Jimmy Kimmel and his longtime girlfriend, Molly McNearney, are engaged.

Kimmel, 44 and McNearney — a co-head writer on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — have been dating since 2009. Kimmel popped the question while they were on vacation in Kruger National Park in South Africa, according to people.com.

Kimmel met McNearney after breaking off his long relationship with comedienne Sarah Silverman.

“After Jimmy and Sarah broke up, Molly and Jimmy both found themselves single, and they clicked,” a pal told people.com.

“They’re really happy together.”

Kimmel, who’s hosting the Emmys, was married once before.
