Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have split, the actor confirms on his Twitter.

Minutes ago, Jim tweeted:

    "Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best! S'okay! ?;^>"


Jenny posted a message of her own:

    "Im so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane [Jim's daughter] and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."


The couple were together for five years, with Jim acting as a father to Jenny's son, Evan, who suffered from Autism.

Jim welcomed his first grandchild in late February, and Jenny seemed just as excited as her beau to welcome the little boy into their family, tweeting, "Yes I'm a grandma!"
