The Real Reason Jim Carrey Divorced His First Wife

Jim Carrey's relationships never lasted for long after his first divorce. Following his nine month marriage to Lauren Holly, Carrey has not remarried. Renee Zellweger, whom Carrey referred to in his semi-autobiographical book Memoirs and Misinformation as "his last great love," perhaps came the closest to being the third Mrs. Carrey, as they were engaged from 1999 to 2000. After that, Carrey mostly enjoyed casual relationships until he began dating Jenny McCarthy in 2005.

During Carrey's five-year relationship with McCarthy, he appeared to have nixed future marriages for good, telling Access Hollywood in 2007 that he and McCarthy "are never getting married, but we're never getting divorced, which is fantastic." Indeed, the pair publicly announced a split in 2010 via Twitter, but apparently remained amicable. In her tweet, McCarthy said she "will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart," while Carrey shared, "I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best!"

Carrey's next serious relationship ended in tragedy and scandal, when his girlfriend Cathriona White tragically committed suicide in 2015, and White's estranged husband and mother sued Carrey for wrongful death (a case which was later dismissed). As of this writing, Carrey is not publicly dating anyone, having called it quits with his most recent girlfriend, Kidding costar Ginger Gonzaga, in 2019 after just a year of dating.
