In his acceptance speech, Jim publicly acknowledged his ladylove for the first time, calling her his “sublime companion” and declaring his love for her. Amid the buzz around The Mask actor’s current ladylove, his past controversial relationship with Cathriona White has resurfaced.

Who is Cathriona White, Jim Carrey’s ex-girlfriend?

Cathriona White (1985–2015) was an Irish makeup artist, stylist, and aspiring actress. She was once all over the internet due to her high-profile on-and-off relationship with actor, Jim Carrey. Cathriona moved from County Tipperary, Ireland, to Los Angeles in 2009. She worked as a makeup artist and hair stylist on projects such as The Online Gamer (2011–2012), Firefly (2012), and Bunker 731 (2012), according to her IMDb profile. Some reports suggest that she was known to her friends as Little Irish Cat. Cathriona White was allegedly a fan of photography, Irish poetry (especially W.B. Yeats), and Transcendental Meditation.

How did Cathriona White and Jim Carrey’s love story start?

Jim Carrey and Cathriona White’s relationship began in March 2012 after they met on a film set. Cathriona was working in the beauty industry as a makeup artist and photographer when they first crossed paths. Although it is not known whether they immediately started dating or took a few months to reach the point, details of their first public link-up are available. Dating rumours of the Dumb & Dumber actor and Cathriona were sparked when they were spotted in September 2012, walking together on a beach in Malibu.

Cathriona White and Jim Carrey’s split and rekindled romance

After dating for several months, Jim confirmed in March 2013 that he and Cathriona White had ended their relationship. The former couple reunited in early 2015, with sightings of them dining at Katsuya in March and holding hands in New York City in May. The next month, the pair took a vacation to Bancroft, Ontario. Cathriona shared several scenic photos of the trip on Instagram. In September 2015, they were seen together in restaurants and in their social media posts, indicating they were still close. In the same month, Jim Carrey also celebrated her birthday in Malibu, and onlookers noted that they were big on PDA.

Cathriona White and Jim Carrey’s final breakup, followed by her tragic death

Cathriona White and Jim Carrey’s final breakup occurred on September 24, 2015, and just four days later, she was found dead from a prescription d**g overdose in her Los Angeles home. While initial reports and Cathriona’s s**cide note indicated a definitive split, sources close to Jim Carrey later suggested that the couple was merely taking a break at the time. They were even reportedly planning to move in together before the split. The final activity on Cathriona’s phone was a three-minute FaceTime conversation with him on the day of their reported breakup. Jim also sent a text a day before her body was found, asking about missing painkillers.

Cathriona White’s estranged husband and her mother sued Jim Carrey, blaming him for her s**cide

Following Cathriona’s death, her estranged husband, Mark Burton and her mother, Brigid Sweetman, filed lawsuits against Jim, accusing him of being responsible for her death. Mark and Brigid claimed that Jim used his celebrity status to obtain prescription drugs (Ambien, Propranolol, and Percocet) under an alias, Arthur King, and provided them to Cathriona before her 2015 overdose. They also alleged he gave her multiple s**ually transmitted diseases (STDs). The actor denied all the accusations, calling the lawsuit a “heartless attempt to exploit” him.

Jim Carrey’s legal team argued that his late ex-girlfriend had stolen his medication and that the allegations were a “shakedown.” His attorney, Raymond Boucher, provided evidence that Cathriona had forged medical records from 2011 to make it appear she was clean of STDs before meeting him. The court dismissed the suit in 2018, and a few years later, around 2021-22, Jim met the woman he calls his “sublime companion.” He found love, healing, and peace with his current partner, Min Ah (also known as Minzi).
