Jimmy Fallon is giving fans a rare glimpse into his family life, and his daughters, Winnie and Frances, are growing up so fast!
The host of The Tonight Show, 49, took to Instagram on Thursday, August 29, to share a heartwarming family photo that perfectly captures the final moments of their summer together.
In the charming snapshot, Jimmy can be seen leaning lovingly into his wife, Nancy, who looks effortlessly chic in a bright orange dress paired with nude heels.
Standing proudly in front of their parents are Winnie, 11, and Frances, 9, who are clearly inseparable, embracing each other tightly.
Adding an extra touch of warmth to the picture is their family dog, Gary, who stands close by, one of the girls’ hands resting gently on him.

The topic at hand was one many parents can relate to—deciding when to get their kids their first cellphones. As Jimmy explained, he had recently given in to the pressure after noticing that many of his daughters’ friends already had phones.

Despite their well-meaning warnings, Jimmy admitted that the decision was already out of his hands. "It's happening," he said with a resigned smile, acknowledging the inevitability of the situation. "It's out of my control!"
Kelly continued to implore him to reconsider, but Jimmy, ever the comedian, couldn’t help but laugh as he confessed, "I GOT THEM A PHONE!"

"My biggest revelation [about fatherhood] is how much I ended up caring for other people's kids, if that makes any sense. You get it more," he shared.
Before he had children, Jimmy admitted he wasn’t always as understanding when it came to crying babies in public.
"When I didn’t have kids, if I heard a crying baby in the restaurant, I would think, ‘Can you stop the crying and go around the block?’" he recalled. But now, as a father of two, his perspective has shifted dramatically. "Now I would be like, ‘Just give me the baby — how can I help? I’ve been there.'"
