Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer are on the brink of finalising their divorce nearly ten years after their initial separation. The former couple, who share two children, daughter Ruby, aged 19, and son Otis, 17, have made significant progress towards dissolving their marital ties. Meyer recently submitted documents to the Los Angeles County Superior Court indicating that they have reached a mutual agreement concerning their divorce proceedings.

The couple’s relationship began to deteriorate in 2016, leading to their split, while Meyer took the formal step of filing for divorce in 2020. After a lengthy separation period, Meyer’s recent court filings confirm that they have settled on the dissolution of their marriage status. However, they plan to engage a private judge to help resolve any outstanding issues concerning their overall settlement.
Maguire and Meyer first tied the knot in 2007, and their subsequent separation became a point of public interest, especially given their high-profile lifestyles. The couple has since grown apart but continues to prioritise co-parenting their children, a sentiment that Meyer has expressed on various occasions.
In June 2025, Meyer shared the happy news of welcoming a new child with her fiancé, Geoff Ogunlesi. This announcement came on Father’s Day, adding to the family’s dynamics and indicating that both parties are moving on positively in their personal lives since the separation.
Meyer spoke candidly about her experience with divorce on the podcast “The Inside Edit,” hosted by her friend Maeve Reilly, who happens to be a well-known celebrity stylist. During the discussion, Meyer reflected on how actress Gwyneth Paltrow inspired her view of divorce, suggesting that it could lead to a better environment for their children. Paltrow introduced Meyer to Dr. Habib Sadeghi, whose guidance has helped her navigate the complexities of their relationship post-separation.
Meyer recounted a pivotal moment in her journey, revealing that she suggested couples therapy to Maguire following her discussions with Sadeghi. “I now have an ex-husband who is my best friend and would do anything for me,” she noted. This quote encapsulates the amicable relationship they have managed to maintain despite their fractured marriage.
In the same podcast episode, Meyer praised Maguire, calling him “the best dad, the best ex-husband, and the most generous.” She highlighted the positive relationship he shares with Ogunlesi, which demonstrates their commitment to creating a supportive environment for their children. Meyer even disclosed that she, Ogunlesi, and their children sought refuge at Maguire’s Los Angeles home during the wildfires that swept through parts of California in early 2025, indicating a unique familial bond that remains intact despite the divorce.
Reflecting on this experience, Meyer expressed gratitude for the life they have managed to create together, even post-separation. She painted a picture of domestic harmony where they can coexist and support one another as friends. “It was the greatest,” she enthused about their time together during that difficult period, adding that it felt surreal to witness Maguire and Ogunlesi enjoying a casual movie night at home.
Maguire and Meyer’s situation illustrates a growing trend where divorced couples strive to maintain amicable relationships for the sake of their children. By fostering goodwill and mutual respect, they exemplify how a conscious uncoupling can lead to a healthier family environment, benefiting all parties involved, particularly their children.
As they move toward finalising their divorce, both Maguire and Meyer appear focused on the well-being of their family, demonstrating that even amid personal challenges, co-parenting with love and respect can prevail.
