Let’s face it, folks, relationships aren’t always sunshine and rainbows, even for the famous ones. Take Busy Philipps and her husband Marc Silverstein, for instance. These two have been through the wringer, but they’ve managed to pull through in a big way. When Busy and Marc welcomed their two children, Birdie, now 11, and Cricket, 6, back in 2008 and 2013, things got a little rocky. The stress of parenting and balancing responsibilities took its toll on their marriage. Busy even admitted that she considered leaving Marc if he didn’t step up and share the load.
“Marc was like, ‘I’ll do anything.’ And I was like, ‘OK, then do everything. Because I have done it all, all by myself, and I’m done, dude,’” Busy, the 40-year-old star of Busy Tonight, revealed in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I was fully out the door.” Can you imagine the pressure that Marc must’ve been feeling right then? It’s like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, and he knew he had to make a change or risk losing the love of his life.
Turning Point in Their Marriage
But wait, here’s the good part of the story. Busy decided to give Marc a chance to prove himself, and guess what? He delivered. “I wasn’t expecting anything from him,” Busy explained. “But what we ended up doing was creating our own system.” That’s right, folks, they didn’t just throw in the towel. They worked together to figure out what would work best for their family.

Creating Their Own System
This system allowed the former Freaks and Geeks star and Marc to divide their time with the kids in a way that suited them both. “He made the call: He should be the one to stay home with the kids,” Busy said. And it turns out, this decision was a game-changer. They’re still together today, proving that sometimes a little compromise and teamwork can go a long way.
“He now loves his mornings with the girls,” Busy gushed about Marc. “He’ll make my Bulletproof coffee and bring it into the bedroom while I’m still sleeping, and then leave to take the kids to school. He has conversations with them that I’m jealous of. The closeness he now has with these girls, it’s really special.” It’s heartwarming to hear how much Marc has grown into his role as a father and how much it means to Busy to see him connect with their daughters in such a meaningful way.

Life in Their Household Now
Marc and the kids have formed such a tight bond that Busy doesn’t want it to end. “Sometimes I’ve wondered about Marc taking over Birdie’s bedtime. I’ve thought to myself, ‘Is this the right thing for her?’” she noted. “But I’m not going to call him out on what I think is right or wrong because he’s doing it!” Can you blame her? It’s all about letting Marc shine as the father he’s become.
