People reported a rep for the couple confirmed the split, while a source close to the pair said they were “doing great” and spent Biggs’ recent 48th birthday together as a family on May 12.<\/p>\n

“They are very much connected,” the source told People. “I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms.”\ufeff<\/p>\n

The couple welcomed their first son, Sid, in February 2014. Their second son, Lazlo arrived in October 2017.<\/p>\n

They moved from LA to New York City in 2015, and later settled in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

New Jersey-born Briggs started acting in commercials at the age of five. By 12, he had appeared on Broadway and a TV series, before winning a role at 16 on the soap opera As the World Turns, which netted him a Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Younger Actor.<\/p>\n

But his most famous role was in the 1999 teen comedy, American Pie, in which he scored the starring role as the lustful but naive high school student Jim Levenstein.<\/p>\n

The film was a hit and made more than \ufeff$320 million at the box office from a modest budget of just $15 million.<\/p>\n

He went on to reprise the role in the film’s two sequels, and starred in a number of other films and TV shows.<\/p>\n

They also co-starred as husband and wife in the 2016 film Amateur Night.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Mollen started writing a humorous column for website The Smoking Jacket, and an advice column for Playboy.<\/p>\n

She later drew criticism for the revelation, before her husband came out in defence of his wife.<\/p>\n
