Maguire and his ex Meyer went through a difficult breakup, but now that is all on the shelf. During a chat with Maeve Reilly on an episode of “The Inside Edit” podcast, the mom of two cheerfully spoke on the status of their post-divorce relationship with the actor.

She described Maguire as the best father, ex-husband, and friend. “I now have an ex-husband who is my best friend and would do anything for me, and I would do anything for him, anything in the world,” she happily said before adding that he is the most generous person.

Meyer reveals in the podcast that her divorce was a learning phase for her. Because of it, she learned so much about patience and maintaining family relationships. She also realized a lot of things through co-parenting and added that her divorce from the TV star was one of her greatest teachers.

The jewelry designer disclosed that while going through the complex divorce process, things got intense. Nevertheless, they had to maintain contact for the sake of their children, who were still really young.

The “Spider-Man” actor and Meyer met in 2003. At the time when they started dating, Maguire was filming “Seabiscuit.” Three years later, in April 2006, they got engaged. In September 2007, almost a year after having their first child, Ruby, they tied the knot, and soon after, their son, Otis, was born.

The pair were married for ten years but were together for fourteen before they pulled the plug on their relationship. As disclosed by Meyer, they had broken up for a while but kept it a secret and were still living together.

They did this because they were cautious of the effect the split would have on the children. Meyer also shared that their relationship got very rocky as partners and as co-parents.
