Jim Carrey & Lauren Holly — 9 Months


Jim Carrey always makes us laugh, but it appears he failed to engage Lauren Holly fully. The two met during the auditions for the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and they rang the wedding bells on September 23, 1996. The wedding was low-key and held on top of a mountain. This was only a year after Jim ended their marriage. They got separated on June 25, 1997, nine months after the wedding.

According to Holly, she was actually with Jim for years, but most people didn’t realize. People think their marriage was short but they were together for a quite long time. In the court, Holly cited the usual “irreconcilable differences”. She also wanted Jim to pay spousal support and attorney fees. Early in the relationship, when Jim was asked if Lauren was only after his wealth, he replied that he did not believe so. He probably had to retract that statement later on.
