Jim Carrey -- who split from his long-time girlfriend Jenny McCarthy last spring -- has found love again with former America's Next Top Model contestant Anchal Joseph, who's 25 years younger than the Canadian-born funnyman.

Carrey, 49, and Joseph, 24, were snapped walking hand-in-hand Thursday night in New York as they left the theater after watching Laura Linney's new play Time Stands Still.

Joseph -- born in New Delhi, India -- appeared on the seventh season of America's Next Top Model, hosted by Tyra Banks.

She was the seventh aspiring model eliminated in the competition, but despite that, she's currently pursuing a modeling career in New York.

As Breaking Celebrity News has previously reported, the twice-married Carrey and McCarthy broke up last April after five years together.

Last February, Carrey became a grandpa when his daughter Jane gave birth to a baby boy.

And in case you're wondering -- Jane is 23, just one year younger than Carrey's new love.
