AceShowbiz - It's still early December, but 2017 is already shaping up to be a big year for Jimmy Kimmel. Shortly after confirming that he's going to host the 89th Academy Awards ceremony for the first time, the late-night show host announced during the Monday, December 5 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he's expecting his second child with wife Molly McNearney.
"Also, my wife, is hosting a baby inside her body. So that's what's coming," Kimmel told the audience. "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. Our plan is to let the child decide for itself. We want that to be a surprise."
The 49-year-old funnyman went on joking about the names for the baby. "I have been trying to think of names that would work for a boy or girl. So far, I've come up with two: No. 1 Dyson after the vacuum or Gelatin with a J," he shared. "No? That's exactly what my wife said."
"So, there's a lot of exciting stuff going on," he added. "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 and McNearney got married in 2013. They are already proud parents to 2-year-old daughter Jane. Kimmel is also a dad to adult son and daughter, Kevin and Katherine, from his first marriage.
