Shemar Moore has shared a touching photo of the moment he took his newborn daughter, Frankie, to visit his late mom's grave.

The S.W.A.T actor posted the emotional photo on Instagram, which saw him, his girlfriend Jesiree Dizon, and their two-week-old daughter posing by a plaque on a lawn, which read: "This house is my son's home. Mom. 1-26-20," although it's not clear if his mom is buried on the grounds of Shemar's $5.8 million home.

He concluded: "Jez, I love you and am so grateful… Daddy Loves Frankie… I love and miss you everyday Grandma Marilyn. RIP 2/8/20."

Admitting he thought he would never become a father, the former Criminal Minds star added: "I'm so excited. I'm sorry she can't be here. I was worried for a while that it was a 'that ship has sailed' kind of thing but God had my back, and things lined up."
