Yesterday we had a really sweet story about how Jimmy Kimmel’s kids wanted him to get married to Sarah Silverman. It sounds like both his son and daughter have a real fondness for Sarah. Unfortunately they’re not going to get their wish – in a big way. Us Weekly has confirmed that the couple have broken up again, and it seems like this one is permanent.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel and comic Sarah Silverman have called it quits again, a source tells Usmagazine.com. The couple, who have been dating on-and-off for the last few months, started dating six years ago. “Sarah initiated the split this time,” the source tells Us. “He’s bummed.”

This breakup happened within the last two weeks. “He’s really blue — very down,” another source tells Us. “Seems like it’s over for good this time. He’s sad because he just bought a new place and now has nobody to share it with.”

The couple, who first split in July, reunited last fall. “We’re just being right now,” Silverman told Us in November.

The pair met during a roast for Hugh Hefner, where Silverman told the audience he was fat and joked he had no charisma — but that didn’t stop them from working together.

“He hired me to do voices on [Comedy Central’s] Crank Yankers and around the second season of that we started hanging out,” Silverman has said. “A while after that he kissed me.”

This is a big bummer. Sarah and Jimmy just made so much sense together. Clearly their relationship had a lot of laughter and good stuff in it. I mean their running joke about f***ing Matt Damon became so epic outside their relationship that it actually won an Emmy. It just always struck me as a relationship that’d be fun to be in, but obviously there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s especially sad for Jimmy’s kids. His teenage son Kevin talked about a wedding, and supposedly told him to “put a ring on it.” It seemed like they needed to know Sarah and Jimmy were solid and wouldn’t break up again. Unfortunately that’s exactly what happened.
