The site had no additional details about her filing but it is likely complicated as the exes share two children.

The Meyer family has not had it easy this year as Jennifer’s dad Ron left his job as NBCUniversal Vice Chairman after disclosing an affair. The executive worked at the company for 25 years and left amid an alleged extortion plot, according to Vanity Fair.   

Jennifer and Tobey started dating in 2003 and wed in 2007. 

They have two children together: daughter Ruby, aged 13, and son Otis, aged 11.

At the time they released a statement to People that read: ‘After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. 

‘As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.’   

Tobey – who has been dating Tatiana Dieteman since 2018 -has talked about wanting ‘security and comfort’ in his life following a rocky childhood. 

His parents were teenagers when he was born and split when he was only three; he had a tumultuous upbringing as a result. His family were ‘very poor’ and at one point spent time in a shelter.

He explained at the time: ‘Growing up the way I did, I had a very serious ambition to make some money, to have some security and comfort in my life.’

He had a drug and alcohol problem during his teenage years, but told the Guardian in 2013: ‘I stopped consuming any mind-altering substances when I was 19 years old. And I’ve been abstinent since then.’

When asked if he drinks alcohol, he replied: ‘Not at all. And I’m a vegan.’

In 2007 Maguire told David Letterman he loved his new life as husband and father. ‘It’s a very dramatic change,’ said the former child model and actor. My whole life is in transition now with friendships and where I’m gonna live, you know, just your whole perspective. It’s great.’ 

Tobey is best known for his film Spider-Man, which was the biggest movie of 2003, grossing over $400 million. 

He is a longtime friend of Leonardo DiCaprio, who he met in the 1990s when they were both still child actors.

They went on to star together in 2013’s The Great Gatsby.  

Meyer works as a jewelry designer and her close friends are Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
