Jimmy Kimmel Says It 'Took Time' to Be Friends With Ex Sarah Silverman

Exes who remain friends: In a recent interview, Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he and his ex-girlfriend, the incredibly talented Sarah Silverman, have managed to maintain a friendly relationship after their breakup in 2009. It wasn't immediate, though—it took some time for them to rebuild their friendship. This revelation came during Jimmy's appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," where the late-night host discussed the evolution of their post-breakup dynamic.

Jimmy Kimmel Live host Jimmy Kimmel, who just turned 51, shared how he and Sarah Silverman, now 48, kept their friendship alive after their seven-year relationship ended. When a fan called in to ask about their connection, Jimmy responded with a candid answer: "It definitely took some time... It wasn’t like we hated each other or anything. But becoming friends again required a bit of patience and comfort." He added that while there wasn’t animosity after the split, it still took effort to rebuild their bond.

Proof of Their Ongoing Friendship

In the image, Sarah, looking as cool as ever, is captured with Jimmy and his wife, Molly McNearney, smiling in the background. Molly, whom Jimmy married in 2013, has been an important part of his life, and together they have two children: daughter Jane, 4, and son Billy, 1.

    Family Matters

    Jimmy and Molly’s family life has had its fair share of ups and downs. Shortly after Billy’s birth in 2017, the couple faced a medical crisis when their newborn son required surgery to repair a congenital heart defect. Jimmy, always the comedian, joked to Us Weekly about how he plans to explain the scars on Billy's chest: "We’re going to tell him he was attacked by a monster." Despite the humor, the situation was serious, and Jimmy felt compelled to give back. He ended up raising an impressive $5.5 million for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where Billy received treatment.

    Reflecting on the experience, Jimmy said, "I looked around at this amazing hospital and thought, 'I have a television show and a story to tell.' If I can help raise money and awareness for these incredible doctors and nurses, then that's what I'll do." It’s a testament to his generosity and commitment to giving back to the community that supported his family during a challenging time.
