn happy,” he previously told Jennifer Hudson on her daytime talk show. “That’s my little baby girl. That’s my miracle. That’s little Frankie.”
“That girl truly has given me purpose,” added the actor, who split from Dizon in January after nearly five years together. “She saved my life.”
During the same interview, the actor opened up about the emotional turning point that fatherhood brought after the death of his mother, Marylin Joan Wilson-Moore, in 2020.
“My mama was my everything,” he said. “I lived my whole life to make her proud and when she left, I was lost. I was in a place of so what, like what does it all mean and why am I doing this,” Shemar continued. “And, then little Frankie came along and that’s what it’s all about right there.”
