Tobey Maguire is facing intense backlash after appearing at Super Bowl LX with a date decades younger than him.
The 50-year-old actor was spotted with 20-year-old model Mishka Silva in February 2026, creating an immediate firestorm on social media. The problem? Silva is only one year older than Maguire’s daughter, Ruby Sweetheart Maguire, who was born November 10, 2006 and recently turned 19.
Critics immediately pointed out the uncomfortable proximity in age. “Tobey Maguire is 50 & his gf is 19,” one viral post stated, with thousands commenting on the 30-year age gap.
Fast Facts:
- Maguire’s Age: 50 years old
- Silva’s Age: 20 years old
- Ruby’s Age: 19 years old (born November 2006)
- Age Difference: 30 years between Maguire and girlfriend
- Relationship History: Divorced Jennifer Meyer in 2020 after 13 years of marriage
- Children: Ruby (19) and Otis (15)
Ruby graduated high school in June 2025, with both Maguire and his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer celebrating together in a rare family photo. The jewelry designer posted a tribute calling Ruby “the most beautiful soul”. Ruby has maintained an extremely private life, making only occasional red carpet appearances with her famous father, most recently at the Babylon premiere in December 2022 when she was 16.
Maguire and Meyer share two children: Ruby and 15-year-old son Otis Tobias. The couple married in 2007, separated in 2016, and finalized their divorce in 2020.
Why It Matters
The controversy reflects growing public scrutiny of large age gaps in Hollywood relationships, particularly when children are involved. Social media users have been blunt: “It’s not just the age difference; it’s the fact that she is around the same age as his daughter that makes people uneasy”. With Silva barely out of her teens and Ruby entering adulthood at 19, the situation has become a lightning rod for debates about appropriate relationships and power imbalances in the entertainment industry.
