Jimmy Kimmel’s son, Billy, has undergone his third open-heart surgery.

On Monday, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host shared a photo of his and wife Molly McNearney’s 7-year-old son in a hospital bed after his procedure.

Billy was born in 2017 with a serious heart defect. In an emotional monologue shortly after Billy’s birth, Kimmel revealed that his newborn required open-heart surgery three days after he was born.

At the time, Kimmel shared that Billy had “a hole in the wall of the left and right side of his heart” that was preventing enough oxygen from reaching his blood.

At the time, Kimmel shared that Billy had “a hole in the wall of the left and right side of his heart” that was preventing enough oxygen from reaching his blood.

In his latest post, Kimmel wrote that his son “came out with a new valve.”

“This weekend, our boy Billy had his third (of three, we hope) open heart surgery. We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid,” Kimmel wrote, thanking the “brilliant” medical professionals for their “immeasurable kindness and expertise.”

“Walking around this hospital, meeting parents at their most vulnerable, children in pain and the miracle workers who do everything in their considerable power to save them is a humbling experience,” the late night talk show host continued.

Kimmel spoke highly of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and how it helps families in need. He also thanked the “loving strangers who took time to pray for and send positive energy to our baby, thanks to our family and friends for rallying around us to an almost-ridiculous extent.”

He also thanked his wife for “being stronger than is reasonable for any Mom to be” and son Billy for being the “toughest (and funniest) 7 year-old” they know.
