Tobey Maguire has found an unexpected supporter in his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer amid swirling rumors about him dating a 20-year-old model. The internet buzzed with gossip over the weekend when Tobey was spotted leaving a Fourth of July party with model Lily Chee, who is 29 years younger than him.
The photos quickly led to speculation, with many assuming that Tobey and Lily were an item. Despite the chatter, there were no other details about their night at the party to confirm any romantic involvement. Jennifer Meyer, however, decided to address these rumors head-on and set the record straight.
In a seemingly now-deleted reply on her jewelry brand’s Instagram page, Jennifer responded to a rather harsh comment. The exchange was captured and shared on Reddit before it disappeared. The comment read, “Why is your ex husband banging someone 3 years older than your daughter.”
Jennifer’s response was swift and pointed:
“I don’t usually respond to such nonsense, but he was kindly helping a friend to her car. Being a good guy. And now he has blasted online for dating someone he is not. But thank you for your rude comments. I hope it made you feel better today. Wishing you love and light.”
Jennifer’s defense of Tobey highlights the cordial relationship they maintain despite their separation. The former couple married in 2007 and separated in 2016, finalizing their divorce in 2020. They share two children, Ruby and Otis, and have clearly prioritized their co-parenting relationship over the drama of their personal lives.
