Who is Tobey Maguire’s ex-wife?
Tobey Maguire was previously married to Jennifer Meyer. She is a renowned jewelry designer, and her creations have been worn by A-listers such as Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon and Selena Gomez.
Jennifer was taught how to make jewelry thanks to her grandmother Edith Meyer at the young age of six.
She ended up graduating from Syracuse University, where she studied family psychology. Jennifer then made the bold decision to move to Los Angeles and began creating jewelry under Ralph Lauren.

What has Jennifer said about their divorce?
Jennifer got candid about her divorce while speaking on The Inside Edit podcast.
She revealed: “I actually think that my divorce has been one of my greatest teachers, because it teaches you patience. 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 seven.”
Jennifer recalled the hardships she faced and said: “It’s like you’re raising kids at an intense time. But he is wonderful and I got lucky for that. And my life— it was not easy every day, and I’m sure he would say the same thing, 100 percent, and we definitely had to overcome some big hurdles.”

How has their bond been since their divorce?
Jennifer expressed that it was visiting Gwyneth Paltrow and personally learning about “conscious uncoupling,” that inspired her to make a change.
Gwyneth got Jennifer acquainted with Dr. Habib Sadeghi for help.
She revealed: “Everyone was making fun of conscious uncoupling at the time, but joke’s on them. Joke’s on those people making fun of it. I called [Dr. Habib] and then I had to say to Tobey, ‘Hey, we’re going to go to couple’s therapy.'”
Jennifer concluded: “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.”
The jewelry designer showed admiration for Tobey as a father. She added: “[He’s] the best dad, the best ex-husband, the best friend, the most generous.”
