18 Times a Day: How Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs Stay Connected Post-Split

The breakup that isn’t quite a breakup—that’s the reality Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs are navigating now. After nearly two decades together, the couple split recently, but anyone expecting a messy Hollywood divorce narrative is in for a surprise. These two are rewriting the rulebook on what it means to end a marriage while keeping the relationship alive.

During an appearance on Amanda Hirsch’s“Not Skinny But Not Fat”podcast on Tuesday, June 23, Mollen, 47, opened up about the surreal nature of being single for the first time in 18 years. But here’s the catch: she and Biggs, 48, talk 18 times a day. About schedules. About their sons Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8. About the logistics of co-parenting and holidays. It’s the unglamorous backbone of what she describes as anything but a normal breakup. The couple met on the set of My Best Friend’s Girl in 2007, got engaged in 2008, and married that July—nearly two decades of intertwined lives that don’t simply untangle.

What makes their situation noteworthy is Mollen’s willingness to call it what it is: still romantic, just differently so.“We still love each other,”she explained to listeners.“I don’t know, it’s a different type of romance. It’s like your best friend.”There’s no bitterness here, no public feuding. A rep confirmed to Us Weekly last month that the estranged couple is on“great terms,”and Mollen reinforced that sentiment, emphasizing they’ve always been“amazing coparents and teammates.”Marriage is hard—she didn’t mince words about that—but splitting doesn’t have to mean erasing the person from your life.

Mollen’s honest reflection on the weirdness of going through this publicly is refreshing. She acknowledged that fan reaction has been the strangest element, and she made space for something often missing from celebrity split coverage: nuance. There’s no villain here. No scandal. Just two people who realized their romantic partnership needed to end while their partnership as parents and friends remained intact.

As for what comes next, Mollen isn’t rushing into anything. She’s focused on the kids and skeptical about modern dating culture—the endless texting games, the lack of real connection. For now, she’s keeping romance on the back burner, content to exist in this liminal space where her marriage has ended but her bond with Biggs hasn’t. It’s a quiet rebellion against the all-or-nothing breakup narrative the world usually expects.
