Varunie Vongsvirates dated the Marley And Me actor Owen Wilson for about five years, but their relationship was kept discreet. While no longer together, the former couple share a daughter, Lyla, who was born on October 9, 2018. Despite that, Wilson allegedly has never met his daughter with Varunie. Vongsvirates has also publicly stated that the actor although supports their daughter financially, has hardly seen the child.

Meanwhile, Wilson is a pretty recognizable face in Hollywood but his private life has been a secret. Nevertheless, this aspect of his life isn’t boring. The Marry Me actor has fathered three children, each with a different woman. The actor is apparently a good father to all his kids and is also on good terms with all the mothers of his children but Varunie.

Some courtroom dramas were also involved in the case of the ex-couple kid. Vongsvirates became pregnant with Wilson’s child around their separation in early 2018. Initially, Wilson refused to see his daughter and did not seek custody, even checking the no visitation box in court in June 2018.

He did, however, take a paternity test, which confirmed his fatherhood. While he was reluctant to meet his daughter, he paid around $25,000 a month in child support and covered additional expenses such as a night nurse, labor coach, and Vongsvirates’ legal fees. It, however, is still unknown if the 57-year-old has visited his daughter.

On the other hand, it is believed that Wilson and Vongsvirates’ relationship was serious as they were often seen enjoying each other’s company over coffee or lunch. In recent times, however, the two have hardly appeared alongside each other. It never came out why the two separated but most assume it had to do with Vongsvirates becoming the mother of his child.

In the meantime, Varunie frequently posts pictures of her daughter on Instagram, and Lyla carries Wilson’s last name. She does seem busy being the mother. Wilson also has two other children, Robert and Finn, with ex-girlfriends Jade Duell and Caroline Lindqvist, respectively.

Her Formative Years And Family Life

Varunie Vongsvirates, born in November 1983, has quite the story to tell. This Hollywood star’s ex-girlfriend has seen her share of highs and lows. Tragically, she lost her mother in the summer of 2014, a tough blow during her formative years. But with support from her Thai father and brother, Joshua, she’s kept going strong.

She isn’t just about family ties, though. She’s got brains to match, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master of Arts degree in counseling psychology from UMass Global. She put that degree to good use, working as a business representative for American Addiction Centers in sunny Santa Monica. Talk about a power move!

These days, it looks like Varunie has traded her business suits for something a bit more casual. She’s fully embraced life as a stay-at-home mom, making sure her daughter has a stable and loving home. And guess what? She’s also a boxing enthusiast! Yep, Varunie and her brother Joshua like to throw a few punches in the ring.

From her days in the business world to her current mom life and boxing sessions, Vongsvirates is proving she’s a force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye on this one—she’s always full of surprises!
