Spider-Man Star ‘Tobey Maguire’ Officiated his Ex-Wife who said “I Do” to a Nigerian Billionaire’s Son

Plot twist alert. Three weeks after finalising their divorce, Tobey Maguire stood at a wedding altar in Hawaii. He was not the groom, though. He was the officiant, and the bride was his ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer. The man she was marrying? Geoffrey Ogunlesi, the son of Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi.

If that sounds like the plot of a Netflix series, you are not alone. So, grab a snack, because this story has a Hollywood guest list, a very big airport and a Nigerian link you might not have seen coming.

What Happened at the Wedding?

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Meyer and Ogunlesi married at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai in Hawaii. Photos cited in the report show Meyer in a strapless white gown with a veil, and Ogunlesi in a black suit and bow tie.

Maguire officiated, reading from a sheet of paper as the couple exchanged vows. Meyer’s children with Maguire, Ruby (19) and Otis (17), also took part in the ceremony. Yes, the kids were there, and yes, their dad was running the show.

The Timeline That Made the Internet Blink

• 2007: Maguire and Meyer marry in Kona, Hawaii

• 2016: They announce their separation

• Summer 2023: Meyer is first linked to Geoffrey Ogunlesi

• August 2024: The couple announces their engagement

• June 2026: They welcome a daughter

• September 21, 2026: Maguire and Meyer’s divorce judgment is entered

• October 10, 2026: The wedding takes place, with Maguire officiating

Notice the gap between the last two dates. It is only about three weeks. However, the two had been separated for a decade, and they have stayed close while co-parenting. Meyer has called Maguire “the best dad, the best ex-husband, the best friend.”

The Guest List Was Not Playing

The reported guests included Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, Courteney Cox, Kate Hudson and Danny Fujikawa, and Rachel Zoe. BroBible also lists Kris Jenner, Erin Foster and rapper Young Thug, so the mix of film, fashion and music was real.

Young Thug’s name is no accident. Geoffrey runs The Ogunlesi Group, a music and entertainment management company he founded in 2022. So, the guest list tells you a lot about both sides of the couple.

So, Who Is Geoffrey Ogunlesi?

Geoffrey is 34, while Meyer, a jewellery designer, is 49. He is the son of Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi, but he has built his own career in entertainment, and that distinction matters. The pair made their red carpet debut at the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023, and he proposed in a surprise moment in August 2024. Meyer wrote on Instagram, “It was alllll him! Total surprise.”

Reports do not say where Geoffrey grew up, so we will not guess. What is clear is that the Nigerian connection runs through his father, and that is where the story gets interesting.

Meet Adebayo Ogunlesi, the “Man Who Bought Gatwick”

According to Wikipedia, Adebayo Ogunlesi was born in Sagamu, Ogun State, in 1953, attended King’s College, Lagos, then studied at Oxford and Harvard. He later worked as a law clerk to US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and rose through Credit Suisse before founding Global Infrastructure Partners in 2006.

His firm bought a majority stake in London Gatwick Airport in 2009, and Nigerian media nicknamed him “The Man Who Bought Gatwick Airport.” In January 2024, BlackRock agreed to buy his firm for about US$12.5 billion. Forbes puts his net worth at about US$2.5 billion as of 2025, which placed him in Africa’s top ten richest people.

He is also a recognisable name in Nigerian culture. Wikipedia notes that Burna Boy’s song “Wonderful” pays tribute to him. So, in a way, Nigeria has been talking about the Ogunlesi name for years.

Why This Story Is Trending

Part of it is simple curiosity. It is rare to see an ex-husband officiate his former wife’s next wedding, and the Spider-Man link makes it perfect for memes. Moreover, it hits a modern talking point: conscious co-parenting, where exes stay friendly for the sake of their children.

However, the Nigerian angle gives it extra weight for our readers. Few Nigerian-heritage families appear in Hollywood wedding headlines, and even fewer with a Gatwick-sized backstory. 

What We Still Do Not Know

• How Meyer and Ogunlesi met, since the reports do not say

• Their daughter’s name, which has not been revealed

• Whether any Nigerian traditions featured at the ceremony

Briefly says the timing “raised eyebrows across the entertainment world”, and it reports that the couple’s baby was born this summer, so the family has had a busy few months.

It is also reported that some financial and custody matters from the divorce are still being settled privately. So, there may be more to come.
