Jim Carrey’s Daughter, Jane Erin Carrey: Her Age And Height?
Born on September 6, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, Jane Erin is 37 years old as of 2024. Carrey, with brown eyes and brown hair, has a height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m).
When she was born, her father, Jim, was 25, while her mother, Melissa Womer, was 27. Her mom is two years older than her dad.
Thanks to her parents, she has dual nationality: American-Canadian, and a mixed ethnicity (French, Irish, and Scottish ancestry).
Throughout her childhood, Jane’s actor father kept her mainly off the spotlight. Despite that, she would join him in a few red carpet moments, including the 1995 Footprint Ceremony at Los Angeles’ Mann’s Chinese Theatre.
Jane Erin’s Parents Divorced In 1994: Love Story & Its Ending
Carrey’s father, James Eugene Carrey, and her mother, Melissa Womer, met in 1986 at a comedy store- it was an instant connection for both. Then, on March 28, 1987, they married at a hotel in Santa Monica, California.
At that time, the ‘Liar Liar’ actor was not famous and earned $25 a night from comedy gigs.
So, Womer supported him by working two jobs throughout the trimester of her pregnancy (Jane was in the womb). They became parents after six months of their wedding.
But by the early 1990s, with Carrey’s sudden rise to fame through the film “The Mask”, things began to complicate. According to Melissa, Jim was leaving out his familiar duties due to his stardom, eventually leading to their split.
Her father filed for divorce with her mom on November 1, 1993, after six years of marriage, which was finalized in 1995. As reported, the two had separated five months earlier before the filing.
Her father later married actress Lauren Holly on September 23, 1996, but divorced after ten months on July 29, 1997.

What Does Jane Erin Carrey Do?
Jim’s daughter, Jane Erin Carrey, has switched to a private life and there is no telling what she does for a living currently. Back in the day, she reportedly used to work as a waitress.
Unlike her dad, she didn’t get a high fly in the acting industry- in fact, she doesn’t have any credit as an actress. According to IMDB, Jane has a soundtrack credit for the 2014 movie Dumb and Dumber To, and was a playback singer in Carrey’s 2017 short Jim Carrey: I Needed Color.
Auditioned In ‘American Idol’
In 2012, Jane auditioned for Season 11 of American Idol, where Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, and Jennifer Lopez were on the judges’ panel.
In her American Idol interview, she even stated that the urge to escape her father’s fame and create her own legacy led her to the show.
Her song, “Something to Talk About” got a ticket to the live auditions. She even immediately called her father to share the exciting news. However, she was eliminated in the opening week of the live auditions.
Vocalist Of Her Own Band
Carrey used to perform with her alternate rock band, The Jane Carrey Band. They released their self-titled debut album in 2009. Jane’s band took a brief break when she went for the American Idol and later returned.
