Jenny Mollen, the best-selling author, actor, and beloved online personality, has shared unfiltered details about her daily life three months after confirming her split from husband of 17 years, Jason Biggs. The pair, who first met on the set of the 2008 comedy *My Best Friend's Girl*, quickly became a fan-favorite Hollywood couple thanks to their unapologetically silly, relatable social media content and candid anecdotes about marriage and parenthood, shared across Mollen’s essays, podcast appearances, and joint interview segments.
Their separation announcement, posted as a joint statement to both of their Instagram accounts in March 2024, noted that the split was amicable, with no third-party involvement or contentious conflict, and that their top priority remained co-parenting their two sons, 8-year-old Sid and 6-year-old Laz. For months after the announcement, Mollen kept a relatively low profile online, leading fans to wonder how she was adjusting to the major life shift.
In a recent episode of her podcast *Ask Me Another* and a follow-up Instagram Q&A, Mollen pulled back the curtain on her “new normal”: she has moved into a cozy, sunlit 1-bedroom apartment in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, a 10-minute drive from the family home where Biggs stays full-time with the kids. She splits her time evenly between her new place and the family home, sleeping over three nights a week to be present for the boys’ school drop-offs, soccer practices, and bedtime routines.
She noted that the most unexpected challenge of the split has been letting go of the public persona she shared with Biggs, who rose to fame as Jim Levenstein in the *American Pie* franchise. “For almost two decades, I was introduced as ‘Jason Biggs’ wife’ before I was introduced as Jenny, the writer, the podcaster, the person who makes terrible pasta for her friends,” she shared in the Q&A. “It’s been weird and freeing to reintroduce myself to people, and honestly, to myself too.”
Mollen also confirmed that she and Biggs have maintained a close, respectful friendship, recently hosting a joint Halloween party for their kids’ classmates and attending Sid’s school play together earlier this month. She is currently wrapping up work on her fourth essay collection, which focuses on midlife identity, grief, and the joy of rebuilding a life on your own terms, slated for release in fall 2025. She added that while she has gone on a few casual dates, she has no plans to enter a serious relationship any time soon, saying, “I’m finally getting to know who I am without a partner, and I’m not rushing to give that up.”

As a long-time fan of Jenny’s books, I’m so proud of her for being so vulnerable about this. Divorce is never easy, especially when you’ve built a public identity as half of a couple. Wishing her nothing but peace and joy in this next chapter!
I love that they’re prioritizing their kids and keeping the co-parenting relationship respectful. So many celebrity splits turn messy, but it’s clear both of them have their family’s best interest at heart. Hope they both find what they’re looking for!
I still remember their hilarious TikTok videos together during the pandemic, I was so sad when they announced their split, but it’s so good to hear Jenny is thriving on her own. Can’t wait for her new essay collection, I know it’s going to be as raw and funny as all her other work!
It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity talk about divorce without framing it as a total failure. Sometimes two people just grow apart, and there’s no shame in that. So glad Jenny is taking this time to prioritize herself and her happiness.
