Since the birth of Lyla Aranya Wilson, she has been in the spotlight, thanks to her celebrity father, Owen Wilson. But he doesn’t want her.
Lyla Aranya Wilson’s beautiful smile has won the hearts of many, except her father. It baffles everyone that Lyla’s dad has chosen to have no active participation in her life. This is even more strange as Owen is known for playing fatherly roles in movies.
So, why did Owen refuse to be a father to his daughter, and who is she?
Why Did Lyla Aranya Wilson’s Dad Doubt Her Parentage?
When Lyla’s mother, Varuine Vongsvirate, was pregnant with her in 2018, Owen Wilson voluntarily underwent a DNA test to confirm the paternity of their child, Lyla. Initially, there were doubts about Lyla’s parentage, leading Owen to request the test.
When informed of her pregnancy, Owen didn’t deny being the father, but he took steps to distance himself by changing his phone number. Additionally, he did not contribute financially towards Varunie’s medical expenses, baby supplies such as diapers, clothes, bottles, crib, stroller, and other necessities.
However, the results proved that he is indeed Lyla’s biological father. But despite this confirmation, Owen’s involvement in his daughter’s life has been minimal. He chose not to visit during Lyla’s childbirth and checked the “no visitation” box in court during a child support hearing.
These actions have led many of his fans to question whether Owen Wilson is a good father. It’s even sadder seeing there’s no relationship between Owen and his daughter, who looks so much like him.
When Did Lyla Aranya Wilson’s Parents End Their Relationship?
Owen and Varunie ended their relationship while she was still pregnant, and Owen has yet to meet his daughter. We can’t help but wonder if his actions towards his daughter result from his anger toward Varuine.
However, he does provide financial support for Lyla, paying a monthly sum of $25,000 in child support. Additionally, he made a one-time payment of $70,000 to cover previous expenses, such as a labor coach, a nurse, and Varunie’s legal fees. Despite these financial contributions, Owen has remained largely absent from Lyla’s life.
Owen Wilson’s Daughter’s Background
Born on October 9, 2018, in the United States, Lyla is the charming and vibrant daughter of Owen Wilson. Her flowing blonde hair and contagious smile captivate everyone around her, making her a bundle of joy.
Aside from her father, Owen, Lyla is fortunate to have two uncles who have made their mark in the film and television industry. One of her uncles is Luke Wilson, a renowned actor known for his roles in popular movies such as “Rushmore,” “My Dog Skip,” “Legally Blonde,” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”
He has also showcased his talent on notable TV shows like “That ’70s Show,” “Enlightened,” and “Stargirl.” Lyla’s other uncle, Andrew Wilson, who also pursued a career in acting, has some notable film credits too. He starred in “Fever Pitch,” “Idiocracy,” “Church Ball,” “Whip It,” “Druid,” and “Time Trap.”
While Lyla’s mother, Varunie, isn’t involved in the acting industry like Owen and her uncles, she has a stable career. Reports suggest that she works as a business development representative and holds a degree in Arts from UC San Diego. Varunie’s family background includes her Thai father and a brother who works in Thailand. Additionally, she has a sister.
Lyla Aranya Wilson’s Siblings
Lyla has two older half-brothers named Robert Ford and Finn Lindqvist Wilson. Robert was born on January 14, 2011, to Owen and his ex-girlfriend Jade Duell. Similarly, Finn Wilson entered the world through Owen Wilson’s relationship with his former partner and fitness trainer, Caroline Lindqvist.
Unlike how he treats Lyla, Owen is known to be a loving and devoted father to his boys. This situation gives more weight to another speculation about why Owen broke up with Lyla’s mother.
Speculations have arisen regarding Owen’s reluctance to have additional children beyond his two sons from previous relationships. Some theorize that during his relationship with Varunie, the actor may have expressed his desire not to have more children, while Varunie may have had a different viewpoint.
It is also speculated that their differing opinions on starting a family might have influenced their breakup. Some believe that Varunie intentionally became pregnant, which might have led to conflict and the eventual end of their relationship, resulting in Owen’s lack of involvement with his daughter, Lyla.
Lyla Aranya Wilson’s Instagram
Lyla does not have an Instagram account but regularly features on her mother’s Instagram account. The young girl debuted on Varunie’s active Instagram even before her birth.
A few months before giving birth, Varunie shared an ultrasound photo of her pregnancy, accompanied by a caption that introduced Lyla and mentioned that three months remained until her arrival.
Since Lyla was born, Varunie’s Instagram feed has revolved around her daughter. One could say that Lyla’s journey is being captured and shared with the world through her mother’s social media posts. Her love for her daughter is beautiful and hopefully enough to compensate for Owen’s absence.
Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman is another celebrity child who has never lacked his mother’s love from day one. His relationship with his mother is as heartwarming as that of Lyla and her mom.
