Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is a proud dad to four kids. Although much of the world knows more about his two youngest children with his wife, Molly McNearney, whom he married in 2013, Kimmel also has two grown children from his first marriage to Gina Maddy-Kimmel.
The comedian loves kids, as evidenced by many segments from his show – from his famous Halloween candy pranks to having Billie Eilish ask kids where they go when they sleep. Not to mention, he’s also a children’s book author. For his latest kids stunt, Kimmel surprised his two youngest kiddos with an epic sing-along with Olivia Rodrigo on their way to school. The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host pulled it off by picking up the “Vampire” singer as a hitchhiker. “Oh my god, Billy, it’s Olivia Rodrigo,” Kimmel’s daughter Jane says in the Oct. 24 video segment.
Whether it’s pulling pranks or being honest about fatherhood, Kimmel lights up when it comes to sharing his personal experiences as a dad of four. “I’m more patient, I’m more confident,” he told People in 2020 of parenting his two youngest, who are more than 20 years younger than his oldest kids. “I didn’t make any money when I was in radio and I got fired a lot. It’s stressful enough to get fired and have to move to another town, but when you have little kids, it’s even more stressful. So it’s easier this time around, and I’m glad because I’m busy.”
