Jim Carrey made a rare public appearance alongside his longtime girlfriend, Min Ah, at the 2026 César Awards held in France. This event marked one of the few occasions the couple has been seen together publicly, highlighting their relationship as Carrey accepted an award that night.
Jim Carrey and Min Ah’s First Public Appearance Together at the César Awards
At the César Awards in February 2026, Jim Carrey was accompanied by Min Ah, who wore an elegant strapless black gown, while Carrey appeared in a sharp tuxedo. The couple’s appearance drew attention due to its rarity, as they have kept their relationship largely private. Along with Min Ah, Carrey attended with his daughter Jane and grandson Jackson, underscoring the importance of family at the ceremony.
During his acceptance speech, Carrey expressed heartfelt thanks to both his family and his partner.
“Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever,”
Carrey said. He also made a noticeable tribute to Min Ah by calling her his sublime companion and adding,
“Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah. I love you, Min Ah.”
In addition to mentioning his partner and family, Carrey paid homage to his father with the words,
“And finally, thank you to the funniest man I have ever known: my father, Percy Joseph Carrey, who taught me the value of love, generosity, and laughter.”
Understanding the History of Jim Carrey and Min Ah’s Relationship
Though Jim Carrey and Min Ah have maintained a low profile about their relationship, reports and sightings suggest they’ve been together for several years. The earliest public indication came in February 2022, when Carrey was photographed attending Judd Apatow’s benefit comedy show with a woman identified only as Minzi, now confirmed to be Min Ah. Since then, their connection has quietly grown, culminating in the public display at the César Awards.
An Overview of Jim Carrey’s Past Relationships
Before Min Ah, Jim Carrey had a number of well-known relationships. He married Melissa Womer in 1987, the same year they welcomed their daughter, Jane. That marriage ended in 1995, a year before his brief marriage to actress Lauren Holly from 1996 to 1997.
In the late 1990s, Carrey dated Renée Zellweger, describing their relationship fondly despite its end. During his appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2020, Carrey reflected,
“[Renee] was special to me, very special. I think she’s lovely,”
and continued,
“I don’t regret — I don’t have those things. But I do appreciate the people that have come through my life for the good that they gave me … but I don’t pine for anybody, it’s not that kind of situation. It’s just my way of saying, ‘There was a very important thing there,’ and to recognize that.”
Afterward, Carrey was in a relationship with Jenny McCarthy until 2010. McCarthy expressed gratitude for their time together, stating,
“I’m so grateful for the years Jim and I shared together,”
and added,
“I will continue to be in his daughter’s life and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.”
The Role of Family in Jim Carrey’s Life
Jim Carrey is a father to one daughter, Jane, born in 1987 with Melissa Womer. Jane has spoken candidly about growing up with her famous father, sharing during her 2012 American Idol audition,
“It was definitely fun growing up with him as a father,”
and added,
“He’s not the most extravagant celebrity so life’s been fairly normal … fairly. Everyone growing up has their issue with identity and trying to find themselves. It is difficult growing up in the shadow behind something and trying to find your place in the world underneath this huge shadow.”
Jane later became a mother in 2010, welcoming her son Jackson with ex-partner Alex Santana, further extending Carrey’s close-knit family circle. This presence of family was clearly felt during the César Awards, where Carrey’s acknowledgments reflected his deep appreciation and love for his relatives.
