During an appearance on 'The Inside Edit' podcast in December 2025 with Maeve Reilly, Meyer said Gwyneth Paltrow helped her realize that divorce could benefit their family in the long run.

“Everyone was making fun of conscious uncoupling at the time, but joke’s on them. Joke’s on those people making fun of it,” Meyer said at the time. “I called (Sadeghi) and then I had to say to Tobey, ‘Hey, we’re going to go to couple’s therapy.’”

“I now have an ex-husband who is my best friend and would do anything for me, and I would do anything for him,” she added. “Anything in the world.” On 'The Inside Edit,' Meyer called Maguire “the best dad, the best ex-husband, the best friend, the most generous” and said Maguire and Ogunlesi get along well.
