Wilson and Varunie, Lyla’s parents, dated from 2013 to 2018. They had been dating for five years, with various breakups in the middle. Varunie and her daughter’s father divorced in 2018, but the ex-couple has since become embroiled in a custody battle over their child.
Around the time of their final divorce, the ex-partners fell pregnant. Varunie found out she was pregnant with Wilson’s child four weeks before her due date. When Vongsvirates informed Wilson that she was pregnant, the Texas-born actor denied being the father and even changed his phone number. Owen also failed to pay for Varunie’s medical costs, diapers, baby clothes, bottles, crib, and other necessities.
Vongsvirate tried to call Wilson numerous times after Lyla was born, pleading with him to come meet his baby. Wilson then took a paternity test in June 2018. The results later revealed that the Wedding Crashers actor was Lyla’s biological father.
Varunie has also taken to Instagram to criticize Wilson. Vongsvirates stated on Instagram that although Owen was in the film Father Figures, he couldn’t be a real father. Varunie told the Daily Mail in 2019 that “Owen has never met Lyla.” Never.” She stated at the time that the Dallas-born actor assists them financially, but that it was never an issue. During an interview with the Daily Mail, Vongsvirates begged Wilson to visit his daughter and praised her. During the same interview, Varunie added,
“Lyla requires a father figure. It’s odd that [Owen] keeps receiving father parts; in his current film, he plays a father who has never met his own daughter.”
According to sources, Wilson clicked a box indicating that he did not want Lyla to have visitation rights. Wilson, on the other hand, as previously said, pays a large sum of money in child support for Lyla. This was after a DNA test revealed Lyla was indeed his daughter. The Loki star has been ordered by the court to pay $25,000 a month in child support. In addition, the actor was required to pay $70,000 as a one-time payment to cover Varunie’s labor expenses.
