Biography 
Melissa Womer was born Melissa Jaine Womer on July 8, 1960, in New York, in the United States of America, and is 62 years old. And because she is a “July 8 baby,” Womer’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to sources, she was raised in a dysfunctional family and had a fraught early life full of struggles. Growing up in a dysfunctional family can frustrate a child growing up. They may have difficulty becoming adults, committing to a job, or maintaining relationships. That notwithstanding, Melissa worked hard to become a force in the American entertainment industry.
As a New York City native, Melissa holds American citizenship by birth and had her primary and High School education at local schools in New York. Later, she enrolled at the prestigious University Of Kansas, where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree. During her years at the University Of Kansas, reports say she did odd jobs to support herself. Then, she took jobs as a writer, writing jokes for a morning radio show in Kansas City. 
After her university education, Melissa Womer relocated from Kansas to Hollywood, where she was offered a job at a comedy store on Sunset Boulevard to work as a cocktail waitress. A few months later, she would get a chance to feature in an open mic night at the club; an opportunity she is always grateful to have had. 
Following her performances at the comedy store, she became one of the favorite characters at the comedy store, which gave her even more chances at fame. Later, she was allowed to act in the movies, making her debut film appearance with the 1974 motion picture, “Petrocelli,” and later appeared in the flick Man on the Moon.” 
Melissa Womer is credited for producing the reality TV series, “Real Stories of Donut Men,” and “The Yesterday Show with John Kerwin.” Without a doubt, she is a popular figure in the American entertainment industry, a figure to reckon with, considering her contributions to the business. Also, her romantic relationship with her now ex-husband, Jim Carrey, contributed to her fame. 
Melissa has a white skin color and belongs to the White-American ethnic classification. Similarly, she has attractive dark brown eyes and long blonde hair. Looking more at her physique, Melissa Womer stands about 1.7 meters or 170 centimeters tall, approximately five feet seven inches. She weighs 58 kilograms or 127 pounds and looks quite fit for her age — talking about her slim and athletic body type. 
Melissa Womer is No Longer Married to Actor Jim Carrey
And speaking of romance, Melissa Womer was previously married to Jim Carrey, whom she was married between 1987 (age 27) and 1995 (age 35). The now-separated couples, Melissa Jaine Womer and Jim Carrey met each other for the first time during their years at the Comedy Store where Melissa worked. As with Melissa who worked two jobs (a comedy store, and masseuse at a health club in L.A), Jim was a struggling up-and-coming actor when they started dating.
Jim and Melissa Womer started dating in 1986 and tied their wedding knot in 1987 in a private wedding held at a hotel in Santa Monica, California, US. A few months after their wedding ceremony, they had their first child, Jane Erin Carrey, on September 6, 1987. In 1995, their eight-year-old marriage ended after Jim filed for divorce from Melissa Womer.

According to Jim, the reason for their divorce would be that their busy careers had led to the breakdown of their relationship. In contrast to his claims, another report pinpointed that he divorced Melissa to be with his lover, actress Lauren Holly. Melissa said during an interview with the Spokesman that she did not believe that her husband will divorce her. They used to read other celebrity divorce stories but never did they think that they will divorce.
Melissa said her husband went from no money and a ninth-grade education to big money, fast cars, a girlfriend, and an escort of sycophants. They lived happily together when Jim earned $150 per week and she did two jobs, but as life went on, they got fame and Jim lost interest in the marriage. Jim became a famous American and Canadian film actor, artist, and comedian widely known for making appearances in the 1990 American sketch comedy television series “In Living Color.” So what changed?

However, Womer would ask for a divorce settlement of between $5 million to $10 million but later received only $3.5 million. Eight years after they concluded their divorce, she would receive another $7 million from her ex-husband, Jim Carrey, for their daughter, Jane. They both cared for Jane as much as they could. Although Melissa claims that Jim shows little or no regard – he calls once a week. However, Jane is doing well herself.
Melissa and Jim Carrey’s Daughter
Melissa’s daughter, Jane Erin Carrey, attained fame as a singer in 2012 after participating in the singing competition “American Idol.” She is into singing and makes a living out of it, as well as her Catfish TV show.
Jane married her husband, Alex Santana, in the late 2000s. Notably, Alex Santana is the lead vocalist of the metal band Blood Money. Then in 2010, the young couple, Jane and Alex, had a son named Jackson Riley Santana. And although Melissa Womer is now a grandmother, her daughter, Jane, and her husband, Alex, separated after they couldn’t resolve their relationship issues. That notwithstanding, they now have joint custody of their son, who is twelve years old and whom they shower with love and care. 
On a side note, Melissa’s ex-husband, Jim Carrey, got married to actress Lauren Holly in 1996, whom he divorced less than a year after their marriage. As of December 2022, neither Melissa nor Jim is married.
