In 2021, Jimmy made a rare comment about fatherhood, telling the Wall Street Journal: "I think one of the hardest things about being a celebrity is that you can't go be a parent from time to time.

Jimmy also shared a sweet message to Rylee during an interview with GQ. He said: "With my blood running through your veins, we're not intimidated by anybody, no matter what color their skin is, if they're male, female, how tall they are, how fast. We don't care. You're going to be the best."
