According to TMZ, the couple allegedly dated in 2008 but then drifted apart. In 2020, after Shemar's mother passed away, they both reconnected.

The couple officially announced their relationship in January 2023 when they held a gender reveal party to announce they were expecting a baby. That same month, their daughter Frankie was born.

In an interview with People in November 2024, Moore shared that although he loved Dizon and their daughter, he had no plans of getting married. He shared how he struggled to see how people ask their partners to sign a prenup before getting married, wondering if that meant they don't trust their partners in the first place. He said,

"I didn't have a good role model of marriage in my life. Not my mother, not my father. Nobody close to me. I struggle with ‘Who made that rule?’ I asked my mother one time. I'm like, ‘If people get married, then what's this prenup thing?"

Shemar Moore also shared in the same interview that he felt like his hands were full as he also tried to be a good role model for Dizon's kids from her previous relationships, Charli and Kaiden. He shared that he respected the kids' fathers, and while he never intervened in their bond, he still tried to present to the kids.

Moore revealed his biggest regret at the time was not having a kid before his mother, Marylin, died in 2020, suffering from multiple sclerosis and a heart condition. He said his mother wanted to be a grandma before passing away.

"My mother's dream and I still feel guilty about it, was to be a grandma."

On January 24, 2025, Shemar Moore appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and talked about his daughter. He thanked God and his mother, believing they ensured he was not left alone, and blessed him with his daughter and Jesiree. He said,

"Y'all know that Mama's up in heaven, and her dream was to see this happen. She wanted to be a grandma, and Mama made sure I wasn't alone. And I can't prove it, but I think between God and my Mama, they made sure that I wasn't alone."
