Tobey Maguire's ex-wife Jennifer Meyer is engaged to Geoffrey Ogunlesi, the son of Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi.
The 47-year-old jewelry designer took to Instagram on Aug. 31 to announce her engagement. “YES!” she wrote simply in the caption of the post, along with a white heart emoji, an infinity symbol emoji, and a sparkle emoji.
The post included a photo of the couple, who were reportedly first linked in the summer of 2023, embracing in front of an ornate table. Meyer and Ogunlesi posed in what appeared to be a restaurant, while the table behind them was decorated with candles, white roses and elegant place settings.
For the special occasion, the mother of two wore a black mini dress by Miu Miu. A black jewelry box could also be seen on the table in the photo, as Meyer showed off her diamond engagement ring to the camera.
In the comments section, several fans and celebrities were quick to congratulate the couple on their upcoming nuptials.
“I’m so happy for you!” wrote actress Olivia Munn.
“Congratulations,” Paris Hilton said, along with a champagne bottle emoji and two red heart emojis.
“I’m so incredibly happy for you! CONGRATULATIONS!” commented singer Kelly Rowland.
Oscar winner Goldie Hawn shared her congratulations, writing: “This makes us all so happy. Love you all!!!” Meanwhile, daughter Kate Hudson simply left a series of red heart emojis.
Responding to a fan's comment about her engagement ring, Meyer said Ogunlesi had taken it all off himself. “It was all him! It was a total surprise,” she said.
Meyer and Ogunlesi made their red carpet debut as a couple at the annual Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023, where Meyer serves as a board member of the Los Angeles-based nonprofit.
Her current fiancé is the founder and CEO of The Ogunlesi Group, a music and entertainment management company. Her father is Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi, a lawyer and investment banker who co-founded private equity firm Global Infrastructure Partners, which owns London's Gatwick Airport.
According ForbesOgunlesi's father has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion. In January this year, BlackRock Inc. acquired Global Infrastructure Partners in a deal estimated at $12.5 billion.
Meyer was previously married to the Spiderman actor from 2007 to 2016. She did not officially file for divorce from Maguire until October 2020, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their two children: daughter Ruby, born in November 2006, and son Otis, born in May 2009.
Since then, the former couple has maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship. In 2022, Meyer shared on an episode of The world's first podcast that her divorce from Maguire has been “the most beautiful experience of my life.”
“I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He’s my brother. I love him to death and we have the most beautiful family,” Meyer told podcast co-hosts Sara and Erin Foster at the time. “The job sucks. I’m not going to lie. And we work so hard to stay on the right path and still be a family.
“It was a choice and a trust, as if the universe was there to support us,” he said.
