Jim Carrey publicly acknowledged his secret girlfriend, Min Ah, during the 2026 Cesar Awards held in France on February 26. The 64-year-old actor surprised many when he mentioned his “sublime companion” in his acceptance speech and was seen holding her hand after the event, revealing a relationship that has remained private for over four years.
Introducing Min Ah: The Woman Behind Jim Carrey’s Privacy
Min Ah, sometimes called Minzi, has kept a low profile despite her relationship with the famous actor. Identified as a Los Angeles-area actress and artist, Min Ah first appeared with Jim Carrey in 2022 after attending a charity comedy show hosted by Judd Apatow at Largo at the Coronet in LA. Beyond this glimpse, little is publicly known about her career or personal life.
Jim Carrey and Min Ah’s Public Appearance Together
Their debut as a couple in the public eye occurred at the Cesar Awards, where Jim Carrey was honored for his outstanding contributions to international cinema. The pair was captured holding hands as Jim accepted his award. During his speech, delivered entirely in French, he paid tribute to his daughter Jane, grandson Jackson, and, notably, Min Ah.
Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever. Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah,
Jim Carrey said.
I love you, Min Ah. 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.
Marriage Status and Jim Carrey’s Views on Tying the Knot
Jim Carrey and Min Ah do not appear to be married. Reflecting on his past experiences, Jim has expressed his reluctance toward marriage following two previous marriages that ended in divorce. In a 2014 interview on The Howard Stern Show, he called marriage unnecessary and explained his hesitations about committing again.
I just don’t see it as necessary,
Carrey stated.
I can’t say that I know how I would feel if I meet somebody that knocks my head off. I can’t make hard, fast rules about the future. But I wouldn’t voluntarily go that way.
A Look Back at Jim Carrey’s Past Relationships
Jim Carrey’s romantic history includes several high-profile relationships. His first marriage was to Melissa Womer in 1987 after they met at a comedy store, and they had daughter Jane together before divorcing in 1995. Shortly thereafter, he married his “Dumb and Dumber” co-star Lauren Holly in 1996, but the marriage ended within a year.
In the late 1990s, Carrey dated Renee Zellweger, whom he met during the filming of “Me, Myself & Irene.” Although their relationship lasted about a year, Jim has spoken warmly about her. In 2020, he described her as “special” and “lovely.”
From 2005 to 2010, he was in a relationship with Jenny McCarthy. They publicly ended their partnership via Twitter, and Jenny later shared sentiments of gratitude for their time together.
I’m so grateful for the years Jim and I shared together. I will continue to be in his daughter’s life and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.
Jenny McCarthy remarked.
Carrey himself reflected on his past without regrets, appreciating the people who impacted his life positively while making clear he does not dwell on former relationships.
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,
he told Howard Stern.
But I don’t pine for anybody, it’s not that kind of situation,
he added.
It’s just my way of saying, ‘There was a very important thing there,’ and to recognize that.
Family Life: Daughter Jane and Grandchildren
Jim Carrey’s daughter Jane, whom he had with Melissa Womer, has largely avoided the limelight but pursued a career in entertainment. Jane gained attention in 2012 when she auditioned for American Idol, earning three affirmative votes from judges including Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, and Jennifer Lopez after performing Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About.”
She’s so wonderful and amazing, so I can’t wait for the world to understand what she has to offer,
Jim said after Jane called to share the news of her successful audition.
Though Jane did not advance past Hollywood Week, she formed The Jane Carrey Band, which released a self-titled album in 2009 but has been inactive since 2012. Jane is also a mother of three children: Jackson with her ex-husband Alex Santana, as well as Erin and Logan from her marriage to Chase Bordelon.
