There’s no denying that model/actress Jenny McCarthy is a very funny woman, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that one of Hollywood’s hottest comedic actors, Jim Carrey, fell head over heels in love with her in 2005. And whether Jenny, 36, is rocking red carpet glamour or hanging out with her 6-year-old son, Evan, in sweatpants, Jim always makes her feel like the most gorgeous woman in the world. “Jim said a beautiful thing to me once: ‘You don’t need a lot of glitter to put on a rose because it’s always beautiful,’” Jenny reveals to In Touch. “That sticks with me. No matter what, you still have to be beautiful on the inside to look good on the outside.” Though Jim is committed to Jenny and her son, Evan, the pair won’t wed. “I don’t need that piece of paper to prove my love,” she says.

Q: It sounds like Jim always knows the perfect compliment.

A: Yeah, I taught him early on to go along with whatever mood I’m in. But he does it in his own way.

Q: How do you stay in such great shape?

A: I started doing Bikram yoga. It really is amazing. You sweat out all of your toxins at the same time that you’re toning up.

Q: What’s your secret?

A: The big secret is 90 percent of what you put in your mouth, even more so than working out. Working out will get you toned, but I don’t want a toned, fat body — I strive for a toned, lean body.
