“And now he has been blasted online for dating someone he is not.”
She said that the pics are been misinterpreted and continued:
“I’m disengaging after this. But don’t believe everything you read (I’m sure you were taught that somewhere). Tobey is as good of a guy as it gets.”
Tobey and Jennifer had met in 2003 at the Universal Studios when Tobey was shooting for his film Seabiscuit. He proposed to Jennifer in April 2006 and she said yes.

However, the marriage collapsed and on 18 October 2016, the two announced their separation. And four years later in 2020, Jennifer filed her papers for divorce from Tobey.
Who is Lily Chee?
We do know that Tobey is a film producer and actor who had played the role of Spiderman from 2002 to 2007. He reprised his role in 2021 in Spiderman: No Way Home. He has other good roles to his credit and has also launched his own production company.
On the other hand, Lily has made a name for herself in the modeling industry of the world. She is based now in New York and has a height of 1.73 m. Her father is Malaysian while her mother has Irish and Scottish genes. Lily is also trying her luck in acting. She played young Elektra in one episode of the superhero series Daredevil. She has also appeared in one episode of the medical series New Amsterdam.
Lily is active on social media and has more than one millions fans on Instagram and TikTok. Despite that, she does not like the social media platform and has in 2020 said that it is a toxic area. She had said:
“What has always bothered me are the negative assumptions people have about you. Just because I’m a social media personality who shares a lot of my life doesn’t mean you know everything about me,”
“For example, I’ve hung out with a couple of boys who are quite popular on TikTok and many people began assuming that I’m dating them. It caused a lot of drama and I learnt the hard way that if I respond to negativity, people will immediately assume you’re lying, and it’ll make things even more messy. So, I’ve learnt to never respond to negativity.”
