The death of Paul Walker is one of the greatest tragedies in the modern world of cinema. The actor famous for playing Brian O’Connor in the Fast and Furious film franchise died in a car accident at the young age of 40. Paul had a daughter at the time of his death and he was very close to her. He had taken a break from acting at the time to spend more time with his daughter. Paul had the girl with his former girlfriend, Rebecca McBrain and named her Meadow Rain Walker on the day she was born, November 4, 1999.
Who is Meadow Rain Walker, Paul Walker’s daughter? – Biography,
Depending on who you ask, it’s lucky you were born to one of the most famous actors on the planet. It is a status that gives you popularity and carries certain responsibilities, especially with regard to your behavior in public. None of this seemed to matter to Meadow Walker during his father’s lifetime. She was born on November 4, 1999, but spent her early years living with her mother in Hawaii. She didn’t have a chance to properly connect with her father before moving to Santa Barbara, California to live with him in her early teens.
Growing closer to her father, Meadow RainWalker became part of the larger Walker family which included her uncle Cody Walker, who is also an actor, and her grandfather, two-time Golden Gloves champion Paul William Walker III. Paul Walker has named Vin Diesel, his Fast and Furious franchise co-star and close friend, to be his godfather.
Moving to Santa Barbara was a big change in Meadow’s life. Along with growing closer to her dad, who she describes as her best friend, she was able to interact with many of her favorite actors and actresses while vacationing with her dad on movie sets.
Although there is no publicly documented information about her education history, Meadow is said to be a student. Additionally, she does not have a documented career of interest at the moment, but it is believed that she could follow in her footsteps due to her acting entourage due to her father’s profession. Although she has no job or career to focus on now, she pursues her father’s charities. Meadow ended up with her father’s estate worth over $25 million and she also won a lawsuit against Roger Rodas’ estate, which netted her $10.1 million.
As a teenager, her favorite TV show is Keeping Up With The Kardashians and she is a big fan of Justin Bieber. The singer invited him to one of her concerts shortly after her father’s death.
Paul’s death
On the day she lost her father, Paul had died in an accident on his way home from a charity event for ROWW (Reach Out Worldwide) which was his way of giving back. After his death, she moved to Hawaii to live with her mother, but a custody battle quickly ensued when her paternal grandmother, Cheryl Walker, sought to become her legal guardian.
Meadow, who was 14 at the time of her father’s birth, required a legal guardian’s death. The battle arose following heavy drinking by Meadow Rain’s mother. The young girl had settled in Santa Barbara in order to get away from her mother’s problems. Her mother, Rebecca Soteros, however, had improved in her absence and felt capable of raising her daughter. Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner David J. Cowan agreed with that decision when he said Meadow Rain’s legal guardian was Rebecca. Mother and daughter currently reside with Paul in California.
Meadow Rain Walker’s Mom
Not much information is available about Rain’s mother. We know her name is Rebecca Soteros and she was dating Paul Walker. Their relationship may not have lasted, but it gave birth to Meadow. Rebecca raised Meadow for the first 13 years of her life before a battle with alcohol abuse forced her to abandon her daughter to her father. But Meadow’s absence was an opportunity for her to work on herself and be a better person so her daughter could come home. She eventually got better and won a legal battle to become Meadow’s guardian after her father died. She currently lives with her daughter in California.
