Jenny McCarthy Reveals Details About Jim Carrey Break Up

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 27th 2010 07:05PM

Hollywood was shocked earlier this year when funnyman Jim Carrey and funny lady Jenny McCarthy announced they were breaking up--and for the first time since the split, McCarthy is sharing some insight into what happened.

The Playboy model-turned-actress-turned-author discusses the relationship on an episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' that airs Tuesday, PEOPLE reports.

McCarthy visits Oprah's couch to discuss her latest book, 'Love, Lust and Faking It,' and while there, is asked what happened with Carrey. "Tell me, when did you know it was over?" Winfrey asks.

McCarthy candidly answers, "You know, the simple word I can give – and there's a few, so let me say a few. The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship."

Winfrey asks if reconciliation is possible. "Okay, I'm gonna ask this ... Just because I have to ... Any chance you'll get back together, do you think?"

"God, another good question," replies McCarthy.

"That's sort of a simple one," Winfrey says. McCarthy responds, "I know. I didn't even think about that one, though."

McCarthy also reveals that even though they announced the breakup in April, the couple had split weeks before. "When celebrities break up, usually when people find out about it, it happened way earlier. No matter what, your heart still needs to mend. ...So I feel like we really had some time to... heal a little bit."

During the interview, McCarthy insists to the talk show host that she didn't lose her own identity while dating Carrey. "My identification wasn't caught up [in] being a celebrity's ... girlfriend," she said.

When pressed by Oprah whether she is sure, she continues, "Absolutely. I did check on that, by the way. I checked into myself. How does my ego feel? ... My ego's fine. I'm a warrior mom. I always got back on my feet, and I know especially this year who I am."

Did anyone understand what she was saying in this article or did the journalist just mess up so bad in writing it? I think she was saying there was no chance of them reconciling, but it really is vague. I think Jim just doesn't play well with others over the long term. I also believe that if all your looking for is "fun", you should join a fraternity where you can party and not worry about others well being and mental state.I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agegapsingl es.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..

She is weird, strange and nutty. He's admitted he's bipolar. At least these two didn't breed.

By the way, the fact that there was no more "fun" in the relationship speaks volumes about her maturity level.

By LOL

When it's no fun anymore you have to start evaluating the relationship? I think she's beautiful and could really never picture Scary Carrey on top or in any other position with her. With that in mind, was it ever any fun?

By Angel

Fun, huh? That is the extent and depth of relationships is the level of fun? Wow

A real relationship is not going to be "fun" everyday. If you really love someone you will always be able to weather the ups and downs of life together if you are both in it for the long haul.

But if you are just looking for constant fun or entertainment, then your relationship is not built to last.

By bobsaget

What a riveting, insightful article....she's like a present day Einstein..

By Sadie

I hear he is a fun and funny guy but that he has some "problems". 5 years is a long time. My guess is that she did all she could then finally had to get out..just my opinion.

By Arthur

What's wrong with Careys judgement? You can look at these couples and know it ain't gonna work.Playboy model? Sure ,the mother of your children. LOL Stay single if you have money . You can buy anyone who is looking for money. it's not worth the risk to marry for LOVE. These women are trickey.

It's not his son

By bsti

I'm guessing Jim must have quite a Johnson. But after 5 years she probably needed to find a little more friction. She'll probably find some black guy next. I mean it sounds like it was such a meaninful relationship?
