Jennifer Meyer, the former spouse of actor Tobey Maguire, has revealed she is expecting her third child at the age of 48. The jewellery designer and daughter of CAA co-founder Ronald Meyer made the announcement via Instagram on Friday, sharing the news that she is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Geoff Ogunlesi.
A Joyful Announcement on Social Media
Meyer posted three images to her Instagram account, with the caption "Hey baby girl. We love love love you!!" The photos showcased her baby bump, with the final picture featuring her fiancé, Geoff Ogunlesi, tenderly holding her stomach. Ogunlesi is the founder of the Ogunlesi Group, a music and entertainment management company, and is the son of Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2024 after a year of dating, with Meyer sharing a photo of her emerald-cut diamond ring. They had made their official red carpet debut earlier, at the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023, where Meyer serves as a board member for the Los Angeles charity.
Navigating Pregnancy Later in Life
Meyer's pregnancy at 48 highlights a topic of significant medical and public interest. According to experts like those at the Mayo Clinic, fertility naturally declines after the age of 35 due to a reduced quantity of eggs. By the mid-40s, achieving a natural pregnancy becomes far less common, with many women turning to assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or donor eggs.
This will be Meyer's third child; she already shares two children with ex-husband Tobey Maguire: daughter Ruby, 19, and son Otis, 16. Meyer and the Spider-Man actor were married from 2007 to 2016, though she did not formally file for divorce until October 2020. The former couple have consistently described their co-parenting relationship as amicable and dedicated.
Celebrity Reactions and Family Dynamics
The pregnancy announcement was swiftly celebrated by friends and fellow celebrities in the comments section of the post. Actress Jenna Dewan wrote, "I am crying!!!!! So happy for you!!", while fashion influencer Sofia Richie-Grainge exclaimed, "So happy ahhhh!!!!"
In a notable testament to their modern family dynamic, Meyer has previously spoken warmly about her relationship with Maguire post-divorce, calling it "the most beautiful experience of my life" in a 2022 podcast interview. She even revealed that Maguire and Ogunlesi have formed a close bond, often spending time together watching films at her home.
Jennifer Meyer continues to balance her roles as a successful jewellery designer, a devoted mother, and now, an expectant parent embarking on a new chapter with her fiancé.
