Shemar Moore Teases Fans With Sexy Shirtless Photo: “I’m Being Thirsty On Purpose!”

Late last night (March 3), Shemar Moore decided to turn up the heat on social media with a smoldering snapshot of himself wearing nothing but sweatpants, slippers, a bucket hat and sunglasses — oh, and his chiseled physique.

But it wasn’t just the thirst trap that had followers going crazy in his comment section, it was his cryptic, yet tantalizing caption that sent them into overdrive.

“I’m HERE for the comments… I’m being THIRSTY on purpose!!!” Moore teased, fully aware of the inevitable drooling and responses coming his way. He then shared the introspective question: “I wanna know what y’all think when FRANKIE FINDS OUT and FIGURES OUT… Who her Daddy is???!!! Because… unapologetically…. I’M him!!”

Fans wasted no time diving into the comments to decipher whether Moore was hinting at a major S.W.A.T. plot twist (hence his use of the director’s cut emoji), or referencing his real-life journey as a first-time father to baby Frankie, or both. The actor welcomed his first child, a daughter named Frankie, in early 2023 with then-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon.

While some followers were left thirsting over Moore’s ageless appeal, others sent him many praises on his fatherhood. “Frankie is gonna be so proud of who her daddy is and especially to be your daughter!!!” one user wrote. “You are an amazing and fine lookin human being and I will forever have a crush on you! Hope to have an opportunity to meet you one day!!!”

Another fan commented, “Frankie will say I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have you as my daddy. She will love you as much as you love her. I pray you both live a long healthy happy life together. You are an awesome daddy for sure.”

On the other hand, some users were just straight up thirsty right along with Moore. “Good lord what fine a** man,” a third person remarked as a fourth wrote, “Did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine?! Because you’re looking like a snack.”

Shemar Moore, who currently stars in the eighth season of the hit show S.W.A.T, revealed earlier this year that he and Dizon broke up after five years of dating, according to PEOPLE.

The couple were initially linked to one another in 2008 before the 54-year-old eventually reconnected with Dizon in 2020. Three years later, they now have their first child together, Frankie, 2. Dizon also has a son, 18-year-old Kaiden, and daughter Charlie, 6, from previous relationships.
