The couple first met in 2008 while filming the romantic comedy “My Best Friend’s Girl,” and shortly after became engaged in January of that same year. They eloped in a small ceremony in April, followed by a larger celebration in Napa, California, featuring around 40 attendees in July. Their relationship has largely been kept private, with both parties opting to shield their children from the public eye as much as possible.
Despite their separation, the pair gathered to celebrate Biggs’ 48th birthday as a family, reinforcing their commitment to co-parenting. A shared source indicated their mutual support for one another, stating, “They are doing great” and highlighting their desire to maintain a strong familial connection.
In recent years, both Biggs and Mollen have engaged in various creative projects. They both appeared in the comedy film “Influenced,” which has recently been released in cinemas. Biggs is widely recognised for his role as Jim Levenstein in the beloved “American Pie” series, which spanned four films between 1999 and 2012. His recent venture as a director was with the film “Untitled Home Invasion Romance,” and he is also featured in the comedy show “Operation Taco Gary”.

In various posts, Mollen has illustrated their journey together, capturing moments of affection and humour. A recent birthday post for Biggs included a black-and-white photo of them together, alongside a light-hearted comment about Biggs’ dislike for surprises, affirming her understanding of his personality even after years of marriage.
In celebrating their marriage milestone, they shared videos reflecting on their time together, highlighting their playful and loving relationship. Mollen’s anniversary message referred to their lengthy partnership and her appreciation for the moments they’ve created together.
