Tobey Maguire's PDA with model Babette Strijbos, 24, invites frowns as he vacations with Leonardo DiCaprio

SARDINIA, ITALY: Tobey Maguire was seen getting cozy with 24-year-old model Babette Strijbos on a private beach in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, during a trip with his friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

The 49-year-old 'Spider-Man' star enjoyed a romantic swim and exchanged several passionate kisses with Strijbos, who wore a strapless, bow-inspired bikini top and light brown bottoms, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Tobey Maguire and Babette Strijbos share a romantic moment in Sardinia

The pair, who have a 25-year age gap, were visibly affectionate, sharing long embraces and intimate moments as they waded in the secluded area.

Maguire, sporting navy blue swim trunks with a floral pattern, and Strijbos, who has modeled for brands like Abercrombie and Free People, couldn't keep their hands off each other.

After shedding his plain white T-shirt and accessories, Maguire joined Strijbos in the water, where they shared tender smooches and held each other closely. The duo lounged on beach chairs, chatted, and sunbathed, with Maguire often gazing admiringly at the Dutch model.

This romantic outing comes after Maguire was seen with 20-year-old model Lily Chee following Michael Rubin’s July 4 White Party in the Hamptons. Before his Sardinia trip, he enjoyed a day of fun with DiCaprio and DiCaprio’s girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, including a jet ski ride.

Maguire was previously married to jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer for over a decade before their separation in 2016 and eventual divorce filing in 2020. The former couple shares two children, Ruby, 17, and Otis, 15, and have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship.

Meyer has described their divorce as “the most beautiful experience” of her life.

Maguire and DiCaprio’s friendship dates back to the 1990s, with the two actors famously part of the “P***y Posse” as dubbed by New York Magazine.

Internet not happy with age gap between Tobey Maguire and Babette Strijbos

Tobey Maguire and his new romance with 24-year-old model Babette Strijbos in Sardinia have ignited discussions across social media, especially given Maguire's 25-year age difference with Strijbos.

One user questioned, "I wonder what Tobey's daughter, Ruby, who is around 18-years old, feels about her dad going out with someone who is just 6 years older than her? Tobey also has a 15-year-old son!" 

Another user criticized, "These two guys should be ashamed of themselves. I feel sorry for these young girls…. Although they are adults, they are doing this for an unrealistic illusion, but in reality, they are being exploited."

One comment stated, "I just find him and Leo to be gross at this point. Pretty soon Toby's daughter will be older than the 'models' he dates. And his ex-wife constantly sticking up for him is weird as well. I know they are all consenting adults — but at some point, your soul and your dignity should be priceless."

Another user wrote, "Imagine a world where if you have enough wealth and status, you can feel entitled to not only whatever you want, but whoever you want. This is Hollywood. It's a midden. They're ALL like this. Their public persona is smiles and sunshine, but in private they're depraved gluttons. The 2022 film Babylon, which, ironically, featured Tobey playing a creepy, ghoulish character, was based on FACT."
