She is an actress and a singer, but perhaps best known for being the daughter of Jim Carrey, a famous Canadian-American actor known from his starring roles in comedy movies such as “Ace Venture: Pet Detective” and “Bruce Almighty”.

Early life and education

Jane was raised as a single child in Los Angeles by Jim and his ex-wife Melissa, who is an actress and film producer – they divorced on 11 December 1995 when Jane was eight, but she stayed in good relations with both of her parents.

Her parents took her on the sets of their movies and TV series, and she soon fell in love with acting. She studied at a public high school where she was a member of the school’s drama club and was appearing in school plays while she was also working on her singing skills, and was a member of the school’s band. Upon matriculation, she didn’t enroll at a college but rather decided to pursue her acting and singing career.

Career as an actress and a singer

She could have been seen on television for the first time in 2002, when she competed in the musical reality show “American Idol” but failing to achieve a notable result; in 2012 she appeared in the show’s eleventh season with the song “Something to Talk About” by Bonnie Raitt when the judges were Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyle, but again failed to make her way to the second round.

She then founded her own The Jane Carrey Band. In-between her appearances in “American Idol”, Jane was working as a waitress to financially support herself.

In 2017, she appeared in the short documentary biographical film “Jim Carrey: I Needed Color” about her father, which was directed by David L. Bushell and which lasted only six minutes. In 2018, she appeared in an episode of the comedy drama series “Kidding”, which stars her father, Frank Langella and Judy Greer, and which follows a man who is trying to stay sane as his family drifts away. The series was nominated for eight awards including two Golden Globes.

Love life and relationships

Jane met Alex Santana during one of his performances, and the two married on 14 November 2009 in a small ceremony attended by only their closest friends and family. Alex is a singer best known for being a member of the metal band Blood Money, which is performing around Los Angeles. Several months before the wedding, Jane told Jim that he was about to become a grandfather and he was thrilled, stating in an interview that he believed Jane will be a great mother. She gave birth to her and Alex’s son Jackson Riley Santana on 29 February 2010, however, by the end of the year Alex and Jane started living separately, and Jane filed for divorce on 20 October 2011 citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

There are rumors circulating the internet that Jane was seeing someone, as some of her fans have stated seeing the two walking hand in hand in the streets of Los Angeles ,but she hasn’t addressed these.

He studied at Blessed Trinity Catholic Elementary School, before moving to Burlington and enrolling at Aldershot High School and later at Agincourt Collegiate Institute. As his family didn’t have enough money, Jim would work together with his brother as janitors, so that they could help their parents financially.
