Busy Philipps split from husband Marc Silverstein last year after 15 years of marriage

Busy Philipps and her husband the screenwriter Marc Silverstein have separated after 15 years of marriage, she shared on her podcast Friday.

Philipps says on the reactions she has received have been less about the split and more about how she and Silverstein are navigating it with their children. The couple separated about a year ago and are using the nesting method with their children. Nesting is where children stay in the family home and parents rotate staying in the home.

"Look, I've had some people be real (expletive) judgy with me about how we’re doing this," she says to her co-host on Friday's episode of "Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best."

"Ultimately with everything … If you don't get it, I'm glad you don’t have to do it. I'm glad it's not your family. I'm glad it's mine."

Philipps says the couple told family and friends when they separated, but not the public until this week. And she's hopeful that the separation will work well for their children, Birdie Leigh, 13, and Cricket Pearl, 8.

"Now listen, my children … I don't know how grateful they are in this moment but… can hope it will hit one day in therapy when they are like 35," says Philipps who is starring in Girls5Eva on Peacock and is known for her roles on Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks, and Cougar Town among others.
