How Young Would Men Date If It Were Legal? The Case of 50-Year-Old Tobey Maguire and His Very Young Girlfriend

Tobey Maguire dating photos hit a nerve. He is 50. The model he was sitting next to was 21-year-old Mishka Silva. His daughter Ruby is 19. The two girls were born about 19 months apart, and Silva was born the year after Spider-Man 2 came out.

Silva is an American model and TikTok influencer signed to DT Model Management. She was born April 8, 2005, has more than 250,000 Instagram followers, and has done campaigns for Fashion Nova, Guess, Steve Madden, and Too Faced. She also posted an Instagram Story from the game that subtly included Maguire.

Ruby, Maguire’s oldest with ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, was born in November 2006. He also has a 16-year-old son, Otis, with Meyer.

The Silva rumor fits a clear pattern. Since separating from Meyer in 2016, Maguire has been linked to a string of women in their early 20s. Model Tatiana Dieteman dated him from roughly 2018 to 2022 and was about 17 years younger. Model and actress Lily Chee was spotted with him in 2024 when she was 20, about 30 years younger; Meyer publicly downplayed it as Maguire “just helping a friend.” Around the same time he was briefly linked to model Babette Strijbos, about 25 years younger.

The closest comparison most people make is to Leonardo DiCaprio, Maguire’s longtime friend, whose own dating history has drawn similar criticism.

Comedian Haley Metzger, 31, posted a reel that captured the broader response. Here is her full quote:

How young do you think men would date if it were legal? Because Tobey Maguire is 50, and his girlfriend is 20. He also has a daughter who’s 19. His girlfriend and his daughter were born the same year. And it’s not like he was a young dad. He wasn’t a teen parent. He had his daughter when he was already in his 30s.

His girlfriend can’t even legally drink. She was born after Spider-Man 2 came out. And to me, that’s weird. But if you look at the comments on this picture on Twitter, it’s just a bunch of guys saying: ‘So what?’ ‘It’s legal.’ ‘They’re two consenting adults.’ ‘What’s the problem?’ And if the law is the only thing stopping you, I have to wonder: how low would you go?

Because personally, when I was dating, I never had to look up the age of consent in my state before setting an age range on Hinge.

It is still unconfirmed. Neither Maguire nor Silva has officially said they are dating. The whole thing is rumor based on the Super Bowl sighting plus insider claims.
