Jimmy Kimmel's wife opens up about 'lost' relationships with Trump-supporting families

Jimmy Kimmel's wife is opening up about her "lost" relationships with some family members over their support of President Donald Trump.

Molly McNearney, 47, said on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast that navigating her relationships with conservative family members, especially as Kimmel became the target of Trump's attack, has "definitely been challenging."

McNearney, who works as a producer and writer on her husband's late-night show, said she came of age "in a very conservative, Republican" household, so when Trump was first elected in 2016, though she herself was disappointed, she felt she could "understand it."
