Celebrities Send Love & Support to Jimmy Kimmel After Son's Open Heart Surgery

Jimmy Kimmel became emotional during his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue on Monday (May 1) while revealing that he and his wife Molly welcomed a son, William “Billy” Kimmel, and he underwent a successful open heart surgery days after he was born.

The 49-year-old late night host had tears in his eyes while discussing the situation with his son.

Since the big reveal, which has since gone viral, Jimmy and Molly have been receiving a ton of support from celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres, Hillary Clinton, and more.

Well said, Jimmy. That's exactly why we fought so hard for the ACA, and why we need to protect it for kids like Billy. And congratulations! https://t.co/77F8rZrD3P
