Tobey Maguire, 49, had his hands full when he took a dip in the Mediterranean with model Babette Strijbos, 24, seemingly confirming their rumored romance after recently being linked to Lily Chee, 20.
The “Spider-Man” actor packed on the PDA with Strijbos on July 31, as they waded in a secluded area of a private beach in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Maguire snuck away from his best buddy Leonardo DiCaprio to spend solo time with his new gal pal during their vacation in Italy.
The 5-foot-10-inch model — who has posed for Abercrombie, Free People and Realisation Par — stunned in a skin-colored bikini and let her curly locks flow as she canoodled with Maguire during their passionate swim. The two could barely stay above water, hanging all over each other while passionately kissing.
Strijbos flaunted her long legs and slender frame in the revealing two-piece while “The Great Gatsby” actor rocked navy blue swim trunks with attention-grabbing floral print.
The pair stripped on land before jumping into the sea, with Maguire keeping his eyes on the model as she removed her swimsuit coverup to reveal her itty-bitty bikini.
The award-winning star slipped off his plain white shirt to reveal his bare chest. He paired the casual beach look with a dog tag necklace and a ring on a separate chain while rocking stylish black sunglasses to protect his eyes from the sun.
Once Maguire and Strijbos dipped in the water, it was game on.
The pair clung to each other in between kisses, with the Hollywood actor rocking a huge smile on his face. Strijbos was photographed wrapping her arms around Maguire’s neck as the two shared loving embraces. At one point, they even gazed into each other’s eyes.
When the “Babylon” actor wasn’t grabbing onto the blond stunner, he was seen with his phone in one hand and a pink puff pen in the other.
Between dips in the crystal-clear water, Maguire and his latest bombshell laid out on daybeds and soaked up sunshine.
Strijbos, who’s 25 years his junior, isn’t the only much younger lady he’s been linked to in the past few weeks — and if you thought their age gap was wide, it’s nothing when compared to his most recent rumored flame.
Maguire was spotted leaving billionaire Michael Rubin’s 4th of July White Party with 20-year-old model Lily Chee last month. The move left many believing she was the actor’s new flavor of the week. Chee is only three years older than Maguire’s daughter, Ruby Sweetheart, 17, and five years older than his son, Otis Tobias.
He welcomed both children with his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer during their marriage. She dispelled the rumors that Maguire was dating Chee, responding to a comment from an Instagram troll who asked why Maguire was “banging someone 3 years older than” their daughter.
She wrote in part: “he was kindly helping a friend to her car. … And now he has [been] blasted online for dating someone he is not.”
The actor and his ex separated in 2016, and Meyer filed for divorce in 2020. The former Mrs. Maguire, who’s a famous jewelry designer, credited her good friend Gwyneth Paltrow for making her conscious uncoupling so easy.
“Right when Tobey and I were starting to break up, I watched what Gwyneth Paltrow was starting to do with Chris — this conscious uncoupling that everyone was making fun of,” Meyer said on the “Broad Ideas” podcast in July.
“I got to see it firsthand, and it was the most beautiful thing that I had ever witnessed two human beings go through. She was so loving and kind and open to him and she created this family.”
As for Maguire, he’s been on a rotation of models since his marriage crumbled — just like his best buddy, Leo. The two have been overseas, enjoying Italy before the summer comes to an end.
The day before Maguire snuck away with Strijbos, he was on a yacht with DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
