August 2, 2025: Actor Tobey Maguire has officially filed a response to his estranged wife Jennifer Meyer’s 2020 divorce filing, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their 15-year-old son, Otis. The filing, which comes nearly a decade after the couple announced their separation, also asks for child and spousal support to be determined through private mediation.
Maguire, 50, and Meyer, 48, were married in 2007 and announced their split in 2016. Despite the divorce proceedings, the two have maintained a remarkably close and friendly relationship, famously co-parenting their two children, including their 18-year-old daughter, Ruby.
In a 2022 podcast appearance, Meyer, who recently got engaged to Geoffrey Ogunlesi, spoke highly of her ex-husband. “He’s my best friend. He’s the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have,” she said, adding, “I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death, and we have the most beautiful family.” The couple’s joint statement upon their separation emphasized their commitment to co-parenting with “enduring love, respect and friendship.”
