Tobey Maguire files for joint custody of son
Nearly 10 years after the pair announced their split, Tobey – who also shares daughter Ruby, 18, with Jennifer – has filed a response to Jennifer's initial divorce filing from 2020, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their 15-year-old son.
According to Us Weekly, he has also asked for child and spousal support 'to be determined through private mediation'.
Tobey, 50, and Jennifer, 48, tied the knot in Hawaii in 2007, four years after they first met.
They announced their split in a joint statement in 2016, saying: 'After much soul searching and consideration, we have made the decision to separate as a couple. As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.'
Jennifer only filed for divorce four years later, with Tobey's response coming this month.
The pair have maintained a close friendship following their split, with Jennifer previously telling Us Weekly: 'He's my best friend. He's the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have.
'The day begins with the kids and ends with the kids. So, you manage to get your time in and work hard in the middle, you know? They're really amazing kids, so we figure it out together. It just manages to work out really well.'
Speaking on The World's First Podcast in 2022, Jennifer – who got engaged to Geoffrey Ogunlesi last year - said: 'I can't even explain. I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death, and we have the most beautiful family.

Rebecca Romijn loves The Real Housewives
Rebecca Romijn considers herself to be a Real Housewives superfan. The 52-year-old actress is a huge fan of the reality TV franchise, revealing that her favourite series largely depends on "the cast and season". She told Us Weekly: "For a long time, my favourite Real Housewives franchise was Atlanta, but it shifts between Atlanta, Beverly Hills and New York." Rebecca actually met a lot of the Real Housewives stars at Andy Cohen's baby shower, admitting that she loved the experience. Rebecca - who played Mystique in the original trilogy of X-Men films - shared: "I met almost all of the Housewives at Andy Cohen's baby shower. It was very exciting." The actress has enjoyed significant success in her career, starring in The Punisher and in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. But Rebecca used to feel overwhelmed by nerves during her early days in the business. She said: "I used to get very nervous for auditions. [Now], I do a lot of deep breathing, which tells my body that everything is fine." Rebecca has been married to actor Jerry O'Connell since 2007, and the loved-up couple recently opened up about their romance, revealing that they have separate bank accounts. During a joint appearance on Andy Cohen Live, the actress shared: "We keep our money completely separate. "That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together." Rebecca explained that they do have one joint fund, but it's only used for their 16-year-old twin daughters. Jerry said: "I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more." Rebecca added: "The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work." The celebrity duo also ensure that at least one of them isn't working at all times, meaning that they can take care of the twins. The actress explained: "No one else is ever going to raise them besides us."

Liam Neeson made first move on Pamela Anderson
Liam Neeson made the first move on Pamela Anderson. The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set and insiders have revealed that Liam 'has been intrigued and smitten [with Pamela] since they started filming and expressed this to her". And friends believe the pair are well matched, telling Us Weekly: "Pam and Liam are a good match because they have similar personalities and understand each other. "They balance each other really well. Liam is quiet and introspective, and Pamela brings this fun curiosity that he really enjoys.' Liam has admitted he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they first met. During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City, he said: "Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: 'Wow, she is gorgeous' but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her. "I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?" A recent report suggested they have been spending time together at Pamela's home in Canada after bonding over her love of gardening and baking. A source told 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive. "She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.' "Pam cooks and gardens at home ... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved."
