Jimmy Kimmel 'romancing show staffer'

Jimmy Kimmel has begun dating a longtime staffer from his ABC chatshow, according to People.

The Jimmy Kimmel Live star, who split from Sarah Silverman earlier this year, is reportedly romancing co-head writer Molly McNearney.

"After Jimmy and Sarah broke up, Molly and Jimmy both found themselves single, and they clicked. They're really happy together," said a source.

A representative for Kimmel also confirmed the romance.

McNearney, 31, joined the show as an assistant to the executive producer in July 2003. She was promoted to co-head writer last year.

Kimmel split from Silverman in March after a five-year romance.
