The romance between actors Renée Zellweger and Jim Carrey, which began on the set of "Me, Myself & Irene" in 1999, is remembered fondly by Carrey as his "last great love." Although their relationship spanned just over a year and concluded in 2000, it made a significant impact.
Their connection started with Carrey being immediately smitten, while Zellweger took time to develop feelings. A charming anecdote from their time together involves Zellweger's colleagues at a London publishing internship believing she was odd for keeping a Carrey photo, only realizing her identity later.
Publicists confirmed their split in late 2000, citing different desires. Carrey reflected two decades later that Zellweger was special and he appreciated the good she brought to his life, highlighting her grounding influence. Zellweger also spoke of his absence being significant after their film wrapped.
