Jenny Mollen on Her Sons and Estranged Husband Jason Biggs
Jenny Mollen, the estranged wife of American Pie star Jason Biggs, expressed her hopes for her sons in a recent statement. “I hope at least one of them is gay,” she shared, adding a lighthearted twist to the conversation.
Reflecting on her relationship with Biggs, she mentioned her feelings of being out of touch with him, saying, “Call me old-fashioned, but I just want my sons to marry the women whose mothers died.” This came from a post she published last month, suggesting she misses feeling relevant and purposeful.
Mollen, who shares two sons, Sid, 12, and Laszlo, 8, mentioned how she once questioned her mother-in-law’s emotional reactions during Biggs’ marriage announcement. “I used to think it was insane that my mother-in-law would break down when Jason said he was getting married,” she recalled, coming to realize that it wasn’t about her own quirks or habits.
With a representative confirming their separation after 18 years of marriage, Mollen insisted that they still maintain a good relationship. Earlier in May, she touched on the bittersweet nature of motherhood, lamenting how her sons would eventually grow up and leave her.
“Now they are still little. They still crawl into my sweaters and sheets,” she wrote, revealing how they still rely on her for comfort and support. Yet, she recognized the inevitable change, saying, “I’m going to lose them… I’m going through the longest separation of my life.”
Looking back, Mollen also reflected on her dating life and interactions with the boys she dated, humorously calling herself “every mother’s nightmare.” She anticipated some form of karmic retribution, joking about facing a “crazy bitch” who might use her past against her.
She recounted a recent incident involving one of her sons texting a girl. Even though the girl was only 12, Mollen sensed a concerning dynamic, describing the girl as intimidating. “I wanted to intervene before he got hurt,” she said, feeling the tender balance of motherhood and the challenges it brings.
“Motherhood includes a lot of unexpected sadness,” she commented, highlighting how the relationship dynamic evolves as her sons grow. “The abandonment we ultimately endure as mothers of boys is uniquely cruel because it begins with adoration.”
Despite these challenges, Mollen acknowledged that if their parenting is executed well, their sons will eventually gain independence. “Perhaps the tragedy of my sons is also a gift,” she said, reiterating her hope that one day, at least one of her sons will embrace being gay.
Recently, Biggs and Mollen were spotted together in New York, arm in arm, in the first public sighting since announcing their split. They were also seen dining out with their children shortly before that.
