As if Larry David didn't have enough to be cantankerous about.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Laurie David, his wife of nearly 14 years, have quietly and "completely amicably" separated, a source close to the couple confirms to E! Online.

The source added that the two remain "the best of friends," and, for once, it doesn't just appear to be Hollywood speak. Both the Seinfeld cocreator and the environmental activist continue to live together in their Los Angeles home, though the comic mastermind is planning on moving out.

Eventually.

Despite the separation, the twosome had dinner together at their home Monday night along with their two children, 12-year-old Cazzie and 10-year-old Romy, both of whom appeared alongside papa David last month on an episode of Disney's kid-friendly Hannah Montana.

There is no word on whether a divorce is in works.

The split, first reported by the New York Post's Page Six, comes in the wake of Laurie David's much publicized tour with Sheryl Crow to draw awareness to the benefits of green living and to shed light on various environmental matters. For his part, Larry joined his wife for the final engagement of the two-week Stop Global Warming College tour at George Washington University on Apr. 27. He performed alongside Carole King, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Crow, and took time out from the do to compliment his better half.

"If the people that were working on a cure for baldness had the same passion and commitment as my wife has for global warming, I would have a full head of hair," he said.

Laurie David, 49, has also had Hollywood success, serving as a producer on Al Gore's 2006 Oscar-winning global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

There's no word on how the split may affect, if at all, the story arc of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which will be returning for a sixth season later this year on HBO. In the series, David plays an exaggerated version of himself and Cheryl Hines channels Laurie.

No premiere date has been set for the new season, but production began last fall.
