“Today is a special day. This is a legendary day. Today, your boy Shemar Motherf-king Moore…is going to find out if he’s going to be a daddy to a little girl or a little boy,” he said in an Instagram video, continuing that while he wished his late mother was alive to see him become a father, she’s still “a part of all of this.” Dizon chimed in, “I honestly just want whatever is healthy, happy like [Moore] says 10 fingers, 10 toes. I’m just so excited for this portion of our life together, and it’s going to be amazing.”
