When McCarthy recently visited “The View,�? she was interrogated by co-hosts Joy Behar and Star Jones about the gossip. They asked if she was involved with "a well-known comedian who makes funny faces who is not Jerry Lewis." McCarthy did not admit to the relationship, but did not deny it either.

She advised her fans to "look it up online" and then told Behar and Jones, "Let's move on to the next topic.�?

Both Jenny and Jim have been unlucky in love in the past. Jim has been divorced twice - his most notable marriage being to Dumb and Dumber co-star, Lauren Holly. He also had an unsuccessful engagement to Me, Myself and Irene co-star, Renee Zellweger. McCarthy filed for divorce from her husband last August.
