Tobey Maguire and Pregnant Ex-Wife Jennifer Meyer Enjoy Family Dinner in Santa Monica
Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire, 50, and his pregnant ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, 48, enjoyed a lowkey reunion with their two children for dinner in Santa Monica over the weekend. The former couple, who divorced in 2020 after nine years of marriage, were seen exiting the Italian hotspot Giorgio Baldi with their daughter Ruby, 19, and son Otis, 16.
Casual Outfits and Growing Baby Bump
Maguire kept his look casual for the evening, wearing a black sweatshirt, black trousers, and Nike sneakers, topped with a black cap. Meyer showed off her growing baby bump in a black shirt, baggy pants, and a denim jacket. The jewelry designer was also joined by her billionaire heir fiancé Geoffrey Ogunlesi, with whom she is expecting her third child and their first together.
Background on Meyer's Pregnancy and Relationship
Late last year in December, Meyer announced her pregnancy on Instagram, posting a photo with the caption, 'Hey baby girl, We love love love you!!' Ogunlesi excitedly commented, 'WE LOVE YOU.' Ogunlesi comes from a wealthy family; his father is Nigerian lawyer and investment banker Adebayo Ogunlesi, estimated to have a net worth of $2.3 billion.
History of Maguire and Meyer's Relationship
Maguire and Meyer first met in 2003 on the set of Seabiscuit at Universal Studios. They became engaged in 2006, married in 2007 in Hawaii, and announced their separation in 2016, finalizing their divorce in 2020. In a statement to People at the time of the split, they said, 'After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.'
Positive Co-Parenting Relationship
Meyer has frequently praised her co-parenting relationship with Maguire, calling him her 'best friend' on The Inside Edit podcast. She stated, '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.' She added that Maguire is 'the best dad, the best ex-husband, the best friend [and] the most generous.'
Reflecting on their divorce, Meyer revealed it has been 'one of my greatest teachers,' teaching patience and requiring them to stay connected while raising their children. She admitted they faced 'some big hurdles' after separation but emphasized, 'He is wonderful and I got lucky for that. My life was not easy every day, and I'm sure he would say the same thing.'
Recent Family Dynamics and Activities
In 2022, on The World's First podcast, Meyer discussed the challenges of co-parenting, saying, 'It was a choice, and it was trusting in, like, the universe has got our back, but let me tell you something, the work is a motherf***er.' She noted they now communicate openly about their significant others and daily issues.
Meyer has shared glimpses of their positive co-parenting on Instagram, including a photo last year with Ruby, Maguire, and Ogunlesi. Ruby is reportedly attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Earlier this year, Maguire and Meyer reunited in February to spend time with Otis in Beverly Hills.
This family dinner in Santa Monica highlights their ongoing commitment to co-parenting, even as Meyer prepares to welcome a new child with Ogunlesi, and Maguire continues his life post-divorce, recently seen flirting with influencer Mishka Silva last month.
