Jimmy Kimmel recently shared an update about his son Billy’s health and offers a deep insight into his journey.
Talking with E! News At Keep Memory Alive’s Power of Love Gala in Las Vegas, the 57-year-old expressed gratitude for his son’s health and revealed, ”Billy is turning 8. He is doing well. He is very healthy ”
Kimmel acknowledged the support he and his family have received in these turbulent times, especially the prayers for Billy’s recovery and said that such words have deep meaning to him.
When he expressed gratitude, he added, “It’s very special when people say,” Oh, we pray for your son. “People throw these words around easily, but when you hear them about yourself, they are very meaningful,”
Billy was born with a congenital heart defect and has undergone three surgeries since birth.
Earlier in December, he shared a photo of his son at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where his son was wearing a blue training suit and had a heart -shaped pillow.
In the post, the talk show host expressed his thanks to the hospital staff for their care and invited his supporters to consider donating to the hospital or other charities that support children’s health.
The father of four has two children with his ex-wife, Gina Maddy, and two children, including Billy and 10-year-old daughter Jane, with his current wife, Molly McNearney.
