In fact, Mollen previously revealed she was the one who ensured the couple met, despite being wary of co-starring alongside the actor for the 2008 film. 

“I was just like, ‘Jason Biggs? That guy from American Pie?’” Mollen recalled during a 2023 appearance on Live! With Kelly and Mark. “I wasn’t gonna root for him. He was more famous than me. So why would I want him to get any more success in life? I had to think of myself!”

But when Mollen watched his audition tape, she couldn’t deny he was “funny” and “talented,” prompting her to sign on board with him. 

And Mollen joked that it didn’t take long for the duo to hit it off, noting they were married—in a FedEx Kinkos parking lot in Calabasas—just nine months later. As she put it, “It works out.”

Although the pair’s whirlwind romance took less than a year to become a marriage, the I Like You Just The Way I Am author did not shy away from sharing their imperfections. 

“When we work together, there’s just a lot of competition in our relationship not for the spotlight,” she told People in 2016, “but it has to be about each of us because I feel like we both have a lot of childhood abandonment issues.”

Admitting the dynamic was “f--ked up,” Mollen shared that it came from both she and Biggs growing up with “narcissistic parents.”

However, the pair had previously always managed to weather their rain. In 2019, Biggs credited Mollen for sticking by his side amid his struggles with alcoholism leading up to his sobriety journey in 2017, telling US Weekly at the time that their relationship was “better than it’s ever been.”

Indeed, after welcoming their kids in 2014 and 2017, Biggs assured they had found a new equilibrium as a couple. As he put it, “We know how to find time for each other now.”
