Back in May, Jimmy was reduced to tears in the opening monologue of his show Jimmy Kimmel Live, as he told viewers about his son undergoing heart surgery.
Jimmy explained that Molly had given birth to their son on Friday, April 21. However, just hours after his son’s birth, doctors noticed he was born with a heart disease/
“On Monday morning, Dr. Vaughn Starnes opened his chest and fixed one of the two defects in his heart. He went in there with a scalpel and did some kind of magic that I couldn’t even begin to explain,” Jimmy explained.
“He opened the valve, and the operation was a success. It was the longest three hours of my life.”
