Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer isn’t just coparenting with ex-husband Tobey Maguire — she’s calling him her best friend, and she has the wedding photos with her new husband, Geoffrey Ogunlesi, to prove it.
Meyer and Maguire, who share daughter Ruby and son Otis, were married from 2007 to 2016 when they separated.
“He’s my best friend,” she exclusively told Us in January 2018. “He’s the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have.”
Meyer and Maguire finalized their divorce in October 2026, weeks before her wedding to the founder and CEO of The Ogunlesi Group that the Spider-Man actor officiated.

Jennifer Meyer Calls Tobey Maguire Divorce a ‘Teacher’
Meyer revealed on the “Inside Edit” podcast in December 2025 that she’s come to view the end of her marriage as a formative experience instead of a loss.
“I actually think that my divorce has been one of my greatest teachers,” she said. “It teaches you patience, and you’re also raising [kids together]. Our daughter was 10 or something, so those are some intense times that you need to stay connected.”
There was no single incident that broke them, with Meyer noting, “it was just time to call it.”
“It was hard because we really loved each other and cared about each other,” she recalled. “When two people are breaking up, you kind of hate each other for a minute. You want to hate each other because you’re, like, ‘This will make the breakup easier.’”
Jennifer Meyer and Tobey Maguire Initially Kept Their Split a Secret
The exes continued living together after deciding to separate, Meyer revealed, because they weren’t ready to tell their children.
“[After] Tobey and I had broken up, we were still living together,” she said on the “Inside Edit” podcast in 2025. “We didn’t tell anybody because we didn’t want the kids to know. It was this weird time, and everything happens all at the same time. It’s complicated when you’re breaking up after being together for 14 years and building your whole life.”

A visit to Paltrow’s home gave Meyer a vision for what post-divorce life could look like. She recalled to podcast host Maeve Reilly how she walked into Paltrow’s kitchen and Martin arrived to help their daughter, Apple, complete homework.
“My parents got divorced, and this never happened. It was like war,” Meyer said. “It wasn’t, like, ‘Come on over. Here’s a key.’ … Everyone is one big happy family, and I’m, like, ‘This is possible, this is a world I want. I’m going to make this happen.’”
Paltrow later referred Meyer to a couple’s therapist, whom Meyer and Maguire saw on and off for several years.

“I now have an ex-husband who is my best friend and would do anything for me, and I would do anything for him—anything in the world,” Meyer said in 2025. “[He is] the best dad, the best ex-husband, the best friend [and] the most generous.”
Reilly described Maguire as a quiet fixture at family celebrations, adding, “He’s at the house, he’s at every celebration [and] every birthday. Tobey’s there and he’s in the corner. He’s doing his own thing. He’s, like, ‘Jen’s the start of the show,’ and he’s just there. He’s just supportive and lovely.”

Then, Geoff and I went to stay with Tobey’s best friend next door [to have more space]. We’re all living on this compound. It was the greatest.”
