This is a kind of heartwarming story about two kooky famous people finding their way back together after a high profile breakup. According to Star Magazine, which has run insider stories on these two in the past, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are trying to make it work again after splitting up this April. They’ve since each been seen out with other people, but (allegedly) found their way back to each other and may be headed for a reconciliation.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey may be giving love another shot!

She pulled the plug on their nearly five-year-relationship last April, as Star was first to reveal, because his bouts of depression made life with him very difficult at times. But in late August they met up in L.A. — and have been talking almost daily ever since, says a source.

“Jenny has told Jim that she missed him, and he didn’t want to end it in the first place,” an insider tells Star. “Jenny now thinks she may have rushed into breaking up with Jim. He can be hard to deal with, but he can also be so sweet and loving and fun.”

Two possible obstacles to an immediate reconciliation: Jim has been seen out with a stunning brunette, while 37-year-old Jenny — who has gushed about Jim’s deep bond with Evan, her autistic 8-year-old son from a previous marriage — has been dating former fitness model Jason Toohey since June. But the stars are realizing that nothing compares to what they had with each other, says the source. And their loved ones aren’t surprised.

“Jim’s daughter, Jane, had urged Jenny to take him back all along,” says the source. “Everyone in their circles agrees that Jim and Jenny belong together.”

I hope this is true. I really loved them together and they seemed like such a united team. There were rumors that after their breakup Jim gave Jenny a whopping $25 million to help ensure that she and her son, Evan, were set for life along with providing financing for Jenny to continue her autism advocacy work. Jenny might not really need the money. She has a talkshow coming out on Oprah’s new network, and reports have her earning $3-5 million a year with bonuses for high ratings. We’re about to see a lot more of her, or maybe not if Oprah’s new network ends up being a flop. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is true and that these two are back together.
