Billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi’s Son Godfrey to Wed Jennifer Meyer

Geoffrey Ogunlesi, the 33-year-old son of Nigerian billionaire and investment banker Adebayo Ogunlesi, has engaged to Jennifer Meyer, a celebrated U.S. jewelry designer aged 47. The engagement has caught the attention of socialites and industry watchers alike, marking yet another significant chapter in the lives of both individuals.

Geoffrey Ogunlesi, known for his role as the CEO of The Ogunlesi Group, an entertainment and music management company based in Los Angeles, proposed to Meyer with a ring estimated to be worth around $500,000. The announcement was met with widespread congratulations from friends, family, and peers in the entertainment and business sectors.

Jennifer Meyer, who has carved out a name for herself in the world of luxury jewelry, was previously married to Tobey Maguire, the iconic actor known for his portrayal of Spider-Man. They share two children, Ruby Sweetheart Maguire and Otis Tobias Maguire, and despite their separation in 2016 and subsequent divorce, they’ve maintained a friendly relationship, often showcasing their amicable co-parenting on social media.

The engagement news broke on various social media platforms and was confirmed by Meyer herself through an Instagram post captioned with a simple “Yes!!!” alongside a picture of the couple embracing, with Meyer‘s new engagement ring prominently displayed.

Adebayo Ogunlesi, Geoffrey‘s father, is not just any billionaire but a figure of significant influence in the global financial landscape. He co-founded Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity firm that notably acquired London Gatwick Airport. His net worth, as reported by Forbes in September 2024, stands at an impressive $1.7 billion, a testament to his business acumen and strategic investments.

This cross-cultural engagement brings together the worlds of high finance, entertainment, and fashion. Geoffrey, having worked with notable artists like Young Thug and having a background in A&R at major labels like Warner Music Group and 300 Entertainment, steps into this new chapter with a rich professional legacy. Jennifer‘s work, admired by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, adds a touch of glamour to this union.

The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in the summer of 2023 and made their relationship official on the red carpet at the Baby2Baby Gala in November, seems to be in for a grand celebration. While details about the wedding remain under wraps, given the stature of both families, one can expect it to be an event of note, possibly blending Nigerian traditions with American elegance.
