'Tonight Show' Host Jimmy Fallon and Wife Nancy Juvonen's Love Story Was Years in

the Making

Jimmy Fallon married Nancy Juvonen in 2007. They are parents to two daughters:
Winnie Rose, born in 2013, and Frances Cole, born in 2014. He is set to host One
World: Together at Home with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel on Saturday, April 18
at 8 p.m. on NBC. Now that Jimmy Fallon is hosting The Tonight Show: At Home
Edition each night from the comfort his own home, fans are seeing the late night
host from a whole new lens. Throughout his nightly show, Jimmy sprinkles in
adorable moments with his daughters, Winnie and Frances, along with a popular
segment called "Ask the Fallons" where, just as the name implies, he answers fan
questions with his wife Nancy Juvonen. As it turns out, Jimmy and Nancy have an
incredible love story, which started 15 years ago thanks to their mutual friend
Drew Barrymore. Since then, the couple has been inseparable: They wed in 2007, and
later had two daughters (a.k.a. the true stars of Jimmy's at-home broadcast),
Winnie and Frances. On a recent "Ask the Fallons," the couple reflected on the
night they first met. Years before they officially started dating, Jimmy introduced
himself to Nancy at a taping of Saturday Night Live. Jimmy, of course, was a cast
member from 1998 to 2004, and Nancy was there to support her close friend and the
show's celebrity host, Drew Barrymore. While Nancy was initially taken aback by
Jimmy's hospitality on set, their relationship didn't progress — until the two
reunited on set of Jimmy and Drew's movie, Fever Pitch. Nancy, who was one of the
producers of the movie, admits that she developed a crush on Jimmy when she watched
him interact with a co-producer's kids on set. "I played with Lucy and Jimmy played
with Charlie — really played, really into it, as if they’d come to visit us. So, I
think that’s when my heart just sort of melted even more," she gushed during "Ask
the Fallons." Nancy and Drew founded Flower Films together in 1995. John

want to say you had on white pants, a pink sweater and a green backpack ... and
blonde hair and your white teeth," he told Nancy. "You just stood out in this gray
— it was almost like a painting. You stood out like neon." Even after the movie
wrapped, the couple's love story carried on — though they had a few bumps in the
road. When Fallon was set to propose, Nancy unknowingly secured reservations at the
one of the top restaurants in New York City, Per Se. "I didn't want to propose in
Per Se because what if one year it moves locations and years later I'm going to
have kids and go, 'Your mom and I got [engaged here]. I know it's a laser tag place
but at one point it was a very fancy restaurant,'" he said during "Ask the
Fallons." This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same

While at her parents' summer home on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee in August
2007, Jimmy asked Nancy to marry him. "I went out to the dock and said [to myself],
'Don't cry. Let her cry first,'" he says. "I'm a pretty mushy guy… and I just
wanted it to be perfect," he recalled. They eventually wed on December 29, 2007 at
Necker's Island. This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the

Jimmy opened up about their five-year journey to have a baby — when he had some
exciting news to share. "We tried for a long time, for five years. Anyone who has
tried will know that it's just awful," he told Savannah Guthrie during a Today
interview in 2013. They eventually decided to take the surrogacy route for both of
their daughters. Their oldest daughter Winnie Rose was born on July 23, 2013. Her
name, which was loosely inspired by the couple's proposal spot Lake Winnipesaukee
bears an extra-special meaning: "She's a win for us. It's a big win for us." He
announced the birth of their daughter during his monologue on Late Night with Jimmy
Fallon. This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same

born. She arrived on December 3, 2014, and the talk show host gushed about the
family's new addition on an episode of The Tonight Show. "I just want to say it’s
just a big deal for us and I just want to thank everyone, the nurses and the
doctors and our surrogate, who had our baby. There are angels in Dallas, Texas."

While the talk show host says his daughters are completely different — Winnie is
"very polite," and Franny, "if I turn around for one second, she has two knives" —
there's a chance they may follow in his footsteps. "Whenever we can, we put on
little shows. My wife and I will sit down and we’ll watch them sing a song or tell
a story. Little family talent show. We’re going to be the next Osmonds," he told
People. This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same

saying that fatherhood is the "greatest thing that has ever happened to me." And
quite frankly, the smile on his face says it all. This content is imported from

'DWTS' winner Nyle DiMarco angered by insensitive Jimmy Fallon skit

Dorit Kemsley has had several "panic attacks" since she was the victim of a
terrifying home invasion less than two weeks ago. The "Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills" star relived that horrific evening while chatting with former "RHOBH" co-
star Teddi Mellencamp for "Extra." "First of all, I was completely taken off
guard," she said. "[The burglars] were surprised to see me at home… When they did,
they pushed me to the ground. They said, 'Who else is in the home?'" At the time,
Dorit's two children, Jagger, 7, and Phoenix, 5, were sleeping in their Los Angeles
home. Dorit's husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, was in London. "There was someone else
who said, 'Just kill her, just kill her already, just kill her,' and all I could
think of [was], 'I have to save those babies.' I begged them, I begged for my life,
and begged for their life," Dorit said.  RELATED: A "Real Housewives" star's new
nose job, plus more reality TV stars' plastic surgery before-and-after photos While
telling the crooks to take her belongings, the reality TV star, 45, said she
remained "very calm," but pleaded with them to not hurt her. "I said, 'I don't care
about any of it, take it all. You can have it all. Please, I'm a mother of babies.
Please, they need me. Please don't hurt me,'" she recalled.  Despite the terror of
that night, Dorit knows things could have been much worse.  "I fought for mine and
my kids' lives, and I got lucky," she said. "My kids didn't wake up and they don't
know anything about it." RELATED: Celebrity mug shots Dorit, though, will now live
with that experience and that memory.  "How am I ever going to feel safe again? How
do I protect my children? … I'm going through all of that," she said of the
trauma.  On Nov. 8, the Los Angeles Police Department released surveillance
video of the incident, which showed two masked men breaking into her house and
leaving with a bag of belongings. 

Allison Janney says a ‘germaphobe’ co-star asked that she put Neosporin on her lips
before a kissing scene

Allison Janney’s co-star apparently struggled to kiss the Oscar-winning actress.


The "Mom" star, who appeared on Thursday’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live," revealed a mystery
scene partner once asked her to apply Neosporin on her lips before they filmed a
kissing scene. The antibiotic ointment is used to reduce the risk of infections
from minor skin injuries. "Even before COVID, I had a scene partner who I had to
kiss with, and he was such a germaphobe, he would put Neosporin on his lips and
ask me to put it on mine, too, before he would kiss me," the 61-year-old recalled.
ANNA FARIS IS ENGAGED, SAYS HER 'MOM' CO-STAR ALLISON JANNEY Janney, who wouldn’t
reveal her co-star’s identity, admitted she didn’t know whether Neosporin would
actually prevent germs from spreading or not. "I took it very personally though,"
she said. "Where does he think I put my mouth? It kind of unnerved me, but, you
know, people are germaphobes." Janney clarified the co-star in question was not
Howie Mandel. The "America’s Got Talent" judge has spoken publicly about having
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as mysophobia, a pathological fear of
germs and contamination, Page Six reported. "You might think so, but no, it was not
Howie Mandel," said Janney. "I will not say who it was." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX

are tested regularly for coronavirus to continue filming the CBS sitcom. "I get
tested almost seven to eight times a week dependent upon whether or not I’m going
to be doing kissing scenes," she said.
