Jimmy Fallon has been a father for as long as he’s been the host of The Tonight Show. The comedian and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, welcomed their first child, daughter Winnie Rose, in 2013. They welcomed their second daughter, Frances Cole, the following year — not long after Fallon made his hosting debut. The proud dad often shares anecdotes about his children on the show, blending his personal and professional life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he filmed The Tonight Show from home, giving viewers a closer look at his family life, with the girls frequently appearing on camera. “You have to realize, I never thought I’d become that guy,” he told PEOPLE in 2018. “And what I mean by that guy is that now I’m the guy who shows you pictures of their kid on the phone and I go, ‘Isn’t this the cutest thing?'”
In May 2024, Fallon spoke with E! News about raising Winnie and Frances to understand the value of hard work rather than leaning on his celebrity status. “I didn’t get them tickets to see [Taylor Swift]. I said, ‘No, you have to earn certain things. I can’t just do this for you,'” he said. “I want them to be as normal and less bratty as they can possibly be. And they’re the nicest kids.” Keep reading to learn everything about Jimmy Fallon’s two children.
Winnie Rose Fallon, 11
Fallon and Juvonen welcomed their first daughter, Winnie Rose, on July 23, 2013, via surrogate. Winnie often appeared on The Tonight Show while Fallon was filming from his Sussex County home during the pandemic. In one adorable appearance, Winnie shared that she had lost a tooth. “Hold on. I’m sorry. What do you need to show me?” the dad of two asked Winnie as she hopped onto his lap during an interview with Ciara and Russell Wilson. “Wait, this is big news, guys, tell them what just happened.” “I lost a tooth!” Winnie exclaimed, prompting cheers from the celebrity couple.
Frances Cole Fallon, 9
Several months after Fallon began hosting The Tonight Show, he and Juvonen welcomed their second child, Frances Cole, on December 3, 2014, via surrogate. “This has been the craziest year of my life,” the late-night host told PEOPLE that June, “but being a father is the most exciting, amazing thing that ever happened to me. And everything’s going well on the show. My life has never been this cool.” Just like her older sister, Frances, who goes by the nickname “Franny,” is no stranger to crashing her dad’s celebrity interviews. During one of the monologue portions of his at-home edition of The Tonight Show, Franny entered the frame to tell her dad a secret. “Can I help you?” Fallon asked his daughter, who responded, “Daddy, you know what?” before leaning in to whisper something into his ear. Franny went on to tell her dad that someone “has two things that she needs to do,” before speaking more on the secret subject.
Who Is Jimmy Fallon's Wife? All About Film Producer Nancy Juvonen
Jimmy Fallon may be a well-known late-night TV host, but his producer wife, Nancy Juvonen, has an impressive résumé of her own. The couple first met in 2004 on the set of Saturday Night Live — Fallon was a cast member at the time, and Juvonen was there to support her longtime friend Drew Barrymore, who was hosting. They crossed paths again when Juvonen was working as a producer on Fever Pitch, which co-starred Barrymore and Fallon. It wasn’t long before the two began seeing each other and, after a brief engagement, Fallon and Juvonen tied the knot on Sir Richard Branson’s private island in December 2007.
