The "S.W.A.T." actor has never been married and hasn't announced a very long or involved relationship. Moore said it was all because he is a workaholic who adores his career. “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, and have kids. I want balance, and it’s hard to do with the schedule that we have,” explained the actor.
However, he admits that maintaining this lifestyle isn't in his plans forever and his heart desires more, saying: “I want to be a family man.
