Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs separated earlier this year after 18 years of marriage, but the two were affectionate with each other at Mollen’s perfume launch party on Thursday night.
A source told Page Six the estranged couple is “still very much in love.” According to the source, “They were canoodling; his hands were all over her body,” and Biggs repeatedly told Mollen how “proud he was and how much he loved her.”
Biggs, 48, showed up to support Mollen, 47, as she launched her fragrance, Bi-Lingual by Villa Monstera, described as blending “warm sandalwood meets skin-like ambrette and musk, softened by ylang-ylang.”
Mollen posted an Instagram slideshow from the night, including photos with Biggs, captioned: “My NEW PERFUME, my oldest friends, my current husband, and some other people I’m dating. This movie writes itself.”
Page Six confirmed earlier this year that Mollen and Biggs had split after 18 years of marriage. They share two sons, Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8.
The pair met on the set of the film “My Best Friend’s Girl,” directed by Howard Deutch, in 2007. They got engaged by January 2008 and eloped that April. In July 2008, Biggs and Mollen renewed their vows in front of family and friends in Napa, California.
Mollen, author of “City of Likes,” said over the summer that she had been struggling emotionally since the split. “So we are clear, I am massively depressed,” she captioned a video of herself walking barefoot through a field. “This is just what surviving looks like.”
In a June podcast appearance, Mollen described what the relationship looks like now. “And it’s still, like, romantic. We still love each other,” she said. “It’s just not, I don’t know, it’s a different type of romance. It’s, like, your best friend.”
She called adjusting to single life after nearly two decades “surreal” and “bizarre,” but said their children keep them connected. “People will be like, ‘How does it feel?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know, the same?'” she said. “We live in two different places, but we’re still tethered. We have kids. We still talk 18 times a day about everyone’s schedule and after-school and holidays.”
