Previous pairings: Carrey once dated Linda Ronstadt; after divorce from non-pro first wife, married and divorced Lauren Holly in 1998. Zellweger reportedly dated music exec Guy Oseary.
Love story: Carrey has a habit for falling for his leading ladies–he and Zellweger hooked up late in 1999 while filming the Farrelly brothers comedy Me, Myself, & Irene (2000), just like he fell for Holly while filming Dumb and Dumber (1994). Despite the reportedly $200,000 “friendship” ring Carrey gave to Zellweger, the couple announced that they had split up in December 2000, officially citing that “they both wanted different things.”
What went wrong? Both are private about their personal life and kept mum about this breakup. Who can say?

What they’ve said: “She’s absolutely a gem of a human being,” Carrey has said of Zellweger, who has said life with Carrey was “boringly, wonderfully normal.”
