Besides "Criminal Minds," Moore also had notable roles in "The Young and the Restless" as Malcolm Winters and in "SWAT" as Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson.

Becoming a public figure allowed Moore to have a fan base curious about his personal life, including his relationship status. Moore has been open about wanting to become a father to a woman he loves.

However, his sexuality has been a topic people questioned in the past because of his single status for long periods of time.

Is Shemar Moore Married?

Moore is not married now, and his relationship status remains a mystery. Most of his time is spent performing on television, filling up his busy schedule such that he focuses on work more than anything. He said:

"I need balance in my life. I love what I do for a living. I love it from 'action' to 'cut,' but I also want to walk my dogs, travel, get married, have kids. I want balance, and it's hard to do with the schedule that we have."

Moore isn't shy to open up about his desire to experience fatherhood and marry the woman he loves, but he hasn't met the right person yet. More so, he isn't ready to put acting aside.

What Did Shemar Moore Say about His Sexuality?

Previously, rumors about Moore's gay sexuality swirled on social media, especially after a video of him allegedly kissing a transexual surfaced on Snapchat. He has since denied all speculations during interviews.

According to the actor, he loves women and has dated many of them. He is also confident in his true identity and does not need to prove anything. Admittedly, Moore has gay fans who hug and take photos with him.

He also addressed the rumors on Instagram, writing, "He's caught up in his feels. He needs a girlfriend.. (maybe I got one.... maybe I don't.. hmmmm... not telling or showing... Is he gay? NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT!!! [sic]"

Moore then dated Halle Berry secretly, as she had just gotten divorced. Despite their short romance, Moore said their time together was an experience he needed.

Who Has Shemar Moore Dated in the Past?

Just because Moore is single today, it doesn't mean he hasn't dated publicly in the past. In the '90s, the television star famously dated Halle Berry and Toni Braxton.

Of his relationships, the one with Braxton became controversial as Shemar Moore faced backlash for opening up about their fling. The duo dated when Moore was at the onset of his career and filming "The Young and the Restless."

Their relationship began when the singer called his agent while shooting in Miami. The duo immediately hit it off, but their relationship did not last.

Moore then dated Halle Berry secretly, as she had just gotten divorced. Despite their short romance, Moore said their time together was an experience he needed.

In 2014, he was linked to Shawna Gordon, a professional athlete, who appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" while the host interviewed her boyfriend.

Three years later, he dated "Quantico" actress Anabelle Acosta, who he took to the 2018 Grammy Awards. Unfortunately, no recent updates on his love life are known.
