My Ex Married Us”: Jennifer Meyer’s Cloud-Nine Wedding

Okay, I’m just going to say it: having your ex officiate your wedding is either the healthiest thing I’ve ever heard or completely bananas. Maybe both. And Jennifer Meyer seems totally fine with that.

Okay, I’m just going to say it: having your ex officiate your wedding is either the healthiest thing I’ve ever heard or completely bananas. Maybe both. And Jennifer Meyer seems totally fine with that.

The celebrity jewelry designer, 49, married her fiance Geoffrey Ogunlesi in Hawaii on Saturday, October 10, and the guy who married them? Tobey Maguire. Her ex-husband. The father of her two older kids. Yeah, that Tobey Maguire.

Wait, Her Ex Did WHAT?

Meyer opened up about the whole thing, and honestly, she sounds like she’s still floating. “I genuinely felt like I was floating on cloud nine,” she said. “I had zero jitters, just pure happiness.”

No jitters at your own wedding? Must be nice. Most brides I know are a nervous wreck right up until the “I do.” But Meyer says having her and Maguire’s kids – daughter Ruby, 19, and son Otis, 17 – walk down the aisle alongside both sets of parents made the whole day feel grounded. Like a full-circle family moment instead of just a romantic one. That kind of family harmony is rare – The Rare Gift Bethenny's Teenager Actually Gave Her was just wanting to spend time together.

And then there’s Tobey. “Having Tobey, my ex-husband, officiate was so special,” Meyer said. “A little unconventional, but so perfectly us.”

A Little Unconventional Is an Understatement

Look, I’ve heard of exes staying friendly. I’ve heard of co-parenting that actually works. But asking your former spouse to stand up in front of everyone and legally bind you to your new husband? That’s a different level of amicable. Credit where it’s due though – it clearly means something real to Meyer, and if it works for their family, who am I to argue.

The Bigger Picture Here

Meyer and Maguire, 51, were married from 2007 to 2016. Since then they’ve both moved on – Meyer with Ogunlesi, and Maguire with his own relationships over the years. But the way Meyer describes this wedding, it’s clear the split with Tobey never turned into the kind of bitter mess we see with so many other Hollywood breakups. Moving on gracefully after a split isn't always this smooth – just look at Carl's Cryptic Message About Lindsay's New Hook-Up for proof.

The couple also welcomed a baby girl earlier this year, so this wedding wasn’t just a romantic milestone – it was basically Meyer’s whole life, past and present, standing in one room together. Three kids. Both sets of parents. An ex-husband turned officiant. That’s… a lot. But apparently it worked.

“Having our three children and our parents walk down the aisle made it even more special.”

What This Actually Means

Here’s my honest take: celebrity exes doing stuff like this always gets framed as “goals,” and sure, co-parenting without drama is genuinely admirable. But I also think we should stop pretending this is some blueprint the rest of us should be following. Not every ex can – or should – officiate your next wedding. For Meyer and Maguire, it clearly comes from years of actual effort to keep things stable for their kids, not just a cute Instagram moment.

Still, I’ll give them this – it takes a specific kind of maturity to pull off, and not a lot of people have it. Cloud nine or not, that’s the real headline here.
