Jim Carrey just shared a rare and personal update and he did it on an international stage.
While accepting an honorary César Award in Paris on Feb. 26, the 64-year-old actor publicly confirmed he is in a relationship, giving a heartfelt shoutout to his “sublime companion,” Min Ah. According to People, Carrey delivered his acceptance speech entirely in French and made sure to acknowledge the loved ones who joined him for the milestone moment, including his daughter, Jane Erin Carrey, his teenage grandson, Jackson, and Min Ah.
“Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever,” Carrey said during the ceremony. He then added, “Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah. I love you, Min Ah.” He also honored his late father, Percy Joseph Carrey, calling him “the funniest man I have ever known” and crediting him with teaching him about love, generosity and laughter.
A Rare Public Acknowledgment
Carrey has kept his romantic life largely out of the spotlight in recent years, which made the public declaration all the more notable. Min Ah accompanied Carrey to the awards ceremony alongside Jane and Jackson, marking their red carpet debut together.
It is unclear how long the couple has been together. However, Us Weekly noted that Carrey has been linked to Min Ah since 2022, when Just Jared published photos of him leaving a Los Angeles charity comedy show with a woman identified as Minzi, who is believed to be Min Ah.
The French Academy announced in October 2025 that Carrey would receive the Honorary César Award, praising his “exceptional versatility” across film and television. At the end of his speech, Carrey lightened the mood by joking about his French skills. “Forgive me, I didn’t speak French, but I’m just learning it. My tongue is tired,” he said, per a translation.
Looking Back on Love and Life
Carrey has previously been open about his views on relationships. He was married to Melissa Womer from 1987 to 1995, and they share daughter Jane. He later briefly wed his “Dumb and Dumber” co-star Lauren Holly from 1996 to 1997. He also had high-profile relationships with Renée Zellweger and Jenny McCarthy.
In a 2014 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” Carrey said he did not see marriage as necessary, though he admitted he could not predict how he might feel in the future. In 2020, he reflected on past relationships without regret, saying, “I do appreciate the people that have come through my life for the good that they gave me.”
Now, standing onstage in Paris with Min Ah in the audience, Carrey appeared comfortable sharing that appreciation in real time. “I love you, Min Ah.”
