{allcanada} McCarthy's son still misses Carrey

Jenny McCarthy hopes to rebuild her friendship with her ex-boyfriend Jim Carrey because her young son misses the actor.

The former model dated the funnyman for five years before they split in 2010 and she admits the break-up took its toll on her 10-year-old son, Evan, as he was so close to Carrey.

McCarthy now wants to build bridges with her ex-boyfriend for Evan's sake.

She tells U.S. radio host Howard Stern, "I've tried to ask (Carrey) numerous times (to see Evan), because my son still asks... (I have gone through) channels... (but) I haven't (reached out directly)... I think that sometimes people need to take a real break from each other.

"But I still love him. I think you can love people from a distance and respect him. But as a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up."

She adds, "I tell (Evan) that someday you'll cross paths, meet again... (but) it's hard. He's been in therapy. It's a process, he's working on it."
