Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer are officially single again after a Los Angeles court ended their marriage nearly a decade after they separated.
Page Six reports that a judgment of dissolution was entered for the former couple, terminating their marital status as of Sept. 21 and restoring both to single persons under California law.
The judgment was officially filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. The filing closes the legal chapter on a marriage that had already been over in practice for years, while still leaving other divorce issues for later resolution.
Court documents obtained in the reporting state the core outcome in plain terms.
Attribution before the record matters here. The filing reads:
"Judgment of dissolution is entered. Marital or domestic partnership status is terminated and the parties are restored to the status of single persons,"
The exes used a bifurcation, a common California step that ends the marriage itself first while parking remaining disputes for separate handling. The court kept power over everything else raised in the case.
The same documents state:
"The Court shall reserve jurisdiction to hear and determine all issues raised by the Petition and Response herein, other than dissolution of the parties’ marital status,"
Those papers do not spell out which issues are still open. Property, support, or other terms can sit in that reserved pile. Maguire and Meyer had earlier agreed to use a private judge to mediate leftover disputes, according to prior reporting on the matter.
Maguire, 51, and Meyer, 49, separated in 2016 after nine years of marriage. The split was already nearly a decade old by the time the dissolution judgment landed.
Meyer filed for divorce in October 2020, four years after they parted. That gap between separation, filing, and final status change is the through-line of the story: private life moved on long before the court stamped the end of the marriage.
At the time they separated, the couple issued a joint statement that put the children first.
They said:
"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."
They share daughter Ruby, 19, and son Otis, 17. Nothing in the new filing revisits custody or parenting terms in public detail.
Meyer, a jewelry designer, is engaged to music executive Geoffrey Ogunlesi. They got engaged in August 2024 and welcomed a baby girl earlier this year, their first child together.
That personal timeline sat alongside a divorce docket that still needed a formal end to marital status. The September judgment supplies that end. It does not, on the public face of the documents described, wrap every remaining issue in the petition and response.
Maguire remains widely known for the “Spider-Man” films that made him a global star. Meyer built a public profile in design while the two co-parented after 2016. The court action does not litigate fame. It records a legal status both had lived without for years.
As of Sept. 21, Maguire and Meyer are single in the eyes of the Los Angeles Superior Court. The Thursday filing made that judgment official.
Bifurcation means the marriage is over even if money, assets, or other claims still need work. The court kept jurisdiction on every issue other than the dissolution itself. Which of those issues still need a hearing or a private-judge session is not listed in the excerpts reported.
For readers tracking Hollywood splits, the pattern is familiar: separation first, filing later, final paperwork years after the household already changed. This case followed that path from 2016 to 2020 to the September termination date.
Parents who separate and still put kids first deserve credit when they say so and stick to it. Courts that take a decade to match paperwork to real life remind everyone else why process without urgency frustrates ordinary families too.
