“I’m Having a Baby” – US Star Announces Pregnancy on The Ellen DeGeneres Show

And so the baby boom continues...

Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney are expecting their first child together.

The television host made the announcement during a recent interview for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which will be aired later this week.

Ever the comedian, he joked: “I’m having a baby… wait, I want to finish… with Ellen… No, I decided to have the first one with my wife.”

When asked about finding out the sex of the baby, Jimmy explained: “I would like it to be a surprise and my wife Molly was happy with that until about a week ago…. but I don’t think it matters… I don’t even think they see colours.”

He proceeded to tell Ellen that he had thought about a number of names including ‘Karate’ and ‘Riddler’ before saying he thought ‘Effin’ would make a great middle name. (Immature as it may be, we like what he did there.)

The little one will be Jimmy’s third child. He already has a daughter (Katie, 22) and son (Kevin, 20) from his previous marriage.
