Jim Carrey has spent much of his life making millions of people laugh, but when it came to one of the biggest decisions of his personal life, there was no Hollywood spectacle.
At 64, the The Mask and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind star has married his longtime partner Min Ah in a small, private ceremony in Los Angeles. Carrey’s representative confirmed the marriage, which marks his third trip down the aisle and his first marriage in nearly three decades. People.com
What makes the news particularly surprising is how little the public knew about the relationship until recently. Carrey and Min Ah had been photographed together years earlier, but they did not make their official awards-show debut as a couple until February 2026.
Seven months later, they were husband and wife.
The Wedding Was Intentionally Small
Carrey and Min Ah chose Los Angeles for their wedding, but almost everything else about the ceremony remains private.
His representative described it as a small, private ceremony. No official guest list, exact wedding date, venue, wedding photographs or details about their clothes have been released publicly. Los Angeles Times
That absence of information isn’t particularly surprising considering how the pair have handled their relationship from the beginning.
They haven’t spent the past several years documenting their romance on social media or appearing together at every premiere. Even after becoming publicly known as a couple, they offered remarkably little insight into their private life.
In other words, their wedding appears to have followed the same rule as their relationship: keep what matters most between themselves.
The Public Only Really Met Min Ah Seven Months Ago
On February 26, Carrey traveled to Paris for the César Awards, where he received an honorary César recognizing his career.
Min Ah was beside him.
So were two other people particularly important to Carrey: his daughter Jane and grandson Jackson.
During his acceptance speech, Carrey thanked his family before turning his attention to Min Ah. He described her as his “sublime companion” and publicly told her he loved her. ABC News
For many fans, it was their first introduction to the mysterious dark-haired woman sitting beside him.
Few could have known that the next major update about the couple would be a wedding.
But Their Story Actually Goes Back Years
Their César appearance wasn’t the beginning of the relationship.
Carrey and Min Ah had been seen together as early as 2022, when they were photographed during a night out in Los Angeles. The exact date they began dating has never been publicly established. TMZ
That means they successfully kept much of their relationship outside the celebrity-news cycle for years.
For an actor as internationally recognizable as Carrey, that’s no small accomplishment.
Who Is Min Ah?
Min Ah, also known as Minzi, is an actress and multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Unlike her new husband, she has maintained a comparatively low public profile. People.com
And even after becoming Mrs. Carrey, she remains somewhat mysterious.
There aren’t years of interviews detailing their romance. There isn’t a huge collection of couple photographs. There haven’t been public discussions about how they met, their first date or the moment they decided to marry.
What is known is that Min Ah has apparently been part of Carrey’s life for several years — long before he chose to introduce their relationship publicly.
That makes the handful of photographs that do exist especially fascinating.
Their Rare César Photos Now Have a Different Meaning
The images taken in Paris in February initially attracted attention simply because Carrey appeared to be introducing a previously little-known partner.
Looking at them now, they tell a different story.
Min Ah stood beside Carrey during one of the biggest honors of his career, wearing a strapless dark gown and statement necklace as he accepted his award.
Carrey’s daughter Jane was there too.
The three were photographed together, giving fans a rare glimpse into a side of the actor’s life he generally keeps private.
Seven months later, those photographs have effectively become the first major public images of Carrey with the woman who would become his third wife.
Marriage Was Once Something Jim Wasn’t Sure He Wanted Again
That’s another reason this wedding represents such an important change.
Carrey had already experienced two marriages by the time he was in his mid-30s.
Years later, he spoke openly about being reluctant to marry again. In a 2014 interview, he indicated that remarriage wasn’t something he was actively seeking, although he left room for the possibility that meeting an extraordinary person could change things. Recent coverage of his marriage has resurfaced those comments. InStyle
More than a decade later, he has indeed chosen marriage again.
Carrey hasn’t publicly explained exactly what changed his mind, and it would be unfair to invent a romantic explanation on his behalf.
What we do know is that after several years with Min Ah, he decided to make her his wife.
His First Marriage Came Before His Biggest Hollywood Success
Carrey’s romantic history stretches back to before he became one of the world’s highest-paid movie stars.
He married Melissa Womer in 1987.
That same year, the couple welcomed their daughter, Jane Erin Carrey.
Their marriage therefore spanned Carrey’s extraordinary transition from working comedian to Hollywood phenomenon.
By the early 1990s, his career exploded.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber all arrived in 1994, transforming him into an international star almost overnight.
But his first marriage ended in 1995. ABC News
Then He Married His Dumb and Dumber Costar
In 1996, Carrey married actress Lauren Holly, whom audiences knew as his costar in Dumb and Dumber.
Their marriage proved considerably shorter than his first.
They divorced in 1997. ABC News
For almost three decades after that, Carrey never married again.
There were serious relationships and highly publicized romances, but no third wedding.
Until Min Ah.
His Love Life Included Several Famous Names
As Carrey’s career grew, his relationships inevitably became tabloid material.
He was famously involved with Renée Zellweger after they worked together on Me, Myself & Irene. Their relationship became serious enough for an engagement, but the pair eventually separated.
He later had a long relationship with Jenny McCarthy before they split in 2010.
Years later, he dated actress Ginger Gonzaga, his costar on Kidding. That relationship ended in 2019, according to recent profiles looking back at Carrey’s romantic history. People.com
Then Min Ah quietly entered his life.
Carrey Also Lived Through Profound Personal Loss
Not every chapter of his romantic history was simply a breakup.
Carrey had an on-and-off relationship with Irish makeup artist Cathriona White, who died in 2015 at age 30. Her death was ruled a suicide.
Carrey publicly mourned White and served as a pallbearer at her funeral in Ireland.
Legal disputes followed her death, with wrongful-death lawsuits filed against the actor. Carrey denied the allegations against him, and the cases were later dismissed.
It was an extraordinarily painful and public period in the life of someone who had increasingly begun withdrawing from the Hollywood spotlight.
The Jim Carrey of Today Is Very Different From the Man of the 1990s
During Carrey’s extraordinary run in the 1990s, almost everything about him seemed enormous.
The performances were enormous.
The facial expressions were enormous.
The box-office numbers were enormous.
So was the attention surrounding his personal life.
But as he grew older, Carrey increasingly turned inward. Painting became an important part of his life. He spoke more about spirituality and became more selective about acting.
In 2022, he even suggested that he was considering retirement, saying he enjoyed his quieter life. Recent reporting notes that his shift away from constant Hollywood exposure coincided with the period when Min Ah was first being seen with him. People.com
That doesn’t mean one caused the other.
But it does help explain how a relationship involving one of Hollywood’s most famous comedians could remain surprisingly private.
Even Their Age Difference Has Become Part of the Conversation
Min Ah has been widely reported as being 32, making her approximately 32 years younger than Carrey. InStyle
The age difference has inevitably attracted online discussion since the wedding became public.
Neither Carrey nor Min Ah has made it a focus of their own public comments.
Their most prominent public moment remains Carrey’s César speech — and what he chose to emphasize that night wasn’t age, celebrity or appearances.
It was affection.
His Daughter Was There When He Finally Introduced His Partner
One detail from the César Awards becomes particularly sweet in retrospect.
Jane Carrey wasn’t watching her father introduce his new relationship from afar.
She was right there.
So was Carrey’s grandson Jackson.
Carrey thanked Jane and Jackson during his speech before acknowledging Min Ah, placing the three together in one of the most personal moments of the evening. ABC News
For someone who has guarded his private life carefully in recent years, choosing to acknowledge Min Ah alongside his closest family members felt significant even before anyone knew a wedding was coming.
There Are Surprisingly Few Photos of Jim and His New Wife
That’s where their story differs sharply from many celebrity romances.
Search through Carrey’s public life and you’ll find thousands upon thousands of photographs.
There are pictures from The Mask. Photographs with Lauren Holly. Images from his relationship with Jenny McCarthy. Red carpets with Renée Zellweger. Decades of premieres, interviews and awards ceremonies.
With Min Ah, there are only a handful of widely circulated moments.
That scarcity is what makes their RARE PHOTOS particularly revealing.
There are the early images from 2022, taken years before most fans knew who she was.
Then there are the elegant Paris photographs from February 2026, when Min Ah finally appeared publicly beside Carrey.
And now there is a marriage.
What We Still Don’t Know About Their Wedding
Despite headlines promising that all the details of the ceremony have emerged, the truth is much simpler: most of the wedding remains private.
Carrey’s representative has confirmed the important part — the couple married in a small ceremony in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Times
But no official wedding photographs have been released as of October 2.
We don’t know exactly where they exchanged vows.
We don’t know what Min Ah wore.
We don’t have a confirmed complete guest list.
And the couple hasn’t given an interview explaining their decision.
That may eventually change.
Or perhaps it won’t.
Considering how carefully they protected their relationship for years, keeping the ceremony itself to themselves may have been exactly what they wanted.
At 64, Jim Carrey Has Started a Completely New Chapter
For longtime fans, the story carries a strange sense of symmetry.
Carrey was 35 when his second marriage ended.
He is now 64.
Between those two points came some of the greatest professional achievements of his career, several important relationships, fatherhood and grandfatherhood, painful loss, a retreat from fame and an increasingly private life.
Then came Min Ah.
First, almost unnoticed in photographs from 2022.
Then beside him in Paris.
Then acknowledged publicly as his “sublime companion.”
And now, his wife.
The man who once wasn’t sure he wanted to marry again has walked down the aisle for a third time — but unlike the Jim Carrey of Hollywood’s most frantic years, he did it almost entirely away from the cameras.
Perhaps that’s the most revealing detail of all.
For a performer who built his career by making sure everyone was watching him, one of the happiest milestones of his life appears to be something he wanted to keep almost entirely for himself. People.com
