While it's not exactly clear if Sarah Silverman is f--king Jimmy Kimmel, there have definitely been hints lately that she might be—starting with today's appearance on The View.

Barbara Walters broached the issue of a possible rekindling by bringing up Silverman's statement to the New York Times about her status with Kimmel: "We talk every day. It's fine, it's great. I'm doing his show at the end of the month. We're very Demi and Bruce."

The comedian wasn't as candid on the morning chatfest, though. "In total respect to you and your legendness, I do not feel beholden to define my personal relationship to you," Silverman playfully told Walters. "It's not like a big drama thing. We're just not, like, defining it. We're just being right now. Is that OK?"

Which might explain this weekend's sighting...

The comedic couple, who called it quits back in July after five years together, both attended Howard Stern's wedding at Le Cirque restaurant in New York. The two appeared to be rather affectionate with each other. Kimmel, at one point, went so far as to grab Silverman's rear.

This just weeks after Silverman took the stage to accept her Emmy for the music video "I'm F--king Matt Damon" and said, "Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel. Who broke my heart. Oh, who'll always have a place in my heart."

Wait a minute. What about Matt's feelings in all of this?
