Believe it or not, but Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire has recently turned 45. And yes, the
first Spidey film was released almost two decades ago. Even after becoming a household
name, Maguire seemed to be a very humble and shy guy, just like his character Peter Parker,
and he even ended up dating with Kirsten Dunst who portrayer Mary Jane.
Throughout his lifetime, the handsome actor has been romantically involved with numerous
high-profile women, ALL of which never said a bad word about him. Maguire, for his part,
has never commented on any aspect of his dating life. His ex-wife says he is her (quote) "best
friend" and "the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have".
If everything is so great about him, what is actually wrong with Maguire's dating life
that such a nice and humble guy has not found his soulmate?
Today we take a look at the love life of Tobey Maguire. Be sure to watch till the end to
see the incredible woman he is dating now. Who is she? Is this bond going to last? We
have all the reasons to believe it will. Subscribe to our channel and keep watching! Ready? Let's
go!
Sara Gilbert Gilbert and Maguire reportedly started dating
in the mid 90s while both were still teenagers. As long as Maguire has always been that guy
who prefers to keep his private life to himself, this information was circulating as a rumour.
Now the interesting part about it is that Gilbert pretty soon discovered she was gay.
It was definitely not during her alleged romance with Maguire, but during the time she was
dating fellow actor Johnny Galecki.
What we know for sure is that Sara and Tobey remained good friends. When Gilbert's house
was being renovated in 2005, he opened HIS house to Sara, her partner and their child.
Rashida Jones Before Maguire made millions as Peter Parker
in Spider-Man, he was dating the one and only Rashida Jones for about three years and, according
to insider sources, they were even engaged. But in 2000 they split.
Both were aspiring stars at the time, but not such big names as they are now. Jones
confessed in an interview years later that her expectations from dating in general were
sort of weird when she was younger.
"I had the full princess fantasy: the white horse, the whole being saved from my life,
which is ridiculous. What do I want to be saved from? My life's great!"
Kirsten Dunst We all saw that chemistry between Tobey Maguire
and Kirsten Dunst in the first Spider-Man movie. After all, this kiss has become history
for a reason. It seemed inevitable that the two movie leads would eventually become an
item. Neither of the actors has ever spoken about the alleged romance, but the film director
Sam Raimi DID in one of his interviews, saying they started dating on the set of the film.
Raimi didn't figure that immediately as Tobey and Kirsten apparently did their best to hide
their relationship.
The lovebirds' co-star James Franco also didn't hesitate to give them out in 2013.
"Tobey and Kirsten became a couple around that time. I had a crush on Kirsten, and I
think I was upset about that as well....Tobey was mad at me for a while. By the second film,
we were cool…"
No matter how hard Maguire and Dunst tried to hide their romance, it was kind of obvious
for everyone around them. Well, you can't hide those flying sparkles. Right?
Demi Moore In 2002 rumour had it that Tobey was romantically
involved with Demi Moore, who was 13 years his senior. The two reportedly had a fling
before Moore ended up with Ashton Kutcher.
Interestingly, after the actress's divorce that left her devastated, she was said to
be trying to rekindle their romance with Maguire. Sources close to Demi were saying that Tobey
was (quote)" just her type - younger, smart and kind of goofy. She’d like more than
a hookup."
They say, when we feel bad, we should try to remember the moment when we felt happy
about our life. Probably, for Demi that moment was connected with Tobey. It remains unclear,
however, why things didn't work out between the two.
Whatever happened the first and the second time, it didn't last long...
Jennifer Meyer The most long-lasting relationship Maguire
has had so far was with jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer. They first met in 2003 and got married
four years later giving birth to 2 lovely kids.
Even though as you have noticed, Maguire doesn't speak much about any of his relationships,
either past or current, he did make a candid confession in one of the interviews.
The actor, who had a rocky childhood, revealed that settling down and finding stability were
big priorities in his life.
He told Parade magazine: “Growing up the way I did, I had a very
serious ambition to make some money, to have some security and comfort in my life"
If you wonder why little Tobey lacked security in his life, it is probably because his parents
who were 18 and 20 when he was born, split. He found himself bouncing from one family
member to the next as he was growing up.
But that situation made him realize at the very young age that the feelings of love and
security are in his own hands. Thus, Maguire worked hard to reach first financial success
and then to finally start a family.
Despite the level of a celebrity Maguire is, the two have never been involved in any sort
of public scandal. But unfortunately, their marriage was not made in heaven. They seemed
great together, and even their split couldn't be sweeter. Meyer told Us Weekly:
“He’s my best friend. He’s the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have.”
If everything was so good, why did they separate then? Some insider sources told People that
part of the problem seemed 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.”
However, the two perfectly nailed the co-parenting goals and both of their kids seem joyful and
happy. And it is reported that they love their dad's girlfriend! Which leads us to Maguire's
last but not least girlfriend:
Tatiana Dieteman Maguire reportedly met model Tatiana Dieteman
in August 2018 when they crossed paths at a party held for Leonardo DiCaprio. The 17-year
age gap doesn't seem to be an issue for either of the lovebirds. The two are reportedly going
strong, after two years. Tobey and Tatiana have been spotted together only a few times,
since they are trying to keep their relationship low-profile. What a surprise, haha!
A source exclusively told Us Weekly:
"Tobey and Tatiana live together and they're very happy. Tobey's kids love her. She's great
with them. Tatiana and Tobey's ex-wife Jen get along well, too."
Moreover, Dieteman is said to be getting well with Maguire's ex wife.
Whenever we see the couple together, both are smiling and Maguire appears to be so at
peace. Having undergone the coronavirus crisis together we bet they have become even closer
to each other!
We hope this time the Spider-Man star has finally found Mrs. Right - someone he can
settle down with.
Moreover, his career also might take a new turn. Well, we mean, new old turn. News has
emerged that, after a wait of more than ten years, Maguire could be returning to the role
of Spider-Man.
Interestingly, Sam Raimi will be directing the film, so if rumors are true, it will reunite
the actor with the director.
It would be really good news for all of Maguire's fans, who have been dying to see him on big
screen again. Maguire has spent a good chunk of the last few years behind the camera producing
movies through his production company, Material Pictures. Sadly, the pictures he co-produced
haven't performed really well.
Another reason behind Maguire's disappearance from the limelight is probably linked to his
gambling habit. We are not talking about just having fun playing with friends: Maguire has
confidently earned the reputation of a big winner. In 2011, CNN reported that he had
to settle a lawsuit to prevent having to pay back $311,000 that he had won a few years
earlier. The problem was that he won the money that
actually didn't belong to the one who made the stakes - basically, it was stolen from
the investors. The actor ended up paying $80,000 due to his participation, but claims he didn’t
know the games were illegal. It was not the last time his love for poker landed him in
hot water. That sort of reputation didn't work in his favour.
Without any reference to his gambling habit, the Hollywood A-lister said in 2013 something
that could explain why he would try have all the money in the world:
“As a kid, I was very poor. I mean, it’s all relative, but we would get groceries from
neighbours. I always had a roof over my head, but I slept on couches of relatives, and some
night we wandered into a shelter."
According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Maguire's current net worth is around 75 million
dollars. Looks like enough not only for his kids not to undergo through their father's
experience, but also enough for several generations of the Maguires to live in comfort.
