He and his partner Jesiree Dizon are having a baby girl and she is due on February 8th, which is also the anniversary of the passing of the actor’s mother.

“Your boy got butterflies,” Moore said. “This is a special day. This is a legendary day.”
Moore also said on Instagram, “Mama’s smiling from Heaven … Miracles happen … Here comes the BEST part of my life.” Moore has long used the catchphrase “baby girl,” including for a clothing line, so it wasn’t lost on commenters that he’s finally having one.
Back in 2016, the daytime television alum told TV Line in an interview, “”I need balance in my life. I love what I do for a living, I love it from ‘action’ to ‘cut,’ but I also want to walk my dogs, travel, get married, have kids. I want balance, and it’s hard to do with the schedule that we have.”
