JASON Biggs’ dramatic weight loss and the confidence boost that came with it played a key role in the end of his 18-year marriage to Jenny Mollen, insiders reveal.
The American Pie star’s slimmed-down look sparked rumours about Ozempic, but sources say it was the change in Jason’s attitude that caused tension at home.
An insider told the Daily Mail, “Jason definitely has changed since his weight-loss transformation.
“He lost a lot of weight and it definitely helped boost his ego.”
The couple, who met on a film set in 2008 and quickly tied the knot, share two sons, Sid and Lazio.
Sources also point to the added stress from Biggs’ recent directorial debut, Untitled Home Invasion Romance, as another factor straining the relationship.
“He had his first big directorial debut last year, and that was a really stressful time for him,” said a source.
“Trying to stay in the spotlight and keep up with his reputation puts a lot of pressure on him.” Despite the split announcement last week, those close to the pair say they remain on good terms.
Couples therapy helped them stay together for years, but insiders say the relationship simply ran its course without any third-party involvement.
Jason once shared a wild birthday story involving an escort hired by Jenny, showing their relationship was never short of surprises.
Now, after nearly two decades, the pair have gone their separate ways, with no scandal or drama, just a quiet parting of ways.
