Congratulations are in order for Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney. The couple is expecting their second child together.
The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host announced during Monday night's episode that McNearney was pregnant with their second baby. Kimmel also revealed that he will be hosting the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in 2017.
"My wife is hosting a baby inside her body, so that's what's coming," he quipped. "We got the ultrasound, which is weird because it's like you're already spying on the baby-but we asked the technician not to tell us whether we're having a boy or a girl."
Kimmel added that he and Nearney wanted the baby's gender to be a surprise and joked about already choosing two names for the little bundle of joy; Dyson after the vacuum or Gelatin with a J, both of which have been ruled out by Mrs. Kimmel. "So - there's a lot of exciting stuff going on," he continued. "Congratulations to me, I'm hosting the Oscars and I had sex. - two things as a teenage boy I never thought would be possible."
Kimmel, 49, and Nearney, 38, got married in 2013 and already have a two-year-old daughter named Jane. Kimmel is also father to two other children; a son named Kevin and daughter Katherine with his first marriage to costume designer Gina Maddy, whom he divorced after 14 years of marriage in 2002, according to E! News.
Nearney, who is a screenwriter by profession, recently put her baby bump on display during a family beach outing with Kimmel and Jane in Hawaii, Daily Mail reported. The expectant mother held Jane in her hands while the soon-to-be father clicked pictures of them.
Kimmel will host the 2017 Oscars for the very first time. He has previously hosted the American Music Awards and the Emmy Awards twice; in 2012 and 2016. Previous hosts of the Academy Awards include the likes of Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris and Seth MacFarlane.
