Jimmy Kimmel’s son has a reason to smile big.
On April 21, as Billy Kimmel turned 8 years old, the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” shared an annual update about his and Molly McNearney’s youngest child, while also expressing gratitude towards the medical professionals who have been instrumental in supporting his family through Billy’s health challenges.
Today marks Billy’s 8th birthday, Jimmy wrote, accompanied by a photo of Billy happily enjoying an ice cream sundae. “Billy is in excellent health and strength, largely due to the dedicated efforts of doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” he added. “We also extend our gratitude to those who have offered prayers, kind wishes, and donations over the years.
He went on to say, “Could you kindly donate $8 towards children in need of medical assistance? The link for contribution is provided in my profile. Many thanks!
As an overjoyed father and devoted fan, I, Jimmy Kimmel, proudly share my life with remarkable women like Molly, Katie, and ex-wife Gina Maddy, and together we’ve brought forth beautiful souls – Jane Kimmel, 10, Kevin Kimmel, 31, and Katie Kimmel, 33. When it comes to my son Billy, born in 2017, I’ve been vocal about his health journey from the very beginning. In fact, just weeks after his birth, I tearfully recounted the harrowing experience of Billy undergoing emergency heart surgery mere minutes after entering our world.
A while ago, Billy faced a second open-heart operation. But in the most recent news about him, it’s been a full year since the comedian shared that Billy had his third (and supposedly last) open-heart procedure to install a valve in his heart.
Over the weekend, Jimmy posted on Instagram that our son Billy underwent his third (and hopefully final) open-heart surgery. He said they entered the situation with a mix of optimism and a great deal of fear but emerged with a brand new heart valve in a joyful, thriving child.
As he moved through the hospital halls, he encountered parents at their most fragile moments, children experiencing distress, and remarkable individuals tirelessly working to heal them. This journey was profoundly humbling for him.
The late-night show’s presenter has just shared some news regarding Billy, mentioning that fan support has been a significant part of their recovery process as a family.
In February, Jimmy shared with TopMob News that Billy would soon celebrate his eighth birthday. Jimmy reported that Billy is thriving and in excellent health.
He added, “It means a lot when people express, ‘We’re praying for your child,’ because although these phrases are often used casually, when they’re said about you, they carry significant weight.
