Jimmy Fallon has allegedly been accused of hooking up with Ariana Grande while he’s married to his wife, Nancy Juvonen.
TikTok user Dear Janel posted about the unconfirmed gossip on the platform without mentioning the names of Fallon and Grande. However, some fans put two and two together and concluded that the claims were about them.
In its Feb. 7 issue, In Touch Weekly claimed that Fallon’s wife doesn’t believe that he had a fling with Grande. But even if this is the case, the ongoing whispers are affecting their marriage.
“Nancy doesn’t believe the rumors, but it doesn’t matter if they’re not true – it’s incredibly embarrassing for her to hear people talk about her husband being infatuated with this gorgeous younger woman. The last thing they need in their marriage was tension,” the source said.
The insider claimed that Fallon’s behavior especially towards Grande has not helped change the public’s perception of him. In fact, most fans realized just how flirty he was towards Grande when the latter was on The Tonight Show.
“He’s constantly flirting with Ariana and vice versa. They clearly have great chemistry. The fact that Jimmy and Ariana are always showing off how close they are on national TV only fans the flames that more could be going on between them,” the source said.
But at home, Fallon has allegedly been doing some damage control. He continuously reassures his wife that he’s only got eyes for her.
It is also important to note that Grande is happily married to her husband, Dalton Gomez.
But the source insisted that these types of rumors can bring up insecurities and destroy marriages.
“But this kind of gossip brings up insecurities and would make any woman question her faith in her husband and their relationship. It can be disheartening. Nancy’s put up with a lot in the past: Jimmy’s drinking, going out to bars, hanging with fans, and working 24/7 was a problem. But unlike some couples, they’ve actually been brought closer together by the pandemic,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt.
There’s no proof that Fallon and Grande are having an affair. And it’s even more untrue that the rumors are causing problems to the host’s marriage.
Since Fallon and Juvonen have been married since 2007, they most likely know how to handle these types of dubious claims.
