Owen Wilson is one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood – playing major roles in a lot of family-friendly movies. He has also played a lot of action-based roles like his iconic role as “Hutch” in Starsky & Hutch.
Another one of his top-charters is The Wedding Crashers where he co-starred with superstar Vince Vaughn. A lot of his movies have been with Hollywood sensation Ben Stiller. Owen Wilson has starred alongside some of the biggest names in the movie industry and played unforgettable characters – he’s an incredible actor.
It’s no secret that Owen Wilson has played a major part in Hollywood – being the person who said “wow” in a way that became viral. When you think of him as a family man, you’d think his family life would be pretty decent. But sadly, the reality of his personal life is a bit different – life is the same for all of us, we go through ups and downs.
Throughout his illustrious career, Owen Wilson has been with three women. In 2011, he was with Jade Duell. The relationship sadly only lasted for a year. They have a son together. In 2014, Owen Wilson and Caroline Lindqvist had a son. And finally, in 2018, Owen Wilson spent some time with Varunie Vongsvirates. She had a daughter with him and the couple isn’t together anymore.
Wilson regularly sees his two sons. Despite paying $25k a month in child support, he has never met his daughter.
Owen Wilson pays $25,000 a month to support his daughter, who he has never met. RadarOnline has learned that the actor agreed to pay the enormous amount to his former lover Varunie Vongsvirates. His DNA test last year proved he was the father.
The young girl was born in October 2019, though Vongsvirates filed a paternity petition in court in May 2018 while she was pregnant.
The courts ruled that it was time Owen Wilson started supporting the child once the results proved that he was the father. He is now paying his ex $25,000 per month for Layla’s care and expenses, and he has added her to his Screen Actors Guild medical insurance.
Moreover, he had to pay a one-time amount of $70,000, which was used to hire a night nurse, a labor coach, and his ex’s attorney.
Vongsvirates had full custody of her daughter, but she has stated that she still wishes to meet her father online. The former couple signed a contract promising not to slander each other online, in public interviews, or public.
According to The Daily Mail, when asked if she had a message for her ex, she said this:
“You should see your daughter, she’s incredible, you’re really missing out. She looks just like you.”
In her opinion, Layla deserves his time and attention just as much as his two kids, Ford and Finn. Let’s hope the actor will come around, and his little girl will not grow up feeling unloved by her father.

I have less respect for Owen. Sure he pays support but he abandoned his daughter and spent time with his two other kids. Children deserve better and his daughter deserves a father and to be around her brothers. In my opinion, it still makes Mr. Wilson a deadbeat dad.
Until you know what or why this situation is happening, you are the deadbeat.
Only a horrible person would be incapable of loving any child, much alone their own. I’m sure he only pays because the court made him .
Owen NEEDS to step up for his daughter. He is paying child support don’t be one of those dads that have no interest in his child but able to support financially. Which is really hurtful to a child. Money doesn’t buy love. Since Owen spends time with his sons he should be spending time with daughter even if it’s through video chats
loser!!!
She filed the petition in May of 2018 but she wasn’t born until October 2019……… either somebody got bamboozled or i would question the validity of this article… I think you might in fact be the biggest loser ^
The baby was actually born on 10/9/2018.
Bad example of a father shame on him
I think she is money hungry.. it doesn’t take $25,000 a month to support a baby.. and he should only be responsible for half… and that’s with visitation rights…. She is being bitter and petty.. and any judge should be able to see that..
I totally disagree with you. Men should take responsibility for jumping in bed. This lady should be compensated for the time she carried his child, the labor and being mother to his daughter 24/7. Plus, he has the means. She deserves every penny.
He has visitation rights, he refuses to see her, she’s gonna need every penny of that 25k per month to keep her from having abandonment and daddy issues 🤔🙄
No where does it say he has visitation Rights, no one knows the story or what happened. People are so quick to judge a situation they know nothing about.
How is she being bitter? Child support is designed for the child to have the same lifestyle as the parent and is based off his income . Hence the large payment. If you rich and your childs mother was only able to afford to survive that’s not really right for the kid. The child deserves to get what’s appropriate based off the parents income and live that lifestyle. To be honest she should probably get more since he refuses to meet her.
Never let life get so busy that you neglect the most important things in it. It is gone in an instant and those memories and moments that you let slip away and will later regret are what matter. If this is truth spoken, I hope you reach out, Owen, and open your arms to this beautiful little girl before another day gets away. It is no one else’s place to judge, however, as this involves the lives of these three.
Oh God, you women play the victim. It clearly states SHE has full custody. Most likely this is a slander piece to make it look like Owen is the bad guy. Reality is though, we don’t know the full picture
Truth! It doesn’t say anything about his response to this article or the situation. There’s two sides to em this story. People, don’t believe EVERYTHING you think you hear and /or read! 🙄
He refuses to see her, he checked the “no visitation” box on the court order giving his ex custody. He was with her for 5 years before she got pregnant and was in such a bad mental state when they split that he tried to take his own life. He doesn’t want to meet his daughter because he doesn’t want to put himself in a position to fall back into that bad mental state.
It’s not our place to judge!
Don’t base opinions about a proven hard working professional actor based on one article. Notice it doesn’t show any evidence of his side of this situation or a response from him. And she has full custody?! That is not a realistically common scenario. It doesn’t take $25K/month to raise one child. (some observations based on the source)…
He better get to work.
Honestly no one really knows what goes on and he might not be seeing her on his own or she could be stopping him from seeing her and saying he isn’t seeing her to gain attention. If it’s his own decision then he should step up and show her love from a father.
No one’s business but theirs. If he is the one refusing Visitation, that is misfortune.
He should meet his daughter and become a part of her life.
There is always 3 sides to a story. His hers and the truth. No where does it show his side to this and none or us are actually around them to know the truth. Therefore we cannot judge based off one article. Thou shall not throw stones living in glass houses.
There is this story, his story and then the truth. Don’t buy into the madness to slander Owen Wilson. Not for anything, $300000 a year to raise a child is a bit steep. Sounds like he’s caring for the ex and the child, and she’s thankless and wants more
Money, so throwing him under the bus. Ridiculous.
Never judge anyone until you have walked in their shoes. Not to take anything away from the baby girl she deserves to have Mr. Owen and her siblings in her life as they would benefit from knowing and having her in their lives. Who knows what went on between him and the mother of the daughter she could be a clingy, crazy vengeful person that just can’t get past him not being with her. I don’t know. But there has to be some good reason for him not include his only daughter?
Well it’s important to have a mother and a father figure in your life. But it is also important not to have chaos. We cannot discern what kind of chaos there is between the mother and father. At least she has money to take good care of her daughter.
