Tobey Maguire couldn’t have been prouder of his eldest daughter Ruby as she graduated high school surrounded by friends and family.
The Spiderman star was all smiles as he stood next to the 17-year-old and her mother Jennifer Meyer amid her milestone celebration.
Ruby’s big day
Tobey donned a simple black T-shirt for the occasion, with a black trucker cap and black sunglasses to complete the casual look.
His ex-wife Jennifer wore a green tank top with black sunglasses, appearing friendly with Tobey as they smiled for the camera together.
Ruby looked just like her mother in the photos posted to Jennifer’s Instagram, which also featured a slew of family and friends who came to support Ruby on her big day.

“After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple,” they shared in a statement in 2016. “As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.”
Five years later, Jennifer opened up about their close bond in an episode of The World’s First Podcast.

“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,” she added.

“It’s a very dramatic change,” he said on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2007. “My whole life is in transition now with friendships and where I’m gonna live, you know, just your whole perspective.”
He continued: “It’s great. She’s so adorable. She’s just a smiley, little, beautiful thing.”

I expected to fall completely in love with my child.”
While Tobey prefers to keep his children out of the public eye, Ruby did join him at the Los Angeles premiere of Babylon in 2022, where she donned a black velvet dress under an eye-catching red coat with a fur collar.
