Two kids, one famous dad, and a decade-long divorce that just wrapped up this year.
Tobey Maguire has two children with ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, daughter Ruby Sweetheart Maguire and son Otis Tobias Maguire, born in 2006 and 2009. The former couple married in Hawaii on Sept. 3, 2007, separated in 2016, and finally finalized their divorce on Oct. 1, 2026, in Los Angeles.

Tobey Maguire kids grew up mostly away from cameras
People's detailed family profile names Ruby Sweetheart as the couple's first child and Otis Tobias as their second. The outlet's in-depth section lists Ruby's birth date as Nov. 10, 2006, though a summary line on the same page says 2007, a small discrepancy that has followed the family's public record for years. Otis arrived later, on May 8, 2009, according to that same People feature.
Both kids have stayed mostly private. Unlike their father, who became a household name playing Peter Parker in the original Spider-Man trilogy, Ruby and Otis have not pursued public entertainment careers based on available reporting. Most coverage treats them as private young people who occasionally appear in photos tied to their parents' milestones, not as public figures in their own right.

Marriage, split, and years of waiting on paper
Maguire and Meyer met in 2003, according to related coverage, and married four years later in Hawaii. Meyer, a jewelry designer and daughter of former Universal Studios president Ron Meyer, built a life with Maguire that included two children born across the span of their marriage. Ruby came first, then Otis two years later, fitting neatly between their 2007 wedding and their eventual 2016 separation.
That separation became public in October 2016. The pair said the decision followed "much soul searching and consideration," and promised to keep raising their children with "enduring love, respect and friendship." That language stuck around for years as the defining tone of their post-marriage relationship, even as the legal process dragged on far longer than anyone expected.
Meyer filed for divorce in October 2020, citing irreconcilable differences, nearly four years after the couple first split. Maguire did not file his response until July 2025, when he asked for joint legal and physical custody of Otis, who was still a minor at the time. The available records do not show a separate custody fight over Ruby, who was already approaching adulthood.
A private judge, a quiet settlement, and a final judgment
By September 2026, the case started moving fast. Court documents filed Sept. 18, 2026, showed Meyer and Maguire had agreed to bring in a private judge to settle whatever disputes remained. That step signaled they were close to ending a legal process that had technically stayed open for a decade.
Their marital status was officially terminated Sept. 21, 2026. The formal judgment landed days later, filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court on Oct. 1, 2026. Court papers reviewed by Entertainment Weekly included the blunt legal line: "Marital or domestic partnership status is terminated." Ten years after announcing their split, and six years after Meyer first filed, Maguire and Meyer were both legally single again.
Ruby and Otis stood beside their mother days later
Just weeks after the divorce was finalized, Meyer married businessman Geoffrey Ogunlesi in Hawaii. Maguire officiated the ceremony himself, a detail that multiple outlets highlighted as proof the former couple had kept their promise to stay close as parents. Ruby, now 19, and Otis, now 17, were both present at their mother's wedding, according to coverage from People and other outlets covering the event.
That appearance gave the public its clearest recent look at the two kids together. Reporting around the wedding consistently lists Ruby Sweetheart as 19 and Otis Tobias as 17, ages that align with birth years of 2006 and 2009. Meyer herself has continued describing Maguire as one of the closest people in her life, even years after their marriage ended, a detail that fits the cooperative tone the family has kept since 2016.
What the family's quiet story says going forward
Nothing in the current record points to Ruby or Otis stepping into public life beyond these rare family appearances. No verified statements from either child exist in available reporting, and neither has announced plans tied to school, career, or relationships that would justify further speculation.
What is confirmed is simple. Tobey Maguire's kids, Ruby Sweetheart and Otis Tobias, spent their childhoods watching their parents separate, slowly work through a long legal process, and still show up for each other at major family moments. Their mother's wedding, with both kids present and their father officiating, closed one chapter of the family's story while leaving their personal lives exactly where they've mostly stayed: out of the spotlight.
