Jim Carrey Finally Ready for New Romance  2/23/07

Actor and comedian Jim Carrey met Jenny McCarthy at a good time - he had finally worked through a lot of his insecurities.

The Bruce Almighty star has a child from his first marriage, is divorced from actress Lauren Holly and was also engaged to Renee Zellweger.

But Carrey claims he met McCarthy at a convenient moment, insisting, "I'm more ready to be loved than I have been in my life.

"Jen's a sweetheart and really wonderful and deeper than people know. I had the feeling a lot of times when I was in relationships before that I hadn't become a complete person on my own.

"I was hiding and going, 'I need you to fill in the puzzle' and that's not what love is. That's dysfunctional love to me."

Carrey insists the couple are committed to each other, but claims they don't need to be married to show how they feel about each other.

He adds, "There are not enough diamond rings in the world to match her worth."
