Lamorne’s journey as a father began on September 14, 2020, with the birth of Lily. Since then, the New Girl actor has delighted in sharing moments of their life together with his fans. From bringing Lily to work to capturing their playful interactions on social media, it’s clear that she’s a central part of his world.
When asked about the values he hopes to instill in Lily, Lamorne’s response was both poignant and heartfelt. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a "sense of play" throughout life. “To have fun!” he said, reflecting on the lessons he hopes Lily will carry with her as she grows. “A lot of times kids, when they’re quote-unquote misbehaving or being silly, we try to course correct. I think it’s really important to allow kids to be kids, to keep that innocence, and to allow them to grow up and remember to never lose that sense of play and your imagination.”

Lamorne also spoke about the balance between work and fun, noting that as adults, it’s easy to get bogged down by responsibilities. “We tend to get bogged down by the work and by different jobs and different gigs, and we kind of lose the fun of it all,” he shared. “Things are supposed to be fun! We’re supposed to be enjoying each other’s company, even at work. So I want her to never lose that element of play.”
The bond between Lamorne and Lily is evident in their everyday interactions. During a recent appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna, Lamorne described how Lily’s playful nature has even turned his Emmy excitement into a fun moment. “She kinda has me wrapped around her finger,” he admitted with a laugh. “I try to be like ‘No, this is not how this is going down,’ but it always goes down the way she wants it to go down.”
In addition to sharing these candid moments, Lamorne discussed how he wants Lily to understand and express emotions openly. He explained, “I think it’s beneficial for young kids to understand the differences between the two, and that it’s OK to cry, whether you’re sad or happy.” The actor hopes Lily will learn that it’s perfectly normal to experience a range of emotions, whether it’s joy or sorrow.
As Lamorne Morris continues to navigate his career and personal life, his dedication to his daughter shines through. His wish for Lily to always retain her playful spirit is a testament to his love and commitment as a father, making it clear that despite the accolades and accomplishments, his greatest joy comes from the little moments shared with his daughter.
