Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman plus five other couples we wish never broke up

How awesome is it when your friend has finally finally finally found a great boyfriend and you’ve gotten all comfortable going out on double dates and at long last you have absolutely zero complaints about the dude? And then how much does it totally suck when they break up? This is how we—and apparently Howard Stern—felt when learning that the comedic supercouple of Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman had broken up. "Jimmy e-mailed me and said they were going through some tough times," says Stern. "I was so upset I had to go take a walk." Kimmel told Stern the split was "mutual," adding that he felt as though he had "lost his best friend." Awww! [US

We hate seeing great couples break up. Some others we wish had remained a unit:

1) Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt – They dressed alike, styled their hair the same, and gosh they were just such a good match. We love our Brangelina and all, but there was something much sweeter about the courtship between Brad and Ms. Paltrow. Sigh.

2) Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake – Let’s face it, Britney needs him back and probably wishes they never split in the first place. Justin may have progressed career-wise but him and Jessica Biel = major zzz’s. We just know JT could whip Brit back into shape and the prince and princess of pop could return and restore order to the musical world. 








3) Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder – He’s got the beautiful Vanessa Paradis and she’s dating, um... Rilo Kiley guitarist Blake Sennett. Exactly. C’mon Johnny—remember where your heart lies? Need you check your tattoo: Wino Forever. 





















4) Drew Barrymore and Fabrizio Moretti – She just broke up with Mac guy, Justin Long and we say a big good riddance! We like our wild child with a rocker, and who better than the adorable, curly haired drummer Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes. Go win him back, Drew!

5) Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe – They were young and in love and we all didn’t think they could make their marriage last, but they had two kids and were together for eight years… and then they broke up. We know we doubted you, but we wish you hadn’t given up so soon, and as much as we like Reese with Jake Gyllenhaal, they’re not a winning couple. So… how about another go? 













Which celebrity couple do you wish would get back together?

    You have GOT to be kidding about Reese & Ryan...

    In pictures, he ALWAYS looked depressed, like he needed Cymbalta.

    They were boring..she is WAY more exciting with Jake.

    Gywneth is too much of an "elitist" for Brad.

    Justin & Britney....not gonna happen.

    Drew & Fabrizio..too "under the radar"

    Johnny Depp & Winona Ryder, the only believable couple of the bunch.

    Ever since Jake started dating Reese, I took him of my list. I hate her! I think Johnny and Winona were the perfect emo couple before emo existed. It seems like ever since Britney and Justin broke up it's been downhill for her. Jessica Biel is way hotter than Britney and uhm, way less trashy...Brad and Gwynny, too much blonde! I wish Salma Hayek and Ed Norton would get back together. Oh, and I hope Jennifer Aniston dumps John Mayer soon.

    I could think of a few I don't WANT to see break up. If Faith Hill and Tim Mcgraw ever call it quits I'll stop believing in love. And Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell are so cute together I'd want compensation for that breakup. And even though they didn't break up, Jackie O should have stayed widowed. She's forever a Kennedy.......
