Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire, famous for playing Spider-Man, has taken an unusual role in his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer’s love story, officiating her wedding to Nigerian billionaire’s son, Geoffrey Ogunlesi, weeks after their divorce was finalised.
Maguire reportedly led Meyer and Ogunlesi through their wedding vows at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai in Hawaii on Saturday, October 10, in a ceremony attended by several high-profile celebrities.
According to entertainment outlet E! News, the wedding came just days after court documents showed that Maguire and Meyer’s marriage had officially ended on October 1, bringing their marriage to a legal close nearly nine years after they announced their separation.
The former couple married in 2007 and announced their split in 2016. However, rather than allow their separation to destroy their relationship, they worked to maintain a close bond while raising their two children.
‘MY BEST FRIEND’
Meyer, a jewellery designer, has previously described Maguire as her best friend, revealing that the former couple had to overcome significant challenges to preserve their relationship after their marriage ended.
Speaking on the Inside Edit podcast in December 2025, she said maintaining their connection was particularly important as they navigated the demands of raising their children, Ruby and Otis.
“Our daughter was 10 or something. Those are some intense times that you need to stay connected. And then we had a son who was 7. You’re raising kids at an intense time,” she said.
Meyer admitted that the process was not always smooth, noting that both of them had to work through difficult moments while adjusting to life after their separation.
“It was not easy every day, and I’m sure he would say the same thing, 100 per cent. We definitely had to overcome some big hurdles,” she said.
She disclosed that they attended therapy together, which helped them navigate their differences and sustain their relationship.
“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.
Their closeness has reportedly continued even as they moved on with their personal lives.
In an interview with People magazine in May, Meyer revealed that the former couple still celebrated important occasions together, including holidays and birthdays.
“We travel all together. We have every holiday together. We have every birthday all together,” she said.
She also praised Maguire’s role as a father and said he had developed a good relationship with her new husband.
“He is an incredible father. He is an incredible ex-husband. And Geoff loves him, and he loves Geoff. And so everything just works,” she said.
OGUNLESI’S BILLIONAIRE FAMILY
Meyer’s new husband, Geoffrey Ogunlesi, is the son of Adebayo Ogunlesi, a Nigerian billionaire lawyer and investment banker.
The wedding reportedly attracted a star-studded guest list, including Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, actress Courteney Cox, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
Meyer and Maguire share two children, Ruby, 19, and Otis, 17.
The wedding also came about five months after Meyer and Ogunlesi welcomed a daughter together, according to E! News.
Meyer announced the arrival of their baby girl in a Father’s Day tribute to Ogunlesi, expressing her happiness over their new addition.
“We love you the most @geoffo212. Happy Father’s Day. A perfect month with our perfect baby girl,” she wrote.
Maguire’s reported decision to officiate his former wife’s wedding has drawn attention to the unusually close relationship the pair have maintained after ending their marriage, with their shared commitment to family remaining a central part of their lives.
