Jenny McCarthy's New Man, Jason Toohey: Can He Fill Jim Carrey's Shoes?

Aug. 18, 2010 — -- It looks like Jenny McCarthy's found a new man.

The former Playboy model's new boyfriend, former fitness model Jason Toohey, recently posted a photo of them on his Facebook page. McCarthy, 37, and Toohey, 35, have reportedly been dating for months.

Papparazzi have also snapped photos of the two out and about in Las Vegas -- Toohey's hometown where McCarthy and her 8-year-old son, Evan, have taken up residence while her Los Angeles house is getting rebuilt.

"I've been living in Vegas for about a month," McCarthy told People magazine Saturday. "My house is under construction right now in L.A., so I very well could be here until it's done. It's been awesome here."

Toohey marks the first major relationship McCarthy has had since she and actor Jim Carrey broke up in April. For five years, McCarthy and Carrey, 48, appeared to have had one of the industry's most fun-loving relationships -- on Valentine's Day, Carrey hired a plane to write "J Hearts J" across the Los Angeles skyline.

He followed that up with a sweet, if a tad sick, post on Twitter: "Jenny my Love, you've stolen my heart, my soul and of course anything you find in my pants."

But the news of the couple's breakup on Twitter was more bittersweet than buoyant:

"I'm so grateful for the years Jim and I had together," McCarthy wrote. "I will stay committed to Jane [Carrey's 22-year-old daughter] and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."

"Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship," Carrey tweeted. "I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best!"

While the former Playboy Playmate and the "Yes Man" star maintained a sunny relationship in public, behind the scenes, it may have had a dark side.

In 2004, Carrey spoke out about his battle with depression on "60 Minutes."

"There are peaks, there are valleys. But they're all kind of carved and smoothed out, and it feels like a low level of despair you live in," Carrey explained. "I was on Prozac for a long time. It may have helped me out of a jam for a little bit, but people stay on it forever. I had to get off at a certain point because I realized that, you know, everything's just OK."
