Exes Done Right: Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen's NYC Dinner Moment

In a world where celebrity breakups often turn into tabloid bloodbaths, Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen just showed up to prove that sometimes, people can actually get it right.

The former couple made their first public appearance together since announcing their separation last month, stepping out for a family dinner in New York City over the weekend. After 18 years of marriage, they’re navigating life as exes with what looks like genuine ease—no awkward distance, no forced smiles masking tension. Instead, they looked comfortable sharing a meal and good company with their larger group, suggesting that whatever ended their romantic connection didn’t torch the foundation they built together.

There’s something refreshing about watching this play out. When Jason and Jenny announced their split in May, their representatives said they were on great terms with zero drama. Most celebrity breakup statements read like damage control. This one actually seems to have legs. At dinner, Jenny grabbed Jason’s arm at one point, a gesture that spoke to familiarity and warmth without crossing into“are they getting back together?”speculation. They’ve clearly settled into a new chapter—one where Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8, remain at the center of both their lives. That’s the real story here.

The two first met in 2007 while filming My Best Friend’s Girl, moved fast with an engagement, and eloped in April 2008. Nearly two decades together isn’t erased by a separation, and they seem to understand that. Sure, Jenny caught heat last week over a controversial since-deleted social media post about her eldest son that drew criticism online. But that fire didn’t seem to ruin anyone’s dinner plans, which tells you something about the resilience of their co-parenting setup.

What Jason and Jenny are doing—staying united as a family unit even as their marriage ends—isn’t revolutionary. But it’s rare enough in the celebrity sphere to notice. Most of us will probably spend the rest of our lives figuring out how to separate without scorched earth. Maybe we’re all watching a master class without realizing it.
