Jimmy Fallon and Wife Nancy Juvonen: A Timeline of Their Relationship

Jimmy Fallon has had wife Nancy Juvonen by his side for nearly two decades.

The couple met in 2005 when Juvonen visited the set of Saturday Night Live with longtime friend Drew Barrymore. However, Fallon and Juvonen didn’t start dating until they reunited on the set of Fever Pitch nearly one year later.

“[Nancy] just stood out in this gray [background], almost like a painting,” Fallon shared on an episode of The Tonight Show in April 2020. “You stood out like a neon [person].”

The pair tied the knot in December 2007 and welcomed daughters Winnie and Frances via surrogate in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Fallon has been open throughout the years about how fatherhood has changed him.

“My biggest revelation is how much I ended up caring for other people’s kids if that makes any sense. You get it more,” he told Fatherly in October 2020. “When I didn’t have kids, if I heard a crying baby in the restaurant, I would think, ‘Can you stop the crying and go around the block?’ Now I would be like, ‘Just give me the baby — how can I help? I’ve been there.”
