Just the other day, Jennifer Aniston was on her way to her friend’s place to join in the fun of celebrating his son’s first birthday. Rocking a laid-back look, the recently single actress opted for a tank top, jeans, and slides as she attended Jimmy Kimmel’s party for his son Billy. Paparazzi caught a glimpse of the 49-year-old as she made her way to the comedian’s house, just around the time when her ex-husband Justin Theroux was also spotted heading back home.
Staying chill: Jennifer Aniston looked cheerful as she made her way to Jimmy Kimmel’s place for his son’s big first birthday bash. The two are close pals of the funny late-night host and his wife Molly McNearney. It was a significant celebration for the family, as little Billy has faced some tough health challenges since birth. The little one had to undergo a major heart surgery just days after entering the world last May. Jimmy even took to social media recently to praise his son’s strength and resilience.
The 49-year-old woman was spotted arriving at the comedian’s house, following news that her estranged husband Justin Theroux had also been seen leaving the area. Additionally, the 50-year-old comedian urged his 11.5 million social media followers to register to vote as a birthday gift for his son Billy in hopes of improving the healthcare system in the United States. Posting a photo of his son in a highchair with a party hat, surrounded by balloons, Jimmy expressed gratitude for the medical staff at Cedars Sinai and Children’s LA who had saved Billy’s life. He encouraged everyone to wish Billy a happy birthday by registering to vote using the link provided.
Family friend Jennifer came by to give little Billy Kimmel her well-wishes on his special day. Jimmy had previously mentioned that he was hesitant to bond with his son after he was born with a heart defect. At first, Jimmy and his wife kept their feelings to themselves, but they both realized they had similar fears after the baby’s second surgery. Jimmy admitted that they had kept secrets from each other until after the second surgery, including the subconscious fear of getting too attached to their baby due to uncertainty about his health. The couple reflected on whether this was a common feeling among parents in similar situations.
Happy birthday to the little guy! Billy Kimmel is celebrating his first birthday today.
Kimmel’s son was diagnosed with a heart condition right after he was born, and a photo was taken of him in the NICU just last year.
‘When I mentioned how I was feeling, she was relieved and said she felt the same but didn’t want to talk about it.’
Following his surgery, Jimmy, who has kids Katie, 26, and Kevin, 24, with ex-wife Gina and three-year-old Jane with Molly, shared that Billy was ‘doing well’ but would need more treatment.
He added, ‘Billy will have another surgery when he’s older, around six or seven years old, but for now, he’s doing really well.’
