[_The Muppet_ _s_](http://time.com/4042905/muppets-quiz/)‘ stars still seemed rather testy around each other but were willing to talk about what led to their split. Piggy was quick to rattle off several reasons she had wanted to end it. “It’s the usual laundry list, you know,” she explained. “Put the lid down, closing the refrigerator door, not doing the dishes while taking a bath in the sink.” Kimmel asked if the couple was surprised by the amount of coverage the breakup had gotten. “Anything that happens to me is going to be front-page news,” Piggy said. “I’m kind of like the Donald Trump of love, you know. Everything I do is huge.” “And therein lies some of the problem,” Kermit quickly jabbed back. The host then brought up Kermit’s new girlfriend, [Denise](http://time.com/4019616/kermit-pig-new-girlfriend/), which led to a discussion of Piggy’s current love life, her possible future as ABC’s next _Bachelorette and_ her new Tinder profile, created by _Jimmy Kimmel Live_ staff. Her bio is on point, reading: “Looking for guys into style. Let’s get this pig in a blanket.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4044138/kermit-miss-piggy-jimmy-kimmel-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4044138/kermit-miss-piggy-jimmy-kimmel-live/"},"headline":"Watch Kermit and Miss Piggy Awkwardly Discuss Their Breakup","datePublished":"2015-09-22T14:59:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:01.983Z","description":"\"I'm kind of like the Donald Trump of love, you know.
