stories. let me tell you i wasn't so good in the beginning. in term of love life, or love choisz, y choices, i feel like i wasn't necessarily in the right place like we are all. but the teacher showed up when the student was ready for it. i had different teachers which i call ex-boyfriend and taught me some great things. but they just didn't work out. >> larry: were you ever dumped? you write about dumped in the book. does someone dump you? >> yes. i did. tony lobianco. >> larry: i know tony. >> also an actor. >> larry: terrific actor. >> i did not date that one. i dated the younger version in high school. my high school sweetheart from 12 to 19. >> larry: he dumped you? >> we had a breakup he dumped me for a full summer to check out more meat at the deli during spring break. i was horrified. crying in bed. just devastated i was brought to my knees back then. looking back, you know, i go, everyone is always looking back to their, you know, first loves
9:05 pm
like in the book. i write searching for tony lobianco. people are on facebook looking for their first loves. why are people fascinated and go backwards. >> larry: you never forget your first, right? >> true. there is not much luggage going into the first relationship. like a clean slate. >> larry: no luggage. >> afterwards. bringing all of the ex- luggage with you. >> larry: how many times would you say, jenny you have been in love? jenny? >> i would say about five, six times. i have loved every boyfriend i have had. and i still love them. but i feel look we -- some people have more soul mates than others. so. >> larry: we can't leave it alone. let's go to it and then go back to the book. what happened with jim carrey. when i did the bathroom scene on letterman. hilarious, the two of us una batht bathtub, champagne. you were going with him then. >> yes i was. i thought it was hilarious. >> larry: you talked about him.
9:06 pm
and he talked about your son. you were so happy. >> so happy. >> larry: what happened? >> you know, everything that we talked about in terms of, admiration for one another and respect and love was absolutely true. and is true. in the moments there were some great times. and i am so grateful for him standing by me through those autism years and being so kind to evan and being an amazing boyfriend. but like with a lot of relationships in hollywood you don't necessarily see what goes on when things aren't maybe so great. and we both looked at each other. >> larry: what was the difference do you think? what caused? you know, i don't have a right to -- >> not going to get into specifics. >> larry: what was the key to this attractive, funny, outgoing personality couple, the key that didn't work? >> the key that didn't work was probably us both growing and changing like everyone does in opposite directions. and we kind of got to that point, rather quickly towards
9:07 pm
the end that said, you know what? we are both seeing that maybe we're not going in the same direction anymore. and let's -- let's end in peace not war. >> larry: it did end in peace? >> it did. i am grateful. >> larry: do you keep in touch? >> we do, just mutual respect and admiration. >> larry: knowing jim and talking to jim, when he was in love was madly in love. jim was 100%. >> we would both say, still very much, very much have respect and love for each other. but, you know i look back and look at the lessons learned and i go wow. he was an amazing teacher for five years. >> larry: he tweeted it out about the breakup. were you surprised at that? >> no, i tweeted right after. the little inside scoop to that, larry. >> larry: please. >> look most celebrity breakups they don't usually happen at the time the media find out. there is some time. >> larry: they don't know the media. >> they don't know. they're not that quick. >> larry: what happened? >> there was some time to mend
9:08 pm
both of our hearts. no matter whose decision in the barackup it does take time to grieve and get over it. we did have a cushion. we got a phone call that said the magazines are coming out tomorrow. they found out. so we both decided to do it on our own terms. we didn't want to go through the media machine like when celebrities breakup you have to make a statement, go through the press wire. you know, it is just a bunch of bull. so we just said let's do it in the new social media world. and, bow out gracefully with a lot of respect. >> larry: do you cry? do you, how do you handle, you have had breakups? >> i have had breakups. yes, of course you cry. >> larry: is there a rule for breaking up. >> i go see my therapist. she had said, you know, no matter what, any relationship or marriage that i have had in the past, too, you grieve the loss of the relationship. there is someof what a feeling of failure that you have to mourn of going "god, you know, the dreams that you had in your head are, that's how they were
9:09 pm
just dreams. it's ending." and you have to go inside and then make a new routine. i do remember once i moved back in my house i looked around and went i don't know how to move here. >> larry: there is a mourning. mourning. >> it is. >> larry: jenny mccarthy, our guest. have to tell you, if you are on another planet. the book, "love, lust and faking it." if there is ever a guaranteed best-seller. and if i was on the cover. major. we'll be right back with jenny after this.

9:13 pm
understand? >> larry: good question. >> it is a good question. i was worried about that more than anything. >> larry: because he is autistic or just -- >> he is no longer autistic. but because he is a child. and they had a very strong connection. i was worried, what, if he would feel abandoned or -- i don't know what. but i looked at my own parents, who stayed in the relationship a little too long, they were married 30 years the they probably should have gotten divorced at 10 years. so, i knew that i was making the right decision because it was making me happy and if that is a good reflection for my son to look at i thought is the best teacher i could be. i did have a conversation with him. i told him that we will be moving into our old house. i never sold my old house. and that we will send jimmy love hearts from this house. >> larry: does he talk to jimmy? >> yes. yes. >> larry: does he talk to his father? >> oh, yeah. he is definitely, he does. >> larry: so he wasn't like losing a man relationship in his
