AceShowbiz - After photos of Tobey Maguire with 20-year-old model Lily Chee at Michael Rubin's Fourth of July party sparked rumors of a new romance, Maguire's ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer, stepped up to set the record straight. Meyer, 47, responded to a comment accusing Maguire of dating someone older than their daughter.
She clarified that he was simply "kindly helping" Chee to her car. "I don't usually respond to such nonsense, but he was being a good guy," Meyer wrote on Instagram, debunking the dating speculation.
Despite the age gap between Maguire, 49, and Chee, Meyer maintained that Maguire is "as good of a guy as it gets." She emphasized her ex-husband's character and defended his actions, saying that he has been "blasted online for dating someone he is not."
Maguire and Meyer were married for nine years and have two children together. They separated in 2016 and divorced in 2020, and have remained amicable ex-spouses. Meyer has previously spoken about the close bond they share, describing Maguire as "her brother" and stating that they have "the most beautiful family."
Meyer's defense of Maguire aligns with her previous comments about their post-divorce relationship. In an interview in 2022, she said, "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."
While Maguire and Chee have not publicly addressed the rumors, Meyer's comments suggest that there is no romantic involvement between the two and that Maguire's actions were simply those of a gentleman.
