Whew! Roomies, Shemar Moore has social media riled UP after he recently revealed why he has no plans to marry his girlfriend and the mother of his only child, Jesiree Dizon.
Shemar Moore Gets Candid About Not Wanting Marriage
On Thursday, November 14, PEOPLE published an exclusive interview with Moore where he candidly shared his thoughts on marriage. Moore explained that he views Dizon as his “partner in crime.” However, he’s “never seen marriage as part of his plan.”
“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?'” he explained. “I asked my mother one time. I’m like, ‘If people get married, then what’s this prenup thing? Oh, I love you. You’re the most amazing person in the world but sign this. So you don’t trust the person?'”
Moore explained that he knows “tomorrow’s not guaranteed.” However, he plans on giving Dizon “everything [he’s] got today and tomorrow.”
“She is my partner. She is the mother of Frankie. Frankie has a dope-ass mama, and I’m going to try to be a dope-ass daddy,” Moore added before seemingly reiterating his preference to stay marriage-less. “And we going to do that until God calls my name.”
Until then, Moore explained that his main priority is to keep Dizon, their daughter, Frankie, and Dizon’s two children from previous relationships “safe.”
“I want to give her the best life. Not just material stuff. Just keep her safe. Keep them all safe. Kaiden, Charli, Frankie, Desiree. Kaiden has his daddy. I respect him. Charli has her daddy. I respect him. I don’t step on those toes, but I keep them safe. I mentor them as I can,” Moore said. “I try my hardest to make them believe in themselves and watch them fly.”
