Kimmel and McNearny have two children together—daughter Jane and son William “Billy” John. “Roughly half the women who have abortions live below the poverty line.” What a waste of time.’ That was the first and only thing he probably said to me the entire first year of working there.” When you have camaraderie with your coworkers, one of the parts of that is making fun of the boss a little bit, and now to think, That’s the guy I’m dating, I didn’t want that to stop,” she told Glamour.
