Tobey Maguire‘s ex-wife Jennifer Meyer appears to defend him years after their split. The defense comes days after the Spider-Man actor was spotted at Michael Rubin’s 4th of July party in the Hamptons. In one photo, he’s seen with his arm around Lily Chee‘s waist and escorting her to a car.
The photos went viral online with netizens noticing that there was an age gap between Chee and Maguire—Chee being 20 and Maguire being 49. “i wouldn’t say that huge age gaps between adults are inherently suspicious but the way the GAP between tobey and lily chee is 9 years MORE than her entire age,” one person posted on X.
One troll commented on Tobey Maguire’s ex-wife Jennifer Meyer’s Instagram, “Why is your ex husband banging someone 3 years older than your daughter[?]” In a reply comment that has since been deleted, she wrote, “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.”
Some sources told outlets that the two are not seeing each other seriously. “Tobey and Lily are very not serious, they went to the white party together, but didn’t see each other the rest of the weekend,” one source told Us Weekly. “Tobey knew Lily and her girlfriends were invited to the party and they planned to hangout and meet up. He was introduced to her through [businessman] Richie Akiva and mutual friends.”
Jennifer Meyer and Tobey Maguire were married from 2007 to 2016. Meyer filed for divorce in 2020. In a statement given to People in 2016, the couple said: “After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple.” They two children, 17-year-old Ruby and 15-year-old Otis, added, “As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.”
