Jimmy Kimmel’s Daughter Katie Kimmel Gives Birth, Welcomes First Baby

Jimmy Kimmel has a new title on his resume: grandfather. 

After the late night talk show host missed the May 19 taping of his show, he told the audience the following evening that he had the sweetest excuse as his daughter Katie Kimmel and her husband Will Logsdon welcomed their first baby together. 

“We were supposed to have a show last night but we didn’t because my daughter had a baby last night,” Jimmy explained to the audience during the May 20 episode. “My oldest daughter, she’s 83 years old, her name is Katie. Katie and her husband Will had a baby girl right at the time we shot our show last night.”

And while Jimmy—who shares Katie, 33, along with son Kevin, 31, with ex Gina Maddy, as well as kids Jane, 10, and Billy, 8, with wife Molly McNearney—expressed how important it was to be there for Katie.
