Reflecting on Fatherhood at 54
Shemar’s reflections on fatherhood are heartfelt and deeply personal. “I was raised an only child,” he shared. At 54, honestly, I don’t want to worry twice. God willing, I make it to 90, but that’s 37 years old for [Frankie]. It was a full life for me, but maybe gone too soon for her.”
The actor emphasized his desire to focus entirely on his daughter. “Whatever time I have left, God willing, I just want to give it all to my baby girl,” he said.
