For years, Jim Carrey seemed perfectly comfortable keeping one important part of his life far away from Hollywood’s cameras.
Then, in February 2026, something changed.
Standing onstage at the César Awards in Paris, the famously private actor thanked his daughter Jane and grandson Jackson before turning his attention to a dark-haired woman sitting among his family. He called Min Ah his “sublime companion” and told her publicly that he loved her.
Seven months later, Carrey has taken an even bigger step.
At 64, the star of The Mask, Bruce Almighty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has married Min Ah in a small, private ceremony in Los Angeles, his representative confirmed this week. It is Carrey’s third marriage and his first in nearly 30 years. Los Angeles Times
The Wedding Was Almost as Private as Their Relationship
There was no elaborate celebrity wedding announcement, glossy magazine spread or months-long public engagement.
Instead, Carrey and Min Ah quietly married in Los Angeles.
His representative confirmed that the ceremony was small and private, while additional details — including the exact venue, guest list and what the couple wore — have remained undisclosed. Los Angeles Times
That secrecy feels particularly fitting for this couple.
Although their relationship only became widely known this year, they hadn’t just met.
Carrey and Min Ah had reportedly been seen together as far back as February 2022, when they were photographed leaving a Los Angeles benefit show headlined by Judd Apatow. Exactly when their romance began hasn’t been publicly established. Los Angeles Times
For approximately four years, they managed to keep most of their relationship remarkably far from the spotlight.
Who Is Jim Carrey’s New Wife?
Min Ah — who is also known professionally as Minzi — is an actress and multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles.
Unlike Carrey’s previous famous partners, relatively little about her personal life has been widely documented. Even after their marriage was confirmed, the couple continued to keep most details of their relationship private. People.com
That makes the handful of photographs of them together particularly interesting.
For someone who has spent decades being one of the most recognizable faces in entertainment, Carrey somehow maintained a serious relationship for years without turning it into a public spectacle.
And when he finally did introduce Min Ah publicly, he chose a significant night in his career.
Their February Appearance Changed Everything
On February 26, 2026, Carrey attended the 51st César Awards in Paris to receive an honorary award recognizing his career.
Min Ah joined him.
It marked their first major public appearance as a couple, and she wasn’t sitting alone. Carrey’s daughter Jane and his grandson Jackson were also there.
Then came the speech.
Carrey delivered his remarks in French and thanked his family before acknowledging Min Ah as his companion and declaring his love for her. ABC News
Suddenly, a relationship that had existed quietly for years was public.
Seven months later, she became his wife.
Jim Once Suggested He Might Never Marry Again
The wedding is particularly notable because Carrey hadn’t always sounded enthusiastic about the idea of a third marriage.
After two divorces, the actor had spoken cautiously about ever walking down the aisle again.
In a 2014 interview, he said he couldn’t make absolute rules about his future because someone extraordinary could potentially change his mind — but added that remarriage wasn’t something he would voluntarily pursue at that point. TV Insider
More than a decade later, something clearly changed.
Carrey hasn’t publicly provided a detailed explanation of why he decided marriage was right this time, so it would be speculation to credit Min Ah with “convincing” him.
What is known is simpler: after years together, Carrey chose to marry again.
His First Marriage Began Before He Became a Global Superstar
Long before Ace Ventura turned him into one of Hollywood’s biggest comedy stars, Carrey married actress and former Comedy Store waitress Melissa Womer in 1987.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Jane Erin Carrey, that same year.
Their marriage lasted through Carrey’s rise from struggling comedian to international movie star before ending in divorce in 1995. Los Angeles Times
Jane remained an enormously important part of his life.
She later made Carrey a grandfather when she welcomed her son Jackson, and both Jane and Jackson were beside him in Paris on the night he publicly acknowledged Min Ah.
Then Came Lauren Holly
Carrey’s second marriage was much more closely connected to his Hollywood career.
He and actress Lauren Holly, his costar in Dumb and Dumber, married in 1996.
But the marriage was brief.
They divorced the following year, meaning that by the time Carrey married Min Ah in 2026, nearly three decades had passed since his previous wedding. Los Angeles Times
In the years that followed, his romantic life continued to attract attention.
Some of His Relationships Became Almost as Famous as His Movies
Carrey was linked over the years to several well-known women, including Renée Zellweger and Jenny McCarthy.
His relationship with Zellweger began after they worked together on Me, Myself & Irene. They became engaged but ultimately separated.
Carrey later spent several years with McCarthy before they announced their breakup in 2010. Page Six
There were other relationships, but one would become associated with a particularly painful period in his personal life.
The Death of Cathriona White Marked a Devastating Chapter
Carrey had an on-and-off relationship with Irish makeup artist Cathriona White.
In September 2015, White died at age 30 from an overdose that authorities ruled a suicide.
Her death had a profound impact on Carrey, who publicly mourned her and served as a pallbearer at her funeral in Ireland.
The aftermath also brought painful legal disputes. Wrongful-death lawsuits were filed against Carrey by White’s estranged husband and mother, allegations Carrey denied. The lawsuits were eventually dismissed in 2018.
It remains one of the darkest publicly documented periods of the actor’s personal life.
He Eventually Stepped Away From Hollywood’s Constant Spotlight
Over time, Carrey’s public life changed noticeably.
The man once known for seemingly limitless physical energy in movies like Ace Ventura, The Mask and Liar Liar became increasingly selective about acting.
Painting and art became major creative outlets. He spoke more openly about spirituality, identity and the strange effects of celebrity.
By 2022, Carrey was even talking seriously about retirement from acting, saying he had enough and enjoyed his quieter life.
That same year happens to be when he and Min Ah were first photographed together.
Whether those two developments were connected isn’t publicly known.
But the timeline reveals something striking: one of Carrey’s most private romantic relationships developed during one of the quietest periods of his public life.
Four Years of Almost No Public Couple Photos
This is perhaps the most surprising part of the story.
Carrey and Min Ah appear to have been in each other’s lives for years, yet photographs of them together remained extremely uncommon.
Their 2022 sighting attracted relatively little attention at the time.
Then came a long stretch without the kind of highly public celebrity-couple appearances people might expect from an actor of Carrey’s stature.
No constant red carpets.
No steady stream of romantic social-media posts.
No detailed interviews explaining their relationship.
By the time Min Ah appeared beside him at the César Awards, many fans were learning about her for the first time.
Their Age Difference Has Also Drawn Attention

Predictably, the 32-year age gap has generated online discussion since news of the marriage emerged.
But the couple themselves haven’t made the difference in their ages a public talking point.
Instead, the rare glimpses they’ve offered have focused almost entirely on their relationship itself.
And Carrey’s César speech gave perhaps the clearest indication of how he sees her.
Not simply as the woman accompanying him to an awards ceremony, but as the person he chose to recognize alongside his daughter and grandson during one of the biggest professional honors of his life.
His Daughter and Grandson Were There for Their Public Debut
That family detail makes the César photographs particularly meaningful.
Carrey wasn’t introducing Min Ah during an ordinary Hollywood date night.
Jane and Jackson were part of the occasion too.
In his acceptance speech, Carrey thanked all three of them, telling Jane and Jackson that he loved them before turning to Min Ah. ABC News
Those images now carry an entirely different significance.
At the time, they were among the first photographs showing Carrey’s mysterious longtime partner publicly.
Today, they’re some of the earliest widely seen photographs of his future wife.
Jim Carrey Is Entering a Very Different Chapter at 64
There is an enormous distance between the Jim Carrey audiences first fell in love with and the man who quietly married Min Ah.
In the 1990s, his life seemed almost impossibly fast.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber all arrived in 1994 alone. Batman Forever, Liar Liar, The Truman Show and Man on the Moon followed.
His expressions were everywhere. His movies made hundreds of millions of dollars. His personal relationships became tabloid material.
Today, Carrey’s life appears much more deliberately private.
He still acts — including his recent appearances as Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic the Hedgehog films — but Hollywood no longer seems to occupy every corner of his identity.
And somehow, amid that quieter chapter, he built a relationship that remained mostly hidden in plain sight.
Two Rare Photographs Tell Much of Their Story
For fans curious about the woman Carrey married, there isn’t an enormous photographic archive to explore.
That’s precisely what makes the existing images so fascinating.
One set of RARE PHOTOS takes the story back to 2022, when Carrey and Min Ah were spotted together years before most people knew they were a couple.
The other major set comes from Paris in February 2026 — Min Ah dressed elegantly beside Carrey as he received one of the most significant honors of his career.
At the time, he finally gave their relationship words.
Seven months later, they quietly gave it vows.
After two marriages, decades of public romances, tremendous professional success and deeply painful personal losses, Jim Carrey has begun another chapter at 64.
And in a way that feels perfectly consistent with the man he has become, he did it without a spectacle.
He simply got married. People.com
