Interestingly, the love birds share a common love for dogs, and even Kimmel called her partner mother to her dog.

Avid Dog Lover

Undoubtedly, Kimmel is an avid dog lover, and most of her Insta posts are dedicated to her pets. She has two adorable girl dogs; a labrador retriever whose name is Pony Kimmel, and she has her own Instagram with 1.4k followers.

For Katie, her dogs are more like family members whom she loved to call her daughters. It isn’t wrong to say; her dogs completed her family, and the family of four often went for traveling too.

Katies’ Parents Marriage

During his college days at Arizona State University, Jimmy Kimmel first met his then-wife, Gina Maddy Kimmel.

Also, Gina is three years older than Jimmy, who graduated from Arizona in 1988. On the other hand, Kimmel dropped out of college to pursue his radio career.

The college sweetheart exchanged a vow on June 25, 1988, at an intimate ceremony. After their marriage, the couple relocated to Seattle, Washington, because Jimmy was hired to co-host “The Me and Him Show” at KZOK-FM.

In 1991, Jimmy and his wife welcomed Katie and blessed her with another son, Kevin Kimmel, in 1993. He always took his family with him wherever he was posted for a job.

After years of hustle, he finally made his TV debut in the 1997 in-game show ‘Win Ben Stein’s Money’ but got his breakthrough in 2004 with his own TV show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on ABC.

Divorced

Kimmel’s parents were together for 14 years before they divorced in 2002. However, the couple decided to share joint custody of their two kids and share a cordial relationship.

Afterward, Jimmy dated comedian Sarah Silverman from 2002-2009.

But, Gina prefers to remain single and focused on her career as a costume designer.

Copyright Issues and Controversy

In 2017, Jimmy Kimmel tweeted calling out the eco-friendly fashion brand for ripping off his daughter’s designs.

He also blamed the company for stealing ideas from a young artist and linked them to both sites. Check out the tweet;

“Graphic word products have been a part of the Reformation brand and design aesthetic since we launched in 2009. We have a deep respect for artistic integrity and would never replicate or appropriate the work of a young artist, or any artist for that matter.”

The company concluded the statement stating their brand mission is to “provide a sustainable way to be fashionable.”
