We study theoretically the proximity effect between ferromagnets (F) and superconductors (S) with broken time-reversal symmetry (${\cal T}$). A chiral $(p_x\pm ip_y)$-wave, and a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductor, the latter of which can form ${\cal T}$-breaking surface state, i.e., $(d_{x^2-y^2} \pm is)$-state, are considered for the S side. The spatial variations of the superconducting order parameters and the magnetization are determined by solving the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation. In the case of a chiral $(p_x\pm ip_y)$-wave superconductor, a spontaneous spin current flows along the interface, but not in the case of a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductor. For F/S$(p_x+ip_y)$/F trilayer system, total spin current can be finite while total charge current vanishes, if the magnetization of two F layers are antiparallel.
