Jimmy Fallon's 2 Kids: All About Winnie and Frances

Jimmy Fallon has been a father for as long as he’s been a host Tonight’s show.

The comedian and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, welcomed their first child together, daughter Winnie Rose, 11, in 2013. They welcomed their second daughter, Frances Cole, 10, the following year — shortly after Fallon made his hosting debut.

The proud dad has mixed his private and professional life, and he often tells anecdotes about his children in the show. He was filming during the COVID-19 pandemic Tonight’s show from his home and portrayed his family life even more closely to the viewers, and the girls often appeared in front of the cameras.

“You have to understand that I never thought I was going to be that guy,” he told PEOPLE in 2018. “And what I mean by that guy is that now I’m the guy that shows you pictures of their kid on their phone and I’m like, ‘Isn’t this the cutest thing?'”

In May 2024, Fallon spoke with Hey! News about raising Winnie and Frances to understand the value of hard work, rather than relying on his celebrity status for everything they want.

“I didn’t get them tickets to see [Taylor Swift]. I said, ‘No, you have to earn certain things. I can’t do it just for you,” he said. “I want them to be as normal and less sassy as they can be. And they are the most beautiful children.”

Fallon and Juvonen welcomed their first daughter, Winnie Rose, on July 23, 2013, via surrogate mother.

Winnie often appeared on Tonight’s show while Fallon filmed from his Sussex County home during the pandemic. In one adorable cameo, Winnie said she lost a tooth.

“Wait. I’m sorry. What do you need to show me?” dad-of-two Winnie asked as she jumped on his lap during an interview with Ciara and Russell Wilson. “Wait, this is big news, tell them what just happened.”

“I lost a tooth!” Winnie exclaimed, eliciting cheers from the celebrity couple.

“My mom put a string around my tooth and tried to pull it out and then it worked,” she revealed as the “Level Up” singer asked how it happened.

Becoming a regular guest as her father conducted Zoom interviews from his home office, Winnie also gave Jon Hamm a lesson in farm animals.

Fallon’s daughters also share a close bond, with the proud dad noting that Winnie has become a helpful big sister.

“They’re total friends,” he told PEOPLE in 2018. “There are some fights, but they’re kids’ fights. They’re automatically best friends because they’re around each other all day.”

“But Winnie is still the oldest and now she kind of helps Franny,” he added. “He talks to her and she says, ‘No Franny. Don’t do that.’ It’s interesting how they help each other, you can say they are forever connected.”

A few months after Fallon started hosting Tonight’s showhe 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’s ever happened to me. And everything is 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 cracking up at her dad’s celebrity interviews.

During one of the monologue parts of his home edition Tonight’s showFranny entered the frame to tell Dad a secret.

“May I help you?” Fallon asked his daughter, who replied, “Dad, you know what?” before leaning down to whisper something in his ear.

Franny went on to tell her dad that someone “has two things to do,” before talking more about the secret topic.

Reflecting on his time on the show from home, Fallon said the experience helped him bond even more with his daughters.

“I got really close to my daughters during it [lockdown] because normally I’ve never been home that long,” he told PEOPLE in March 2021. “I’m usually at work, so I have to really wake up and go to bed with them every night for months. I think there was a real connection there that we will never forget.”

Franny’s playful personality comes through in the Fallon daughters’ frequent Instagram posts. In one video where he is making a summer fruit salad, the author of the children’s book asks Winnie and Franny if they will help him.

“Not!” jokes Franny, as a delighted Winnie shouts, “Yes.”

When it comes to whether Franny and Winnie will follow in their father’s showbiz footsteps, Fallon said his girls enjoy performing.

“I love them so much. Whenever we can, we put on little shows,” Fallon told PEOPLE of his daughters. “My wife and I will sit down and watch them sing a song or tell a story. A little family talent show. We’ll be the next Osmonds.”
