Jenny Mollen said Jason Biggs was still part of her life on Thursday, but not in the way the pair once were. In an Instagram post, she wrote that she is "massively depressed" after their separation and added, "This is just what surviving looks like."
Instagram on Thursday
Mollen shared a barefoot video of herself skipping through a grassy field, set to the 2009 Metric track "Help I'm Alive." The contrast is the point: the image is playful, while the caption lands much harder, turning a private breakup into a public account of how she is handling it.
Page Six said Mollen and Biggs parted in May. By June, they were photographed out to dinner with their kids in New York City, which showed the split had not turned into a total break in daily life. For readers trying to track the practical side of the separation, that matters because the family still appears to be moving together in public rather than splitting cleanly into separate lanes.
Lazlo and Sid
A representative said Mollen and Biggs remain on amicable terms and are determined to co-parent their sons, Lazlo and Sid. She has also already said their relationship was "still romantic" during an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in June, adding, "We still love each other," and, "We still talk 18 times a day about everyone's schedule and after school and holidays."
That is the friction in the story: Mollen describes herself as "massively depressed," yet she also describes the bond as "a different type of romance" and says, "We live in two different places, but we're still tethered." The split is real, but the structure around it is still active, and the daily work of parenting seems to be keeping the two connected even as the marriage changes shape.
Substack and June
In a Substack essay, Mollen said she had struggled to feel "worthy and validated" after the split, and wrote, "Everywhere I've ever been has felt a little temporary, like a waiting room I'm trapped in before an operation." She also said she had not lived in the moment when her sons were young, blaming that on being "young and ambitious, or maybe just middle-aged with ADHD," and admitting she chased her next big life event to eventually feel "cured."
The useful read here is simple: Mollen is not presenting the separation as a clean reset, and that honesty is more revealing than a polished statement would be. What comes next is not a public roadmap but a continuing co-parenting arrangement, with her own words now making clear how much strain sits underneath the casual surface.
