Jim Carrey has spent decades making millions of people laugh, but one of the biggest developments in his personal life happened almost entirely away from the cameras.
At 64, the Mask and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind star has married for the third time.
Carrey recently tied the knot with his longtime partner, actress and artist Min Ah, in a small private ceremony in Los Angeles. A representative for the actor confirmed the marriage on September 30, 2026, although details including the exact wedding date, venue and guest list have remained private. People.com
The marriage came as a surprise largely because Carrey and Min Ah managed to keep their relationship remarkably quiet for years.
In fact, many fans only learned that Carrey was seriously involved with someone when Min Ah accompanied him to one of the biggest nights of his career earlier this year.
But RARE PHOTOS reveal that their story actually stretches back much further.
They Were Seen Together Years Before Going Public
Carrey and Min Ah’s first major appearance as an official couple came at the César Awards in Paris on February 26, 2026.
Yet photographs place them together as far back as February 2022.
They were photographed outside Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles after attending a benefit comedy show headlined by Judd Apatow. At the time, however, Carrey never launched the relationship publicly or began sharing details about his new partner. Los Angeles Times
That discretion continued for years.
Even now, the exact date their relationship began has not been publicly confirmed.
Min Ah, also known professionally as Minzi, is an actress and multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Unlike Carrey, whose face has been recognizable around the world since the 1990s, she has maintained a considerably lower public profile. People.com
That made their February appearance in Paris all the more significant.
For years, the pair had been photographed only rarely.
Then Carrey stood onstage and effectively removed any remaining ambiguity about how important she had become to him.
His Emotional Declaration in Paris
Carrey traveled to Paris to receive an Honorary César celebrating his decades-long contribution to cinema.
He delivered his acceptance speech in French.
His daughter Jane and grandson Jackson were among the family members he acknowledged from the stage.
Then came Min Ah.

It was a remarkably open declaration from an actor who had become increasingly guarded about his romantic life.
RARE PHOTOS from the ceremony captured Carrey and Min Ah together on the red carpet, offering many fans their first real look at the woman who had apparently been beside him quietly for years.
Only seven months later, they were husband and wife.
A Wedding Almost Nobody Saw Coming
The wedding itself followed the same pattern as their relationship: intimate and deliberately private.
Carrey’s representative confirmed that the couple married in a small ceremony in Los Angeles. Beyond that, very little has been disclosed publicly. ABC News
There was no enormous celebrity wedding announcement.
No elaborate social-media reveal.
No highly publicized engagement period.
The world essentially learned that Jim Carrey had gotten married after the wedding had already happened.
For someone who spent much of his adult life as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable performers, that level of privacy is noteworthy.
And it also reflects the direction Carrey’s life has taken over the past several years.
He Once Suggested Marriage Might Be Behind Him
The fact that Carrey chose to marry again carries another layer of significance.
More than a decade ago, he sounded skeptical about ever walking down the aisle again.
When asked about marriage in a 2014 interview, Carrey explained that he did not expect to voluntarily pursue it again, although he deliberately left himself one escape clause: he couldn’t know what might happen if he met someone extraordinary. InStyle
Years later, that possibility apparently became reality.
Min Ah is now Carrey’s third wife.
And getting there followed a complicated romantic history stretching back almost four decades.
His First Marriage and Becoming a Father
Carrey’s first marriage came long before Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber transformed him into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
He married Melissa Womer in 1987.
That same year, they welcomed their daughter, Jane Erin Carrey.
Their marriage lasted through the earliest stages of his career and much of his spectacular rise to fame before ending in divorce in 1995. Los Angeles Times
Jane later made Carrey a grandfather when she welcomed her son Jackson in 2010.
Family remains an important part of Carrey’s life, something made particularly visible during his César speech when he publicly thanked both Jane and Jackson before turning his attention to Min Ah. Reuters Connect
His Second Marriage Lasted Less Than a Year
Carrey’s second marriage came almost immediately after his first divorce.
He married actress Lauren Holly in 1996.
The two had worked together on Dumb and Dumber, with Holly playing Mary Swanson opposite Carrey’s unforgettable Lloyd Christmas.
Their marriage, however, was brief.
They separated and divorced the following year. Los Angeles Times
After that, Carrey never married again for nearly three decades.
There were significant relationships, including romances with Renée Zellweger and Jenny McCarthy, but none ultimately resulted in another marriage. Los Angeles Times
That long gap is part of what makes his decision to marry Min Ah particularly notable.
Love, Loss and a Much Quieter Jim Carrey
Carrey’s romantic life over the decades included both highly public relationships and profound personal loss.
He was engaged to Renée Zellweger around the turn of the millennium after they met while making Me, Myself & Irene. He later had a lengthy relationship with Jenny McCarthy, which ended in 2010. Page Six
He also had an on-and-off relationship with Cathriona White, who died in 2015.
The years that followed saw Carrey increasingly turn inward.
Painting became an important creative outlet. He spoke openly about spirituality, identity and his changing relationship with fame.
By 2022, he was even publicly contemplating stepping away from acting.
Carrey said at the time that he had “enough” and enjoyed his quiet life, painting and spiritual existence.
It was around that same period that he was first photographed with Min Ah.
The contrast is striking.
The Jim Carrey who began this relationship was no longer the thirty-something superstar racing from one enormous comedy to another.
He was entering a different stage of life.
And Min Ah appears to have become part of that quieter world.
Who Is Min Ah?
Despite suddenly becoming the wife of one of the world’s best-known actors, Min Ah remains somewhat mysterious publicly.
She is reportedly 32 and works as an actress and artist in Los Angeles. Some reporting describes her as a multidisciplinary artist and notes that she also works under the name Minzi. People.com
But compared with many celebrity relationships, remarkably little is known about her private life.
That appears to be intentional.
Carrey and Min Ah did not spend the early years of their relationship documenting themselves publicly. Their appearances together were so infrequent that the February César Awards became major celebrity news simply because they were finally standing together openly as a couple.
Even after marrying, they have not released extensive details about their ceremony.
The result is something unusual in modern Hollywood: a celebrity relationship that existed for years without becoming a continuous public storyline.
Their Age Difference Has Drawn Attention
Carrey is 64, while Min Ah has been reported as 32.
The age difference has inevitably become part of coverage surrounding their marriage. InStyle
Yet neither Carrey nor Min Ah has publicly centered their relationship around the subject.
Instead, the limited glimpses they have offered have focused on affection and companionship.
The most revealing public moment remains Carrey’s César speech.
Standing before an audience honoring his life’s work, he chose to thank Min Ah alongside his daughter and grandson.
Seven months later, news emerged that they had quietly married.
The Rare Photos Tell Their Own Story
Because Carrey and Min Ah kept their romance so private, the relatively small number of photographs documenting their relationship have suddenly taken on new significance.
RARE PHOTOS from 2022 show them together years before Carrey publicly introduced Min Ah as his partner.
Then come the dramatically different images from Paris in February 2026.
Carrey, dressed formally for one of Europe’s most prestigious film ceremonies, stands beside Min Ah as he accepts an honorary award celebrating a career spanning decades.
Those images now capture something more than a red-carpet debut.
They represent one of the only public glimpses of the relationship shortly before the couple married.
And when placed beside photographs from Carrey’s earlier marriages and relationships, they reveal just how much his life has changed.
The young comedian who married Melissa Womer in 1987 was still fighting to establish himself.
The superstar who married Lauren Holly in 1996 was at the height of one of the most explosive rises Hollywood had ever seen.
The man marrying Min Ah three decades later is in a completely different stage of life.
From Hollywood’s Wildest Comic to a Private Newlywed
Carrey’s career has always contained extraordinary contrasts.
He became famous by being enormous.
The elastic face. The physical comedy. The outrageous voices. The manic energy of Ace Ventura.
In 1994 alone, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber turned him into an international phenomenon.
Then came Liar Liar, The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, Bruce Almighty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
But as he grew older, Carrey increasingly seemed interested in something other than constantly maintaining the Jim Carrey persona.
His public appearances became less frequent.
His painting became more visible.
His interviews became increasingly philosophical.
And his romantic life almost disappeared from celebrity headlines.
That is the version of Carrey who apparently built a relationship with Min Ah.
Not entirely outside fame—something almost impossible for a star of his stature—but largely outside the machinery of celebrity publicity.
A Third Marriage Nearly 30 Years After His Second
The numbers alone make the moment striking.
Carrey married Lauren Holly in 1996.
His marriage to Min Ah arrives roughly three decades later.
Between those two weddings came some of his biggest films, multiple relationships, becoming a grandfather, periods of grief, an evolving artistic career and a retreat from the relentless pace of Hollywood.
Now, at 64, he has chosen marriage again.
The exact details of the ceremony remain their own.
No lavish photographs have been officially released.
No extensive account of the wedding has emerged.
What has been confirmed is simple: Jim Carrey and Min Ah are husband and wife after marrying privately in Los Angeles. People.com
And perhaps the biggest clue to what changed Carrey’s mind was given by the actor himself years before he ever met her.
He once suggested he couldn’t make absolute rules about his future because the right person might come along.
For almost 30 years after his second marriage ended, Carrey didn’t marry again.
Then came Min Ah.
The woman the public barely knew existed became the “sublime companion” he declared his love for from a Paris stage—and, only months later, his third wife.
For a performer who built a career around being impossible to ignore, one of the most important chapters of his private life unfolded remarkably quietly.
