Fans were shocked when news broke that Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen had split after 18 years of marriage and two children. Now a source says the American Pie star, 48, and the actress, 46, simply drifted apart in recent years. “And Jason’s the first to admit he’s a changed person these days, having shed a lot of weight and being proudly sober,” adds the source. “He wants to eliminate any source of stress from his life, and it just wasn’t going to work for him, sticking in a marriage that had lost its spark.”

The source insists the longtime couple, who got engaged after costarring in 2008’s My Best Friend’s Girl, have no hard feelings. “Jenny has accepted it’s the right thing for her too.” They’re committed to co-raising Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8, and staying on good terms. “The last thing either of them wants is to wind up bickering over money or not remain friends. There’s too much mutual respect for that to happen.”
