Jennifer Meyer, previously married to actor Tobey Maguire, is now engaged to Geoffrey Ogunlesi, whose father is Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi. The 47-year-old jewelry designer shared the news of her engagement on Instagram on August 31, with a post simply captioned “YES!!!” accompanied by a white heart, an infinity symbol, and sparkles emojis.
The announcement included a photograph of Meyer and Ogunlesi closely embracing in what looks like a restaurant setting, with a background of a beautifully decorated dinner table featuring candles, white roses, and elegant tableware. Meyer, dressed in a black Miu Miu mini dress, was also pictured showing off her new diamond engagement ring.
Celebrities and fans flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. Notable figures such as Olivia Munn and Paris Hilton expressed their happiness, with Hilton adding a champagne bottle and heart emojis to her congratulation note. Singer Kelly Rowland and actress Goldie Hawn, along with Hawn’s daughter Kate Hudson, also joined in celebrating the joyous news.
Meyer responded to a fan’s comment on Instagram about her engagement ring, revealing that Ogunlesi had arranged everything himself, saying it was a “total surprise.”
The couple, who reportedly started dating in early 2023, made their public debut at the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023. Meyer serves as a board member for the Los Angeles-based children’s charity. Ogunlesi is the CEO of The Ogunlesi Group, an entertainment and music management company.
Ogunlesi’s father, Adebayo Ogunlesi, is a prominent lawyer and investment banker known for co-founding Global Infrastructure Partners, which notably owns London Gatwick Airport. Following a significant acquisition by BlackRock Inc. in January, his net worth was estimated at $1.7 billion by Forbes.
Meyer was married to Maguire from 2007 to 2016, and filed for divorce in October 2020, seeking joint custody of their two children. Despite their split, Meyer described her divorce in a 2022 podcast as a profoundly positive transformation, emphasizing how much she still cares for Maguire and values their continued family bond.
