Tobey Maguire has filed for joint custody of his son and Jennifer Meyer's son Otis

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.
