With more than 80 acting credits under his belt, Owen Wilson is one of the most successful and beloved comedy actors of this generation. Since his acting debut in Bottle Rocket (1996), Wilson has appeared in many successful films and TV shows, including The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay, Zoolander (2001), Starsky & Hutch (2004), Wedding Crashers (2005), Marley & Me (2008), Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris (2011), and Disney+’s Loki (2021–present).


With his successful career, Owen Wilson has amassed a considerable net worth. But it seems that a lot of his money is going to child support for his daughter with Varunie Vongsvirates, who he has never met. What’s more, the Zoolander star had to pay more than $100,000 for the birth of said estranged daughter. Given that Wilson tends to keep his personal life private, the news about his personal life, as regards his child with an estranged woman, has surprised most of his fans.

Although the pair chose to keep their relationship off the spotlight, it hit the tabloids when Vongsvirates announced she was pregnant. The couple had already broken up at the time. And, in 2018, by the time Lyla Aranya Wilson was born, the actor demanded a DNA test. The test revealed that he was, in fact, the father of Lyla. But, according to Vongsvirates, Wilson has chosen not to be a part of their daughter’s life.

Owen Wilson Pays $25,000 A Month On Child Support For His Estranged Daughter, And Gave A Big One-Off Payment

Owen Wilson maintains no relationship with his daughter Lyla. His ex, Varunie Vongsvirates, even claims that the actor has never met their kid. Despite this, the Marley & Me star has had to pay a considerable amount in child support over the years. After the DNA test Wilson insisted upon revealed he is Lyla’s father, the couple’s lawyers agreed to a $25,000 monthly payment for child support.

In addition to paying more than $300,000 in child support a year, reports have shown that the actor also gave $103,128 as a one-off payment to Vongsvirates to pay for a night nurse and labor coach for their daughter’s birth. The amount was also used to cover the legal fees and part of the monthly child support he had to pay. On top of that, Wilson agreed to add his daughter to his Screen Actors Guild medical insurance.

Lyla is Wilson’s third kid. Before her, the actor and his then-girlfriend Jade Duell had a son in 2011. And in 2014, Wilson had a son with personal trainer Caroline Lindqvist. While the relationship with his daughter is strained, Wilson seems to have a good relationship with his two sons, who he mentions frequently in interviews.
