When listing Hollywood actors who are known for radiating joy and friendliness, Owen Wilson is likely to be on the top of many people’s lists. With a remarkable talent for comedy and an approachable persona, Wilson has garnered a massive fan base around the world. However, behind his charming exterior, there seems to be a hidden and rather murky aspect of his personal life that rarely sees the light of day.
Wilson, who is now 54 years old, has had a successful career in the film industry, starring in blockbuster films like “Starsky & Hutch,” “Wedding Crashers,” “Night at the Museum,” and Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris.” While millions adore him for his funny and relatable characters, his personal life has not been a smooth ride.
It has been reported that Wilson adamantly refuses to meet his 4-year-old daughter, Lyla. In fact, during court proceedings, he checked the box that indicated he wanted no visitation rights. When Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, Varunie Vongsvirates, informed him of her pregnancy in 2018, he immediately cut ties with her. Some sources even claim that he changed his phone number and ignored Vongsvirates’ message about the pregnancy.
Since Lyla’s birth in October 2018, Wilson’s only involvement in her life has been providing financial support through $25,000 per month in child support payments. On top of that, he has also spent $70,000 covering the expenses of a labor coach, a night nurse, and Vongsvirates’ legal fees. However, Wilson has no interest in meeting his daughter or seeking custody.
Vongsvirates has repeatedly implored Wilson to be a part of their daughter’s life, highlighting that he is a loving and attentive father to his two sons from previous relationships. However, when it comes to Lyla, Wilson seems disinterested and distant. He has gone to great lengths to distance himself from both his daughter and her mother, even when Vongsvirates sent him a heartbreaking message saying, “You should go visit your daughter; she’s great, and you’re losing out. She looks just like you.” Allegedly, Lyla has her father’s baby blue eyes and brilliant blonde hair.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Vongsvirates revealed Wilson’s complete lack of involvement in Lyla’s life, stating, “He helps financially but it’s never been about that. Lyla needs a father. It’s ironic how [Owen] keeps getting these father roles; he’s playing a father in his new movie and he’s never met his own daughter.”
The situation raises questions about Wilson’s attitude towards his own daughter. It is truly disheartening to witness someone acting so coldly towards their own child, regardless of the circumstances. What are your thoughts on Owen Wilson’s actions?
