Criminal Minds star Shemar Moore had an emotional day as he and girlfriend Jesiree Dizon took their newborn daughter to the grave of his beloved mum.
Moore took his weeks-old daughter Frankie to the grave of his mum Marilyn, who died in February 2020 at the age of 76.
He posted a picture of the emotional family outing to Instagram, showing him he sat by his mum's grave in the cemetery.
In the picture, he cradled little Frankie with his other arm around Dizon while holding a glass of wine.

Captioning the snap, Moore wrote: "Shemar, Jesiree, Frankie, and the spirit of Grandma Marilyn…. Mom’s dream was for me to become a father and give momma some grand babies… it took me a minute, but momma’s dream is now reality!!
"I accomplished much and experienced the good, the Great, the light, and the dark… but this I couldn't do on my own…
"Jesiree Dizon, we came back into each others lives and found love again and created a magical lil human together… I’ll call her ‘My little miracle’….. FRANKIE MOORE."

Last month, a rep for Moore confirmed to People Magazine that the Criminal Minds star and Dizon had welcomed their baby girl.
The rep said: "Shemar Moore and his partner, Jesiree Dizon, are happy to announce the birth of their baby girl. The family is very happy and healthy."

Reposting the People article on Instagram, Moore confirmed the news himself.
"Ya boy is officially a Dad!!! Dreams come true!! The rest of my life is here!" he said.
In fact, it was only made public knowledge that the couple were expecting a baby at the turn of the year, with Moore admitting he thought his ‘ship might have sailed’ on ever becoming a parent.
