His ex-wife Jennifer Meyer recently showered him with praise, gleefully dubbing him ‘the greatest ex a girl could have’ and her ‘best friend’.
And Tobey Maguire, 42, proved her words true on Wednesday evening, when he reunited with the 40-year-old jewellery designer as they took their children Ruby, 11, and Otis, eight, out for a Valentine’s Day meal.
The friendly exes sported broad smiles as they dined with their adorable offspring at celebrity haunt Girogio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

Jennifer looked typically chic for the occasion, stepping out in a patterned dress with a button-down skirt, which she teamed with strappy red wedge heels.
With silky brown tresses styled in soft waves, she highlighted her natural beauty with a light dusting of makeup, while her accessories included a herringbone necklace and small hoop earrings.
Carrying a bold red handbag to perfectly match her shoes, she draped a black leather jacket over her shoulders to stave off the chilly evening air.

Following their meal, the happy family emerged from the eatery and made their way to the valet stand, where Tobey collected his car before driving everybody away.
Their outing comes weeks after Jennifer praised her ex-husband, telling UsWeekly: ‘He’s the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have. He’s my best friend.’
Speaking about how their lives revolve around their children, she said: ‘The day begins with the kids and ends with the kids… They’re really amazing kids, so we figure it out together.’
Jennifer and Tobey were married for ten years prior to the finalisation of their divorce last year.

They continue to socialise together and have a wide star-studded friendship circle.
When announcing their split in October 2016, the exes said their two children were their top priority.
In a joint statement at the time, they said: ‘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.’
The couple tied the knot in 2007 – four years after they met – in a ceremony in Hawaii in front of their close family and friends.
