Busy Philipps has opened up about her separation from husband Marc Silverstein after 15 years of marriage. On Friday 27 May, Philipps revealed during an episode of her podcast Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best that she separated from the screenwriter in February 2021.
While her two children – Birdie Leigh, 13, and Cricket Pearl, 8 – have known about their divorce, Philipps and Silverstein went back and forth on how to share the decision with the rest of the world. "It’s been a really long time that Marc and I have been separated,” the 42-year-old actress explained in the podcast. “Our kids know, our families know, our friends know, and we really discussed how we handle it publicly. "“The truth is there’s a conventional idea of what a person in the public eye is supposed to do when their relationship ends,” the Freaks & Geeks alum continued. “It’s been very well established, right?
