Before her engagement to Ogunlesi, Meyer was married to Tobey Maguire from 2007 until 2016. The divorce process officially began in October 2020, with Meyer seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two children, daughter Ruby and son Otis.

Despite their separation, Meyer and Maguire have maintained a cooperative parenting relationship. In 2022, Meyer discussed her divorce on the podcast “The World’s First Podcast,” describing it as “the most beautiful experience of my life.”

During the podcast, Meyer highlighted her affection for Maguire, stating, “I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death and we have the most beautiful family.” She acknowledged the hard work that went into their co-parenting arrangement but emphasized the importance of trust and perspective in their journey.

Meyer noted, “It was a choice and it was trusting in, like, the universe has got our back.” Their amicable relationship serves as a testament to their commitment to their family, even after their romantic ties have concluded.
