Last love: Jim Carrey and Catriona White

Jim stood at the window of a Los Angeles mansion in Brentwood, his eyes glued to the driveway. He had not gone out for several days - since the evening of September 28, when he learned about the suicide of his former lover Catriona White. The body of the 30-year-old makeup artist was discovered by friends at her rented home in Sherman Oaks, who were worried they could not contact her. There were pills nearby, and the farewell note mentioned Jim and their recent breakup. The last thing the 53-year-old comedian wanted to do was host guests. He told the public all he could in a press statement: “I am deeply shocked and saddened by the death of my dear Catriona. She was a kind and gentle Irish flower, too delicate for this world. She lived to love and be loved. I feel like I've been struck by lightning."

However, the people he was waiting for deserved detailed explanations. Catriona's mother and sister flew from Ireland to collect her body and bury her next to her father in Cappawhite Cemetery. Jim covered the expenses, booked the hotel, promised to help with the formalities and tell them what happened between him and Catriona.

A place under the sun
Catriona moved to the United States in 2009, as soon as she received a diploma in hair and makeup artistry in her homeland. She wanted to work in Hollywood - and, if possible, as an actress, and not as a make-up artist. She managed to appear in an episode of the series “Online Gamer,” but that was where her film success ended. It was difficult for Catriona to find a job in her specialty. New American “friends” brought the naive Irish woman into the popular Scientology cult among celebrities, which, among other things, provided access to good clientele.
It is not known exactly how Catriona met Jim Carrey in the summer of 2012. But definitely not thanks to Scientology, which the comedian makes fun of at every opportunity. The details of the actor's affair with his daughter, who was the same age as him, escaped the attention of the press because the lovers tried not to appear in public. “Kat was very shy,” her friends say. “She hated going to Hollywood parties with Jim.”
There was another explanation for Ekaterin's shyness. She lived and worked in the United States illegally. When her father died in Ireland three years ago, she did not go to the funeral, fearing that if she overstayed her visa, she would be permanently banned from entering America.
Apparently, Catriona tried unsuccessfully to legalize herself through marriage. She secretly married cameraman Mark Burton, whom she met in Los Angeles. Even many of Catriona's friends found out that she was married after her death, when the police demanded that her husband come to collect the body. Kerry’s friends are not sure that he was aware of his girlfriend’s marital status: “Jim would never appear in public with someone else’s wife.” Despite all her desire to “be seen” in Hollywood, Catriona could not afford to attract the attention of the migration services, and this literally drove her crazy.

Friends in misfortune
Chronic depression is not the best foundation for a healthy relationship, but it was what made Jim and Kat soul mates. Kerry has been open about his condition since his first wife, Melissa Womer, shared details of their personal life with the press: “In the evenings, he would fall on the floor and start howling, and I would sit next to him and console him until four or five o’clock in the morning.” For many years Jim fought the disease with the help of antidepressants. “Maybe I shouldn’t try too hard, because desperation is the most effective motivation,” he jokes darkly. “A person would not learn anything and achieve nothing if he did not fall into despair from time to time.”
Catriona, remembered by Cappawhite residents and Sherman Oaks neighbors as a quiet, secretive and uncommunicative girl, also struggled for many years with the tendency to fall into a twilight state of mind. So she understood the nature of Jim’s quirks better than anyone else, and he was ready to put up with the oddities of her behavior that frightened other men. “They locked themselves in his house and didn’t come out for several days, sitting in the dark with the curtains drawn,” recall eyewitnesses of their affair. While it's definitely more fun to be pining together than alone, there's no benefit to being a minus in the long run.

In March 2013, Jim and Catriona separated to look for more cheerful partners. Judging by the fact that in May 2015 they appeared together again on the streets of New York, the search was unsuccessful. Kat's friends were not happy about their reunion: “She lived for him, and he considered their relationship an affair, he said that he loved all people in the world equally and did not feel the inner need to commit himself to one.” However, the girl was sure that this time she would succeed. Shortly before the new round of the novel, she underwent a Scientology “purification” procedure, after which the adherent was supposedly able to cope with any emotional turbulence. Ironically, the sect also looked askance at their reunion: when Catriona was with Jim, she sharply lost interest in religious events. Kat was so inspired that she began collecting divorce papers in order to gain the right to get married by the end of the year.

The lovers were last seen together on September 19 at the Nobu restaurant in Malibu, where they celebrated Catriona's birthday. There was no sign of separation. “They looked like a happy couple, they were kissing,” say restaurant visitors. But on September 24, Jim broke up with Catriona for the second time. That evening, he joked with art gallery visitors, and his abandoned girlfriend, sitting at home, wrote a final message on Twitter: “By leaving the Internet, I hope I brought light to the lives of those I love.”
Jim Carrey's lover
The personal life of the popular Hollywood actor Jim Carrey is very difficult. In 1987, he married a waitress named Melissa, who gave birth to his daughter Jane just a year later. Their life together was by no means happy. Constant baseless scandals and growing demands of the newly minted socialite led to divorce.
Jim's second wife was actress Lauren Holly, but this marriage lasted only 10 months. After his second unsuccessful marriage, Kerry decided not to enter into such official unions again until he tested the strength of the relationship. Then he had a lot of affairs with girls, among whom it is worth noting Renee Zellweger, Anine Bing and Tiffany Silver. The actor dated fashion model Jenny McCarthy for more than five years, but this relationship also came to its logical conclusion.
Jim Carrey and Catriona White
Jim Carrey's romance with makeup artist and makeup artist Catriona White began in 2012. The couple met on the set and immediately fell in love. At that time, the actor was 50 years old, and Catriona was half that age. This did not stop them from happily spending time together. Then their romantic relationship lasted only a few months. However, in May 2020, they resumed their romance, but the new round did not bring the expected outcome. In September, the actor left his chosen one. Just a few days later, the public was shocked by the news that Jim Carrey's lover had died.
Jim Carrey's lover suddenly died: what happened to the girl?
The body of 28-year-old Catriona White was found in her home in Los Angeles. After the girl had not contacted her for some time, her friends became very worried and came to her house to check if everything was okay. As it became known, the cause of death of the young girl was an overdose of drugs. Pills were found near White's body. The suicide of Jim Carrey's lover came as a complete surprise. No one expected Catriona to be capable of this. A suicide note was also found with her, which stated that she made such a decision because of the separation from her beloved Jim.
Upon learning of this tragedy, Jim was heartbroken and inconsolable. Of course, he also felt guilty because he abandoned her a few days before his death. The actor’s beloved committed suicide, and Jim Carrey could not help but come to say goodbye to her. The girl's funeral took place in the Irish town of Cappawhite. The famous Hollywood actor covered all funeral expenses.
Catriona is buried next to her father in the local cemetery. All of White's relatives and friends attended the funeral ceremony. Jim carried the coffin with other men and could barely stand due to grief. As a result, he could not stand it and cried bitterly. After Jim Carrey buried his beloved, he declared his love for her to the whole world. On Twitter, the actor posted a photo of them together and wrote that love is not lost.
Over time, new details about the deceased girl became known. Kerry had no idea that Catriona was married. She separated from her husband, but did not have time to officially dissolve the marriage. White planned to begin divorce proceedings because she hoped for a serious relationship with Jim.
Jim Carrey was accused of the death of his lover
Hollywood actor Jim Carrey is being sued. The widower of Catriona White, Kerry's ex-girlfriend, who committed suicide, blamed the actor for the woman's death.
According to Mark Burton, Jim supplied Catriona with drugs from which she died from an overdose. “Kerry used his wealth and celebrity status to illegally obtain and distribute highly addictive, lethal, regulated psychotropic drugs,” the widower said.
Catriona died in September 2020, following the end of her relationship with Jim Carrey. The body was found by police at her home in Los Angeles. While dating the actor, Catriona was formally married to Burton.
The widower claims that Kerry received prescriptions for Percocet, Ambien and Propranolol under the name Arthur King. Jim allegedly gave these drugs to White despite knowing that she was prone to depression and attempted suicide.
The actor stated that Catriona stole these drugs from him. But the plaintiff insists that Kerry is simply trying to hide his involvement in White's death, Reuters reports.
Jim Carrey responded to these statements by saying that “there come times in life when you need to stand up for your honor.” “I will not tolerate anyone intending to take advantage of me or the woman I loved. “I really hope that in the near future people will stop trying to profit from what happened,” he added.

Kerry and White started dating in 2012. Catriona worked in film as a make-up artist. Their romance lasted several months. The close relationship between them resumed in May 2015.
When Catriona passed away, she was 28 years old and Jim was 53 years old. The cause of death was a drug overdose; pills were found near her body. Police found a suicide note in the deceased's home.
“I can’t believe that you’re not around for three days now. I could try to move on with my life, try to mend my broken heart. I could, but this time I have neither the strength nor the desire. I'm sorry that you felt like I wasn't supporting you. I tried to give you the best part of me,” White wrote, addressing Kerry.
In her message, she also asked for forgiveness from her family and friends. “I am not made for this world,” Catriona wrote.
Last October, Kerry attended the funeral ceremony of his former lover. He carried the coffin with the body of a 28-year-old girl. According to the actor, he was deeply saddened by the news of Catriona's death.
“She was kind and gentle - a true Irish flower, too sensitive for this earth, for whom loving and being loved was the most important thing in life. My thoughts are with her family and everyone who loved her. It was a terrible blow for all of us,” he said.
