Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney, has revealed she’s cut ties with certain family members who support President Donald Trump, noting it’s put a “strain” on her relationships with relatives.
Appearing on the November 6 episode of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast alongside her husband, McNearney was asked what it’s like coming from a conservative family and now being part of a show at odds with Trump and the Republican party.
