This week has been full of babies! Duchess Kate and Penelope Cruz gave birth to their babies – an British prince and a Spanish princess, respectively – on Monday, and on Tuesday, Jimmy Fallon and his wife Nancy Juvonen welcomed their first child, a little girl. And now we know the name… Winnie Rose Fallon! Is “Winnie” the real first name or is it short for something?
Surprise — Jimmy Fallon is a dad!
The Late Night host, 38, and wife Nancy Juvonen Fallon welcomed a baby girl on Tuesday, July 23 at 6:21 a.m., his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
The first-time parents are “overjoyed about the arrival of their beautiful daughter,” the rep tells PEOPLE.
Fallon, who will take over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno next year, and his producer wife, 46, were married in December 2007.
Juvonen Fallon, who runs Flower Films with Drew Barrymore, has been referred to as “the coolest girl in the world” by her husband. Perhaps there’s now another lady in the running?
The couple’s latest addition will join Gary, the pair’s female golden retriever who often appears on his Emmy-nominated talk show.
Update: “I’m the father of a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Winnie Rose Fallon and she’s so cute. She’s 5 lbs., 9 oz. Me and my wife are so happy,” Fallon said during his monologue Wednesday. “Thank you all for all the well-wishes on Facebook and Twitter and the blogs. I’m just so happy.”
I feel like I’ve heard “Winnie Rose” before, but I just Googled it and I can’t find the reference I’m thinking of. If they like the name “Winnie,” that’s great. My association – as with many people from my generation, probably – with the name is from Wonder Years and the character Winnie Cooper, played by Danica McKellar. That being said, I find that I like the flow of “Winnie Rose Fallon” a lot. And I’m sort of glad Winnie isn’t short for Winifred.

I think Winnie Rose is an adorable name!
Congrats to them! Was this via surrogate or IVF?
Once you hit the mid to upper 40’s, chances are that it was at least a donor egg.
what a cute name, congrats to them.
Sweet name. Congrats to them, love Jimmy Fallon!
Cute name. Good for them and I like that Fallon’s wife isn’t someone obvious like a supermodel or a young actress.
Love him. Years ago I hung out with him at an after hour spot; we had a mutual friend. He was funny as hell and kind. He said that he normally didn’t date famous women. I got some stories about Jimmy but I love him so I won’t tell.
Congrats on the baby Fallon.
you can’t keep doing that V4, not fair..
@Blue Marie I can’t because I would also be telling on myself.
But this is funny and I believe Fallon told this one himself, he was so twisted one night he slapped a guy in the face for no apparent reason.
@marie-I was holding my breath, wondering if V4 was gonna say she tapped that. A bit disappointed that she did not, but I still wanna hear the stories!
You tease, V4. Someday marie and I will get you drunk, and you will tell all.
I’m learning not to kiss and tell everything b/c people on line will be like you little hussy or groupie which is definetely not the case. The circle I used to run in just afforded me the opportunities to meet a lot of people. Some I got close to and some I just chilled with. I used to think Fallon was gay but found out that he wasn’t and no I didn’t tap that but my girlfriend did.
Maybe it’s the dimples, but she doesn’t look 46! I think they are adorable together! Congrats!
I was shocked when I saw she is 46 years old.Girl looks really good!
Is it getting fashionable again to have your kids this late in life? That would make me very happy 🙂
It’s never really gone out of fashion in my area where many people start families in their mid 30’s to early 40’s. A mother at my son’s school is 43 and is contemplating a second child (she was 41 when she had her first). 40 is my personal cutoff but whatever works for people you know? Congrats to them!
I know! I would have guessed 36 MAX.
They both look great.
In the Wonder Years “Winnie” was short for Gwendolyn.
+1
cute name 😀
but… winnie the pooh! or, winnie, more like weenie! or winnebago. Or some very clever people (yeah right) call him jimmy Failon. So. Winnie Failon.
Oh well, I love Jimmy. and was really hoping he’d father MY children but whatever man.
He’s hot. Also, think they’d make great parents.
I love this, man. He can do very little wrong in my eyes. He is on my forever dong list!
I love Jimmy. Had no idea he and his wife were expecting a baby. Her name is cute. As long as they don’t name the next one Tigger lol (though Roo wouldn’t be too bad. 😉 )
I like it too! I think it’s a sweet name and I like him so much too. Congrats to the Fallons.
Congrats to them! There were rumors about struggles in this area (unclear from the statement whether she or surrogate carried the babe)–so mazel mazel!!
When I frist glanced at the picture I thought he was standing next to Cheryl Tiegs.
i think it sounds terrible but it is not made up and when combined with the last name it is not a joke so i have no beef with it
I like the name. It’s a real name and not overly used. Congrats Jimmy, I think you’ll make a GREAT daddy!
I love him… I was shocked to learn they had a baby? I don’t recall hearing she was pregnant? Congrats to them both! Such wonderful news!
FYI… The gal in Lady Antebellum, Hilary Scott also gave birth on Monday to a baby girl! Congrats to all the new parents!
Congratulations!!
I’m impressed that she was able to have a baby at 46!!
That’s weird. Winnie Rose is my screen name on another website. Nice choice! Congrats to them!
I’ve loved that name since The Wonder Years and I bet he was a big fan of it growing up.
Congrats!
I think the name is very cute! His wife is very attractive, she looks much younger than 46.
You got a hat for your daughter from Tweetlebug Boutique!
I’ve met and worked with Nancy–she’s a really nice, sweet woman. And I’ve also seen Jimmy Fallon out at the bars in NYC, hitting on pretty much any woman that walks up to him. There’s plenty of stories going around how he’s cheated on her in the past, and even now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re true, since he’s a pretty nasty drunk.
