Marriage to Deborah Kaplan

In 2001, Meyer married Deborah Kaplan, a film director and screenwriter recognized for her work on teen comedies. Together, they have two children. Despite their seemingly strong public presence, the couple announced their divorce in 2012 after an extended period of separation. The listing of their home for sale was one of the first public indicators of their pending split.

Separation and Privacy

Both Meyer and Kaplan chose to remain private about the reasons behind their separation. They did not publicly comment on speculation regarding the divorce, and documents related to custody or settlement agreements remain undisclosed. According to reports, while the divorce proceedings were reportedly amicable, the process was emotionally challenging for both parties.

Rumors and Public Speculation

There were occasional rumors about Meyer’s personal life, including unfounded speculation about his sexuality, which stemmed from on-screen portrayals rather than his private identity. Additionally, Meyer was briefly linked to actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. However, Hewitt dismissed the rumors during an interview, describing their relationship as sibling-like.

Post-Divorce Relationships and Public Image

Following the divorce, neither Meyer nor Kaplan appeared to enter into new public relationships, which led to assumptions that they had not been involved with other partners during the decline of their marriage. People close to the couple apparently were not surprised by the separation, citing their prolonged estrangement and limited communication, which was primarily centered around their children.
