Her parents filed for a divorce in 1995 when she was barely eight years old, and so she moved in with her mother; nonetheless, she maintained a close relationship with her dad.

Before she began her singing career, Jane landed a job as a waitress, and used her earnings to support her family.

Jane made her career debut in 2002, when she auditioned for the eleventh season of the musical reality TV show “American Idol.” The competition took place at Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California, and was judged by Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.
The judges didn’t find her cover of the song “Something to Talk About” satisfactory, so she failed to make it to the second and live round. Jane is credited for appearing in the 2017 biographical documentary movie about her father “Jim Carrey: I Needed Color,” directed by David Bushnell. In the year that followed, she was seen in an episode of the Golden Globe Award-nominated drama “Kidding,” alongside her father, Judy Greer and Frank Langella.

Who is Jane Erin Carrey’s Father, Jim Carrey?
J. Eugene Carrey was born in Ontario, Canada, on 17 January 1962 (60 years old), to Kathleen and her husband musician Percy Carrey, the last-born, was raised with his brother John Carrey and sisters Rita and Patricia. Jim attended Blessed Trinity Catholic Elementary, and later joined Aldershot High before he matriculated to Agincourt Collegiate Institute.
His family wasn’t financially stable, so he worked as a janitor together with his brother, to support their parents. He grew up passionate about comedy and films. When he attained the age of 18, he began performing stand-up comedy in Toronto, and subsequently auditioned for roles in various projects. He caught the public’s attention when he landed roles in the comedy films “Dumb and Dumber” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” in 1994, and has since featured in many award-winning productions.
Some of his prominent performances are in projects such as 1996’s “The Cable Guy,” “The Truman Show” in 1998 – which saw him receive a Golden Globe Award – and “Yes Man” in 2008, among others. After Jim and Jane’s mum called it quits, he tied the knot with the Canadian actress Lauren Holly, but divorced her one year later. He then became engaged to Renee Zellweger in 1999, but their relationship was also short-lived. Subsequently, he dated American model and actress Jenny McCarthy (2005-2010) and later actress Ginger Gonzaga from January 2019, but is still single.
