Kimmel + Silverman Deny They Are Back Together

JIMMY KIMMEL and ex SARAH SILVERMAN have downplayed rumours of a romantic reunion after they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles over the weekend (26-28Sep08).

Rumours the pair had given their relationship another go spread like wildfire after they were snapped acting like a couple again on a night out in L.A.

The comedienne and the late night U.S. TV host split in July (08) after five years together.

But a representative for the pair insists their tactile actions were purely platonic.

The spokesperson tells Usweekly.com, “They remain close friends.”
