Jimmy Kimmel Spotted with His Rarely-Seen 'Copy-Paste' Son Who 'Looks 50' - His Parents' Split Caused Talks

• Jimmy Kimmel was spotted with his eldest son, who prefers to remain out of the public eye.
• Jimmy and his wife went through a tough separation, and their two children are still recovering from the divorce.
• Jimmy's son recently married and has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

The famous late-night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, was recently spotted with his oldest son, Kevin Kimmel. The two posed side-by-side for a photo as they sat courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game.

The photo sparked a lot of online discussions, with many fans claiming they never even knew Jimmy had a 29-year-old son. Jimmy wore a blue shirt beneath a black puffer vest with black jeans, while his son looked sleek in a black shirt over a black t-shirt paired with blue jeans.

Many people noticed how identical Jimmy and his son looked. The two shared the same facial expression, accentuated by their strikingly similar facial hair. They even shared the same posture as they glanced at the camera, resting their arms on their knees and clutching their right hand in their left.

Jimmy Appears with His Rarely-Seen Eldest Son, Kevin

For the first time in ages, Jimmy's oldest son was seen in public. Jimmy shares Kevin with his ex-wife, Gina Kimmel, along with a daughter, the 31-year-old Katie Kimmel. The talk show host also shares two younger children with his current wife.

Jimmy's ex-wife, Gina, makes a living as a fashion designer and entrepreneur.

Fans responded to the photo of Jimmy and Kevin, noting how uncanny the young man's resemblance to his father is. People responded to a Facebook post made by TMZ, saying, "What in the copy-paste is going on here!?"

Another internet user mentioned, "They look like twins," while someone else noted, "29 ya you had to mention the age cause he looks 50," while another wrote, "Thought it was his brother."

Some fans were glad to see Jimmy and his son together in public, since the talk show host and his ex-wife had a reasonably messy divorce. Although Jimmy and Gina parted ways, the dad always tried to maintain a close bond with his son and daughter.

Who Is Kevin and His Sister's Mom, the Ex-wife of Jimmy Kimmel?

Jimmy's ex-wife, Gina, makes a living as a fashion designer and entrepreneur. She also tried her hand at acting a few years ago but gave up the profession. Gina completed two degrees, starting her academic career at Northern Illinois University, and started her acting career in 1999 with "The Man Show."

She has featured in a range of other TV shows and films but has remained out of the public eye since 2012. Gina met Jimmy while they were both studying at Arizona State University. She graduated in 1988, the same year she tied the knot with Jimmy, while he dropped out to pursue a career in radio.

The couple had their first child, Katie, in 1991, and Kevin followed two years later in 1993. Gina and Jimmy spent 15 years together, divorcing in 2002 amid rumors of infidelity. At the time, Jimmy had a close relationship with his fellow comedian Sarah Silverman, which sparked much debate after the divorce.

Jimmy and Sarah met at a comedy club in 2001 after Sarah told a joke at Jimmy's expense. The two immediately bonded and developed a friendship afterward. Jimmy also hired her to help him with "Crank Yankers," which helped their friendship develop even further.

After Jimmy and Gina divorced in 2002, the comedian almost instantly started dating Sarah, which raised quite a few eyebrows. Nonetheless, the pair were happy together for a number of years. Although Gina and Jimmy's divorce happened with rumors of him cheating circulating, the couple settled the case amicably.

What Became of Kevin Kimmel, Jimmy's Son?

Like both his parents, Kevin pursued a career in entertainment. Kevin grew up while Jimmy was still building a career for himself. As a boy, his dad was often absent, trying to find work after being fired or spending his time hosting radio shows. Jimmy commented on the start of his career and missing his kids:

"You want to have quality time with them — it's much harder for parents who are with their kids 24/7 to enjoy that time together."

Kevin grew up to inherit his dad's sense of humor and love for entertainment production. The oldest of Jimmy's two sons works in television as a production assistant, and he married Nicole Kimmel in 2022.
