American jewellery designer Jennifer Meyer has married Geoffrey “Geoff” Ogunlesi, son of Nigerian billionaire and investment banker Adebayo Ogunlesi, in a star-studded ceremony in Hawaii, with her former husband, Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire, officiating the wedding.

The couple tied the knot on October 10, 2026, at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai in Hawaii, in a ceremony attended by celebrities and prominent business figures.

Maguire, best known for playing Spider-Man in the Hollywood film franchise, led the couple through their wedding vows in a development that has attracted attention because his divorce from Meyer was finalised only weeks before the ceremony.

The former couple completed their divorce on September 21, 2026, following their separation announcement in 2016 and a divorce filing in 2020.

Meyer, 49, and Ogunlesi, 34, were first romantically linked in 2023 and announced their engagement in 2024. They also welcomed a daughter earlier in 2026, who was present at the wedding.

Meyer shares two children, Ruby, 19, and Otis, 17, with Maguire. Both teenagers attended the ceremony and joined the celebrations.

The wedding attracted several high-profile guests, including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his partner, Vittoria Ceretti; Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos; actress Courteney Cox; actress Kate Hudson; and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe.

Meyer wore a strapless white bridal gown, while Ogunlesi appeared in a classic tuxedo. Maguire, dressed in a black suit, officiated the ceremony.

The jewellery designer has previously spoken positively about the cordial relationship between Maguire and her new husband, indicating that the two men get along well and that the actor remains actively involved in co-parenting their children.

Ogunlesi, who founded The Ogunlesi Group, is the son of Adebayo Ogunlesi, a prominent Nigerian-born investment banker and global infrastructure investor. The elder Ogunlesi is of Ijebu heritage, in Ogun State, Nigeria.

The wedding has also drawn attention to the evolving dynamics of blended families and post-divorce relationships, particularly in situations where former spouses maintain amicable ties.
While a former husband officiating at his ex-wife’s wedding may be considered unusual in some societies, including Nigeria,
the arrangement in this case reflects the cordial relationship reportedly maintained by Meyer and Maguire after their marriage ended.

The ceremony marked a new chapter for Meyer and Ogunlesi, bringing together their family relationships in a celebration attended by some of the biggest names in entertainment and business.
