Jimmy Fallon and Wife Nancy Juvonen’s Marriage Is in a State of ‘Crisis’: Meet Her Amid the News

Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen got married in 2007, and while it seemed they'd never look back, time hasn't been kind. They share two daughters and both have successful careers in media, but amid In Touch's report that their marriage has hit a rough patch, fans want to know more about her.

How Did Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen Meet?

Nancy’s work and friendship with Drew Barrymore allowed her to meet Jimmy. The ladies met in 1993 through Nancy’s brother, Jim, who was working as a writer and producer on the set of Drew’s movie Mad Love. The ladies now own film production company Flower Films together and have produced iconic movies like Donnie Darko, Never Been Kissed and 50 First Dates.

Fast forward to 2004, Nancy first met Jimmy on the set of Saturday Night Live, where Drew was guest hosting at the time. “I kind of crept in quietly, and all of a sudden Jimmy goes, ‘Hey, Nancy! You’re Nancy? Hi, it’s so nice to meet you, welcome!’” she said during an at-home edition of The Tonight Show. “I felt just so embraced and cool, like, ‘Thank you! Thank you for welcoming me in. This is so nice, it’s so intimidating [here].’” 

The positive first impression carried over to when Nancy and Jimmy started working together on Fever Pitch. “So, I had that thought from years before, going in. But then on the set [of Fever Pitch], we were on location and that really creates this camp feel for everybody. And he was just so friendly and fun and welcoming and he loved music,” the former flight attendant explained. Her heart “melted even more” when she saw how amazing the comedian was with children when coproducer Bradley Thomas’ kids visited the set.

As for Jimmy, it was a pair of white pants that made him fall head over heels in love with his now-wife. “You came to set … [in] white pants, a pink sweater and a green backpack … blonde hair and your white teeth,” he explained about filming in Boston at the time. “You just stood out in this gray [background], almost like a painting. You stood out like a neon … and I was like, ‘Wow.’ Yeah, you just stuck out. And you were just so fun — we had so much fun on that [set], didn’t we?”

Are Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen Still Together?

Jimmy and Nancy appeared to be going strong for some time, but the writers' strike in Hollywood put a strain on their relationship, a source told In Touch in October 2023. “Jimmy and Nancy have always had a contentious relationship, but it’s been particularly bad recently. Especially during the writers’ strike they were fighting a lot, arguing over money, living arrangements and his drinking,” the source told In Touch. 

According to the outlet, Jimmy now lives in Long Island while Nancy and the girls live in the Sagaponack family home. The television host reportedly gave no "clear reason" behind the decision to move.
