    In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed that his 7-year-old son William "Billy" John is doing well post-surgery.

    "Billy's doing great. He had open-heart surgery; you know he's got the scars and everything, but he's just mentally right back where he was which is crazy," said Kimmel.

    Recovery journey

    Billy's remarkable resilience post-surgery

    Born in 2017 with a congenital heart disease, Billy has demonstrated exceptional resilience following his surgery.

    Kimmel stated, "Physically, you know, we're gonna have to be careful with him for a couple of months, but he's doing really well."

    He also expressed his admiration for the resilience of children in general and acknowledged the doctors' explanation about their natural ability to recover due to their growth phase.

    In May, Kimmel posted a photo of Billy smiling in his hospital bed after the successful surgery. He captioned it: "This weekend, our boy Billy had his third (of three, we hope) open heart surgery."

    The talk show host described the experience as humbling and expressed gratitude toward medical staff, strangers, family, and friends for their unwavering support during this challenging time.

    Family strength
