Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs Split After 18 Years of Marriage
The estranged couple announced their split on May 14.
Mollen and the American Pie actor, 48, announce their decision to part ways on May 14 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple also share sons Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8, together.
In a new essay titled “Don't Tell Me What It Is,” she noted how she felt like she was racing through her life.
“When you're young and ambitious, or maybe just middle-aged with ADHD, it feels impossible to appreciate anything while you're in it,” she emotionally penned. “I was in a rush to grow up, a rush to graduate college, a rush to land a TV show, and a billboard outside my ex-boyfriend's apartment.”
Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen share two sons together.
“The highest highs of my life have all hit like pennies disappearing into a bottomless well. I'd wait — maybe a moment or two for the sound of something landing, but before it ever did, I was on to the next. Hoping that the next thing would finally be the one that cured me- the one that made me feel worthy and validated in a way that has always evaded me," Mollen added.
While she didn't mention Biggs by name, she further touched upon her recent breakup.
“I leave for Italy on Wednesday, which sounds soooo Eat, Pray, Love considering the current state of my life,” she joked, referring to Elizabeth Gilbert's 2006 memoir about her trip to Europe following her divorce.
