JIM Carrey says he and his lady love, Jenny McCarthy, aren’t planning to get married.“No, we’re never getting married, but we’re never getting divorced, which is fantastic,” the 45-year-old actor said on this week’s edition of Access Hollywood.

Will he get her a ring at least?

“I bought her a Chloe purse,” he joked. “Isn’t that good enough?”

Carrey and McCarthy, 34, both pictured above, went public with their romance last year. “She’s just a wonderful lady and much deeper than she’s ever received credit for, and I’m very excited about her future,” Carey said of the former Playboy playmate, who got her big break in the mid-90s as a co-host on MTV’s Singled Out.

Carrey, who was previously married to actress Lauren Holly, has a 19-year-old daughter, Jane, with his first wife, Melissa Womer. McCarthy and film director John Asher filed for divorce in August 2005, after six years of marriage. They have a four-year-old son, Evan.

When asked whether their relationship would have worked years ago, Carrey said: “No, not at all. I went through a lot of relationships that I believe were meant to define what I don’t want in another person and in myself, and it refocused me on what I do want.”
