Exploring Busy Philipps’ Hollywood Career and Unconventional Co-Parenting Relationship With Her Ex

In May 2022, Busy Philipps revealed on her podcast, “Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best,” that she and her husband Marc Silverstein had separated more than a year prior. She explained why she waited to share the news, saying that discussing it made them both “truly ill.” Philipps also shared that they had agreed to try “nesting,” in which their kids live in the family home and each parent takes turns living there with them. She admitted that this arrangement was not for everyone and could be complicated and difficult for both of them. Philipps has been open about her marital difficulties in the past, telling Parents in 2018 that marriage is always hard, but especially when you have kids. She said that she had gone to her husband several times and told him that something had to change.
