Spiderman Actor Officiates Ex-Wife’s Wedding Weeks After Divorce: What Happened
Tobey Maguire, the actor who played Spider-Man in Sam Raimi’s film trilogy, has officiated his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer’s wedding to Nigerian businessman Geoff Ogunlesi, just weeks after their divorce was finalised.
Meyer, a jewellery designer, married Ogunlesi on October 10, 2026, in Hawaii. Maguire took on the unexpected role of officiating the ceremony, drawing attention to the relationship he has maintained with Meyer since their separation.
The former couple announced their separation in 2016 after nine years of marriage. Despite their divorce, they have maintained a relationship while raising their two children.
Here is what to know about the wedding, their relationship and the Nigerian connection.
Why did the Spider-Man actor officiate his ex-wife’s wedding?
Maguire’s decision to officiate Meyer’s wedding has attracted attention because of their history as a married couple.
However, reports have not established his specific reasons for accepting the role. Their relationship after separation offers some context for his participation in the ceremony.
Meyer has previously spoken positively about Maguire, describing him as an incredible father and ex-husband. She has also discussed their friendship and commitment to raising their children together.
In a previous interview, Meyer described Maguire as her best friend and said he and Ogunlesi loved each other.
Their relationship appears to have remained cordial despite the end of their marriage. Maguire’s role at the wedding brought him into a family celebration marking Meyer’s new chapter with Ogunlesi.
How the Spider-Man actor’s marriage to Jennifer Meyer ended
Maguire and Meyer met in 2003 and married in 2007.
After nine years of marriage, they announced their separation in 2016. However, their relationship as co-parents continued after they went their separate ways.
Meyer filed for divorce in 2020, but the legal process took several years to conclude. Reports published in October 2026 said their divorce had been finalised in September.
The former couple share two children, Ruby and Otis. They have continued to prioritise their children and maintain a relationship beyond their marriage.
Their experience shows that the end of a marriage does not necessarily mean the end of a family’s relationship. Maguire’s participation in the wedding has brought that connection back into the public eye.
Who is Jennifer Meyer’s new husband, Geoff Ogunlesi?
Geoff Ogunlesi is a music executive and businessman. He is the son of Adebayo Ogunlesi, the Nigerian-born lawyer, investment banker and prominent investor.
Geoff has built a career in the music industry, including work associated with Warner Music Group and 300 Entertainment. He also runs The Ogunlesi Group, an entertainment and music management company.
His marriage to Meyer has brought renewed attention to his Nigerian family background.
Adebayo Ogunlesi has built an international career in finance and infrastructure investment. He became a prominent figure in global business through his work in investment banking and private equity.
Geoff’s career, meanwhile, has taken a different direction, focusing on music and entertainment.
A new chapter for Meyer and Ogunlesi
Meyer and Ogunlesi were first linked romantically in 2023. They announced their engagement in August 2024 before welcoming a daughter together in 2026.
Their wedding in Hawaii brought together family members and several prominent figures from entertainment and business.
Among the reported guests were actor Leonardo DiCaprio, actress Courteney Cox, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
However, the Spider-Man actor’s role in the ceremony became one of the most talked-about details of the event.
Maguire and Meyer had been separated for nearly a decade before their divorce was finalised. His decision to officiate her wedding has therefore drawn attention to the relationship they maintained after their marriage ended.
Although Maguire has not publicly explained his reasons for taking on the role, Meyer’s previous comments about their friendship and co-parenting provide some insight into their relationship.
The wedding marks a new chapter for Meyer and Ogunlesi, while Maguire’s participation highlights the continuing connection between the former couple and their family.
