Amicable XS Toby Mcguires former wife Jennifer Meyer came to
his defense after rumors started circulating that he was dating
much younger model Lily Chi The gossip started after the
Spiderman
star, 49, was seen with his arm on the 20
year olds back as they left Michael Rubens annual 4th
of July party together.
The pictures went viral, prompting an Instagram user to comment
on one of Myers posts.
Why is your ex-husband banging someone three years older than
your daughter?
The jewelry designer, 47, replied to the fan by insisting
I don't usually respond to such nonsense,
but he was kindly helping a friend in her car
and being a a good guy.
And now he has then blasted online for dating someone
he is not,
the mom of two continued.
But thank you for your rude comment.
I hope it made you feel better today.
Wishing you love and light.
Meyer, who shares her two children with McGuire,
added in another comment. I'm disengaging after this.
Don't believe everything you read.
I'm sure you were taught that somewhere.
Toby is as good of a guy as it gets.
Despite Myers kind words, one news outlet claimed the actor
and she aren't strictly platonic.
They aren't seriously dating but have been.
A source told Us Weekly,
noting the dynamic is very casual.
The source claimed the two were together all night,
hanging out, having fun and went to an after party
with a big crew.
According to the insider, the duo met prior to the
star-studded Independence Day bash.
Toby knew Lily and her girlfriends were invited to the
party and they planned to hang out and meet up.
They explained he was introduced to her through Richie,
Akiva and mutual friends. McGuire and his ex-wife,
who got hitched in 2007,
announced their separation in 2016 but didn't file for divorce
until 2020.
After much soul searching and consideration,
we have made the decision to separate as a couple,
their first statement to the public read.
As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children
together with enduring love,
respect and friendship. At the time of their split,
a source told people they had been living separate lives
for a while.
They have completely different interests and haven't seemed to be
connecting the insiders field.
Part of the problem seems to be a personality clash.
He's extremely private and prefers to stay Home and she's
very social and has tons of girlfriends.
They haven't been happy together for a long time,
the insider said. But they are great parents and they
love their children.
