“He’s Peter Parker in Real Life,” Fans React as Tobey Maguire Officiates Ex-Wife’s Wedding

A Hollywood star stood beside a Hawaiian altar on Saturday, October 10, holding a single sheet of paper while a bride in a strapless white gown faced her groom in a black suit and bow tie. The setting was the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, and the person reading from that page had known the bride for more than two decades. His part in the day became the detail the internet could not stop discussing.

The guest list read like a red carpet roster. Leonardo DiCaprio arrived with girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Jeff Bezos attended with his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos, and Courteney Cox was photographed greeting the bride. Kate Hudson came with fiancé Danny Fujikawa, and stylist Rachel Zoe was there too. Yet when photos began circulating online, the attention went to one man at the front, and the jokes started almost immediately.

The bride is Jennifer Meyer, 49, a jewelry designer and the daughter of longtime Hollywood executive Ron Meyer. The groom is Geoffrey Ogunlesi, 34, a music executive whose father is Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi. It was their day by every measure, but the comment sections belonged to the officiant. The reason traces back to a movie set in 2003, and to a stack of legal paperwork finished just weeks before the ceremony.

They Met on the Set of Seabiscuit in 2003, and Their Divorce Became Final Just 19 Days Before the Ceremony

Tobey Maguire met Meyer in 2003 while filming the Depression-era horse racing drama Seabiscuit. They got engaged in 2006, welcomed daughter Ruby that November, and married in Kona, Hawaii, in 2007, the same year Spider-Man 3 reached theaters. Son Otis arrived in 2009. The marriage held steady in public view for nine years. In October 2016, the couple released a joint statement that included a promise about their children.

The statement named raising their kids together with “enduring love, respect and friendship” as the first priority. Meyer filed for divorce in 2020, yet the legal process stretched on for years. The split became official on September 21, 2026, just 19 days before the Hawaii ceremony. By then, Meyer had been with someone new for more than three years and had already announced a pregnancy the previous December.

Geoffrey Ogunlesi entered the picture in the summer of 2023, when he and Meyer were first linked publicly. He founded The Ogunlesi Group, a Los Angeles music and entertainment management firm, in 2022 and serves as its CEO. They got engaged in August 2024, with Meyer saying he arranged the proposal and chose the ring himself. A baby girl, their first child together, arrived in 2026. Meyer has spoken openly, in several interviews, about where Maguire fits inside that household.

Meyer Called Maguire “the Most A+ Human Being I Know” Five Months Before He Officiated Her Wedding

In May, Meyer told People how the two households operate, and her praise for Maguire was strong. She called him “the most A+ human being I know.” She said that from the start, the former spouses agreed that staying present in each other’s lives mattered, with Ruby and Otis as the priority. According to Meyer, that agreement shaped every holiday that followed, and the details of those gatherings go further than most people would expect.

Meyer said both families celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays together, and they travel together too. “We have every birthday all together,” she told People. Maguire and Ogunlesi are part of that picture as well. In a separate interview, Meyer said, “Tobey and my fiance, Geoff, love each other so much.” The two men have built a friendship of their own, and an earlier podcast appearance put the bond into even sharper words.

On The Inside Edit podcast in December 2025, Meyer described Maguire as her best friend, someone who would do anything for her. Ruby, 19, and Otis, 17, were both at the Lanai ceremony, along with the couple’s infant daughter. With the whole family gathered and Maguire holding his page at the front, social media got to work. The first comparison to a famous movie plot appeared almost as soon as the photos did.

One X User Called It “Basically His Entire Spiderman Storyline,” and the Jokes Kept Coming

That plot belongs to the original Spider-Man film, where Maguire’s Peter Parker carries a crush on neighbor Mary Jane Watson, played by Kirsten Dunst, whose boyfriend is Peter’s close friend Harry Osborn, played by James Franco. “To be fair, this was basically his entire Spiderman storyline,” one X user wrote. Another commenter put the whole reaction into one line: “He’s Peter Parker in real life.” A third post turned to money.

That post read, “That’s one way to make sure you don’t have to pay alimony.” The joke has a timing problem, since the divorce had been final for weeks by the time vows were exchanged, but it spread anyway. The reactions stuck because Maguire’s run as Peter Parker is still vivid for fans. He starred in three Spider-Man films between 2002 and 2007, then returned to the role in 2021’s No Way Home.

The ceremony photos show Maguire with his page in hand while the bride and groom embrace. Behind that page sit a 2003 film set, nine years of marriage, a decade of separation, and a divorce that closed 19 days earlier. Meyer has married twice in her life, and the same man stood at the front of both ceremonies. In 2007, he was the groom. In 2026, he was the officiant.
