Tobey Maguire Supports Ex-Wife Jennifer Meyer at Party for Jewelry Brand

Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer continue to prove they are the best of exes!

The Spider-Man actor, 50, was among the guests who attended a celebration to mark the 20th anniversary of Meyer’s eponymous jewelry brand in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 9.

Maguire looked casual in a black baseball cap and hoodie as he posed with his ex-wife at the event. For her part, Meyer, 48, wore an oversized gray shirt and black slacks for the big night.

The actor and the celebrity jewelry designer met in 2003 and tied the knot in a Hawaii wedding in 2007. The couple welcomed their daughter, Ruby, now 18, in November 2006, followed in May 2009 by son Otis, 16.

Maguire and Meyer announced their separation in October 2016 after nine years of marriage.

“After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple,” the couple said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.”

Meyer filed for divorce from her estranged husband in 2020, four years after they went their separate ways.

Despite their romantic relationship ending, Meyer and Maguire have remained good friends and coparents over the years.

Two years after their split, Meyer told Us in 2018, “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,” the jewelry designer added. “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.”

In June 2022, Meyer further gushed over her bond with the Spider-Man: No Way Home star during an appearance on “The World’s First” podcast.

“It’s been the most beautiful experience of my life having this beautiful breakup,” Meyer 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.”

She added, “The work is a motherf***er, I’m not gonna lie. And we did a lot of work to stay on track to stay a family. It was a choice, and it was trusting in, like, the universe has got our back.”

Nearly a decade after their split, the exes continue to show a united front. In June, Meyer shared a sweet tribute to Maguire to mark his 50th birthday.

“Happy happy 50th birthday to the greatest ex-husband, the greatest best friend, and the greatest dad,” she wrote on Instagram alongside several photos of Maguire with their kids. “You are wonderful in every way and we all love you to the moon and back! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBEY. ♥️✨💕.”

Us reported in August that Maguire filed court documents requesting joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s minor son. The actor asked for child and spousal support “to be determined through private mediation.”

David Del Rio’s Wife Slams ‘Disturbing’ Leah Lewis Amid Assault Scandal

David Del Rio’s wife Katherine publicly took aim at Leah Lewis after her husband was fired from Matlock after being accused of sexual assault.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, October 9, Katherine, 33, shared a close-up photo of Lewis, 28.

Across Lewis’ face, Katherine wrote, “This is the most disturbing human being I have ever met.”

Earlier in the day, Lewis had been following Katherine’s Instagram account. However, it now appears that Lewis is no longer following the account and her comments have disappeared, suggesting she may have been blocked by Katherine.

The social media post comes after Us Weekly confirmed earlier on Thursday that David, 38, would no longer be part of the Matlock cast following an investigation into allegations of sexual assault.

Deadline, who broke the news, reported on Thursday that an incident involving David and Lewis allegedly occurred on September 26 and was reported to CBS on October 2.

Following the investigation, David was “fired and escorted off the lot the same day the alleged assault was reported,” per Deadline.

According to the outlet, Matlock has continued filming its second season despite David’s quick departure from the show. David’s character, first-year associate lawyer Billy Martinez, is reportedly set to be written off.

The legal drama is on hiatus from next week after wrapping up the first half of the season, with production set to resume after Thanksgiving in November.

Us has previously reached out to CBS and David for comment.

After David’s abrupt departure was reported, Lewis broke her silence via social media the same day.

Lewis shared a photo of herself hugging her mother via her Instagram Story.

“Mom is here, we’re moving forward in love and strength. I’m in good hands,” she wrote. “Thank you to everybody for any kind of support and care. Truly, we’re moving forward in strength.”

The actress added, “Key word, strength. Please, let that be the take away.”

Lewis plays first-year associate Sarah Franklin on Matlock, which stars Kathy Bates as the titular character. David portrayed another first-year associate, who was best friends with Sarah. The pair worked at Jacobson Moore alongside Madeline “Matty” Matlock.

David and Katherine, who is an actress and chef, first crossed paths in 2010 before later sparking up a relationship. Katherine attended a Broadway performance of In the Heights, where she was introduced to her husband — who starred in the musical — at the stage door following the show.

After later reuniting in Los Angeles, the pair fell in love and eventually got married in Mexico in April 2018.

The couple went on to start a family in July 2023, welcoming their first child, a daughter named Lilia.

“On June 20 – a day with record breaking high temperatures in Austin TX — our perfect Lilia was born after 27 hours of labor,” Katherine announced via Instagram at the time. “Life has been a blissful, sleepless blur since then, and our little summer solstice baby has completely blown our minds in every way. We had no idea what to expect or what this would feel like, but WOW does it surpass the hype. There will never be enough words for how deeply we love her. Honored and truly blessed to introduce you to Lilliam Kellie Wallace Del Rio III.”

David and Katherine added to their brood in March 2025, with the arrival of second daughter, Coco.

“Coco Del Rio arrived with a smile on January 20, right in the heart of a winter storm,” Katherine announced via social media. “Her big sister is completely obsessed with her, and we are indescribably elated and exhausted. Thank you, God for your miracles.”

Matlock returns for season 2 on CBS Monday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. ET. Episode 2 will air on Thursday, October 16, at 9 p.m. ET.

ASAP Rocky Gushes Over Daughter He Shares With Rihanna

A$AP Rocky is loving life as a girl dad.

Speaking to Complex in an interview published on Thursday, October 9, the rapper gushed over his newborn daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, who he welcomed on September 13 with Rihanna.

“My daughter. That’s my favorite thing I created this year,” Rocky, 37, told the outlet. “Shout out to Rocki Irish, man.”

The couple, who also share RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, announced the new arrival on September 24 via an Instagram post.

Rihanna Makes 1st Public Appearance Since Giving Birth to 3rd Baby

“Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025 🎀” Rihanna, 37, wrote alongside a photo of herself cradling her baby.

While Rocky and Rihanna never publicly revealed they were expecting a girl this time around, “Purple Swag” singer spoke about hoping for a daughter after previously welcoming two sons.

“I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” Rocky told Elle in a profile published in September. “Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn’t want to know. Third time, we don’t want to know until, you know.”

He added, “I feel like it’s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.”

Meanwhile, Rihanna has previously praised Rocky for his parenting skills in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in February.

The “Umbrella” singer told the outlet that the “greatest thing” about her partner “is seeing him be a dad.”

She joked her only frustration with Rocky when he is performing dad duties is how much the couple’s sons adore him.

“I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”

Rihanna has also spoken candidly about how being a parent has transformed her life.

“It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever,” she told British Vogue in 2023. “You literally try to remember it — and there are photos of my life before — but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because … it doesn’t matter.”

For his part, Rocky has been outspoken with praise for Rihanna and complimented her for the positive effect she’s had on his life.

“[The relationship] is going great,” the “Purple Swag” singer said. “I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Rocky echoed the sentiment in an interview with GQ in 2021 when he referred to the star as “The One.”

“So much better when you got The One,” he gushed to the outlet. “She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. … I think when you know, you know. She’s The One.”

DPP awaits Mutharika’s reaction to MBC boss Kasakula’s apology

…..DPP spokesperson Shadric Namalomba says the party has acknowledged MBC Director General George Kasakula’s apology but will defer comment until President Arthur Peter Mutharika personally responds.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has officially acknowledged the apology made by the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) Director General, George Kasakula, to President Arthur Peter Mutharika.

According to DPP spokesperson Shadric Namalomba, the party has taken note of Kasakula’s remarks but will hold off on making a substantive statement until Mutharika himself responds.

Namalomba emphasized that the apology was directed personally to President Mutharika, and therefore, it is only appropriate to allow him to determine how to respond.

He stated that the DPP respects Mutharika’s position as the party’s leader and that his reaction will guide the party’s overall stance on the matter.

Kasakula’s apology follows years of tension between MBC and the DPP, particularly during the early years of the Tonse Alliance administration, when the state broadcaster was accused of bias and negative coverage against the opposition.

Observers say Kasakula’s gesture may signal an attempt to mend relations and promote a more balanced and professional approach to public broadcasting in Malawi.

However, some within the DPP have remained cautious, saying they will only judge the sincerity of the apology based on future actions and whether MBC adopts fair reporting practices going forward.

The development has sparked public discussion on social media, with Malawians expressing mixed reactions—some welcoming the apology as a sign of maturity, while others view it as a strategic move amid shifting political dynamics.

Meanwhile, all eyes are now on President Arthur Peter Mutharika, whose response is expected to set the tone for how the DPP will engage with MBC and the media fraternity in general going forward.

George Kasakula’s apology: A hollow act from a confusionist MBC Director General

In a stunning display of political theatrics, George Kasakula, Director General of the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), has issued an apology to President Peter Mutharika and First Lady Gertrude Mutharika.

This apology comes after Kasakula’s disgraceful outburst of insults and vulgar language against the First Couple during the recent campaign period.

However, this apology is nothing more than a feeble attempt to mask the deep-rooted confusion and blatant bias that has plagued Kasakula’s tenure at MBC.

Kasakula’s behavior has been a source of national embarrassment.

As the head of the country’s premier broadcasting institution, his role demands impartiality, professionalism, and above all, respect for the office of the presidency.

Instead, Kasakula chose to descend into a cesspool of derogatory language, spewing venomous attacks against Mutharika and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

His actions not only undermined the credibility of MBC but also exposed the dangerous level of partisanship that is poisoning Malawi’s media landscape.

It is no secret that Kasakula aligned himself with unscrupulous figures like Humphreys Mvula, a self-styled political commentator whose analyses often border on the absurd and conspiratorial.

Together, they orchestrated a propaganda campaign targeting Mutharika, painting him as a villain in a narrative that reeked of desperation and misinformation.

This alliance revealed Kasakula’s true colors—not as a neutral public servant, but as a confusionist intent on destabilizing the government through media manipulation.

Kasakula’s apology rings hollow when viewed against the backdrop of his consistent pattern of misconduct. It is not enough to offer a perfunctory “sorry” after a campaign season filled with reckless slander and open hostility toward the elected leadership.

His words of remorse fail to erase the damage he inflicted on the institution he leads and the broader political discourse in Malawi.

Instead, they highlight a lack of genuine accountability and an attempt to evade the consequences of his unprofessional conduct.

The public and media watchdogs have rightly condemned Kasakula’s descent into partisan mudslinging.

His actions represent a breach of trust, not just with the presidency but with every Malawian who looks to MBC for balanced and fair news coverage.

The use of state media as a platform for targeted political attacks undermined democratic principles and erodes public confidence in government institutions.

How can a director general who indulges in such inflammatory rhetoric be expected to uphold the values of journalistic integrity?

It is also important to consider the long-term implications of Kasakula’s confusionist tactics.

By sowing discord and promoting divisive narratives, he contributed to a polarized political environment where constructive dialogue becomes impossible.

Kasakula’s apology fails to address the root of the problem: his own inability to separate personal political biases from his professional duties.

Instead of using his platform to inform and educate the public, he chose to degrade it into a vehicle for partisan propaganda.

This is not just a personal failing; it is a betrayal of the public trust and an affront to the democratic process.

In light of these considerations, it is imperative that the authorities take decisive action to restore the integrity of MBC.

Kasakula’s apology should not be the end of this matter but the beginning of a thorough investigation into his conduct.

Holding him accountable is essential to re-establishing confidence in the state broadcaster and sending a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.

The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation must recommit itself to its mandate of impartial and accurate reporting.

Leadership must be held to the highest standards, and those who abuse their positions for political gain must face consequences.

Only then can MBC reclaim its role as a trusted source of information and a pillar of Malawian democracy.

George Kasakula’s apology is a superficial gesture from a director general who has demonstrated a profound confusion of roles and responsibilities.

His reckless attacks on President Mutharika and the DPP, his association with dubious political commentators, and his use of state media as a propaganda tool painted a picture of a man more interested in partisanship than professionalism.

The nation deserves better. It demands accountability.

And it must reject the confusionist tactics that threaten to undermine the very fabric of Malawian democratic governance.

DRC President Tshisekedi urges Kagame to halt support for M23 rebels

…..Public appeal raises diplomatic pressure over ongoing violence in eastern Congo….

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s President Félix Tshisekedi has publicly urged Rwandan President Paul Kagame to end Rwanda’s alleged support for the M23 rebel group.

Speaking at the European Union’s Global Gateway Forum in Belgium, Tshisekedi departed from his prepared remarks to address the issue directly.

He called on Kagame to “give the order to the M23 troops your country supports,” highlighting the urgent need to stop the violence.

Tshisekedi warned that the ongoing conflict “has already killed enough people,” stressing the human cost of the prolonged unrest.

He described the moment as a turning point, stating, “History will be our judge,” underlining the significance of immediate action.

Kagame, who was in the audience during the remarks, did not immediately respond to the appeal.

The rare public appeal, delivered before global leaders and widely amplified on social media, represents a significant diplomatic move.

It raises international pressure on Rwanda regarding its alleged involvement in supporting the M23 rebel group.

The appeal also draws attention to the protracted conflict in eastern DRC, which has displaced millions of people and created severe humanitarian challenges.

Observers note that Tshisekedi’s intervention could signal a shift in regional diplomacy and accountability concerning armed groups operating in the Great Lakes region.

The statement underscores the urgency for collaborative efforts to restore peace and stability in areas affected by the M23 insurgency.

It also reflects Tshisekedi’s determination to address external support for armed groups that exacerbate insecurity within his country.

The international community is now watching closely to see whether Rwanda will respond to Tshisekedi’s public call and what concrete steps will follow to reduce violence in eastern DRC.
