Meet the Real-Life Loves and Children of the American Pie Cast

The classic teen movie premiered on this day in 1999 — and in the 25 years since, many of its stars have gone on to raise families of their own

Since the classic comedy American Pie came out 25 years ago on July 9, 1999, many of the film's former teen stars have gone on to have families of their own — though perhaps none as perfectly hilarious and cringe as Eugene Levy and Jason Biggs' Noah and Jim Levenstein.

"Wherever I travel, people want to talk to me about it," Biggs recently told PEOPLE. "There's now another one or two generations of people that have seen the movie, identified with the movie, liked the movie. It's been a really, really special thing for me. It's very cool to be here 25 years later and still talking about it."

As Biggs continues raising his two sons with wife and author Jenny Mollen and several of his castmates have started families of their own, see the stars of American Pie alongside their real-life partners and children.

Actors Alyson Hannigan (American Pie's Michelle) and Alexis Denisof had a very Hollywood meet-cute on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the late '90s. Hannigan, now 50, starred on the series as the witch Willow, and Denisof, now 58, played the watcher Westley Wyndam-Price. Hannigan once said it was “flirtation at first sight.”

The stars wed in 2003, and have since welcomed two daughters, Satyana Marie and Keeva Jane. They've also shared the screen on other pop culture favorites, including her series How I Met Your Mother.
