Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have broken up, their publicists said Monday.

"Jimmy and Sarah have no further comment," Kimmel's spokesman Lewis Kay told The Associated Press, confirming the split that was first reported on Vanity Fair's Web site.

Silverman's publicist, Amy Zvi, confirmed the breakup in an e-mail message to the AP. Zvi didn't immediately respond when asked for further details.

The pair dated for five years.

Earlier this year, they took the Internet by storm with a mega-popular video duel. Silverman debuted a clip of her and Matt Damon singing about their fake love affair on Kimmel's ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Kimmel later responded with a star-studded video declaring a romance with Damon's best friend, Ben Affleck.

'No, I'm A Married Man'

Christie Brinkley's ex-husband Peter Cook says he's sorry he got involved with the 18-year-old who helped wreck their marriage.

The couple were married for a decade before Cook, 49, met Diana Bianchi and began a sexual relationship with her.

Bianchi says Cook showed interest in her and she reciprocated until their relationship ended in late 2005.

Cook told the Fox News Channel on Sunday if he had the chance to do it again he'd say: "No, I'm a married man."

Brinkley and Cook's divorce trial ended Thursday after a week of testimony about Cook's affair and Web porn habit. Brinkley got custody of their two children and properties. Cook got $2.1 million.
