On November 2009 Jane married musician Alex Santana but they separated after 11 months. They announced their split two months after.

According to Jane’s petition filed on October 20, the frontwoman of The Jane Carrey Band blames her split from Santana, lead singer of the metal band Blood Money, on the catch-all "irreconcilable differences."

But things seem fairly amicable, with her requesting joint legal and physical custody of the couple's lone child, 1-year-old Jackson Riley.

Jim confirmed his daughter's separation from her husband of one year in Dec. 2010. Jane is Jim's only daughter from his marriage to Melissa Womer from 1987 to 1995. He was also married to Dumb and Dumber costar Lauren Holly from 1996 to 1997.

Marleah Leslie, Jim’s representative said the couple will remain friends, as well as devoted parents to their son, Jackson Riley.
