It is no secret that the actor and comedian Jim Carrey loves his daughter to the moon and back. He and his ex-wife, Melissa Womer, welcomed their only child on September 6, 1987, in Los Angeles, California.
Jim and Melissa walked down the aisle in 1987, the same year that Jane was born. Sadly, the couple could not keep their marriage stable and they ended up going separate ways in 1995.

Melissa was an aspiring actress when she and Jim first met. She was working as a waitress in the Comedy Store in Los Angeles where Jim did stand-up comedy. Sparks flew between them when they got to know each other, but their marriage wasn't all rainbows and butterflies.
Jim went on to marry actress Lauren Hall the following year. As for Melissa, she didn't tie the knot with someone else after Jim and her separated.

THE APPLE OF HER PARENTS' EYES

"I’m excited about it because I never really got along with girls growing up. I was a little afraid that if it was a girl that she would not like me, you know? So I’m very happy about the boy."
