Here's What Owen Wilson's Three Children Look Like – Including the One He Reportedly Hasn't Met

The "Hall Pass" actor has taken on countless roles throughout his Hollywood career, but his real-life role as a father is far more layered. From rare glimpses of his sons to reports about the daughter he's never met, here's what we know.

In a shocking twist that has rocked fans, beloved comedy star Owen Wilson is facing heartbreaking allegations that he has never laid eyes on his own daughter, despite acknowledging paternity. The actor, famed for playing charming father figures on screen, is now accused of turning his back on a real-life child he allegedly fathered with his ex-girlfriend.

A Princess Ignored: Daughter Born, but No Dad in Sight

In October 2021, the world learned that Owen had quietly welcomed a daughter, Lyla Aranya Wilson, with former flame Varunie Vongsvirates, but the fanfare stopped there. The child's Thai middle name, Aranya, honors her paternal heritage, yet her Hollywood father reportedly remains a ghost in her life.

Social media glimpses showed a glowing Varunie during her pregnancy — yoga in the park, baby shower joy, and a heartfelt memory of Maui, Hawaii, where she discovered she was expecting. Owen's ex first revealed she was pregnant in June 2021 by sharing a photo of Layla's ultrasound with the caption, "Say hello to Lyla 👶 3 months to go! 😍."

In another post, she beamed, ''Girl power 💪 #31weekspregnant.'' But the glow quickly faded. Varunie later claimed that Owen ''has never met her [sic] unfortunately.'' She gave birth to their daughter on October 9, 2018 — a healthy baby girl, 6 lbs. 13 oz., and 21 inches long.

Varunie captioned her child's first social media photo, "My sweet little princess 💝 Lyla Aranya Wilson, born on 10-09-18." Owen was reportedly nowhere to be seen. An insider confirmed that the baby is Owen's spitting image, saying:

"The baby looks just like Owen. She has fair skin, blonde hair [sic] and blue eyes.''

Even more disturbingly, the source revealed, Owen "has not contacted Varunie at all'' — not during the pregnancy, nor after the birth. They claimed the actor "knew all along that Varunie was pregnant. Owen was told when Varunie was four weeks pregnant,'' following their Hawaiian getaway.

Owen's rep deflected inquiries, saying only, ''This is a private matter [sic] and it's not appropriate to comment further.''

The insider painted a double-edged picture, saying, ''Owen has been a great father to his boys and has maintained a warm and close relationship with their mothers. Of course, if a paternity test establishes that he is the father of another child, he will fulfill all of his obligations to support his child.''

That paternity test? It happened in June 2018, and confirmed the actor was indeed the father. Yet shockingly, an insider alleged that Owen ''checked the no visitation box in court in June," and had no desire for custody or visitation.

'It's Never Been About That:' Heartbroken Mother Speaks Out

In 2019, Varunie shared her pain, pleading for the actor to acknowledge his daughter. ''He's not involved at all," she said, before acknowledging his financial support, but stressed, ''It's never been about that.''

Her words cut deep, "Lyla needs a father. It's ironic how [Owen] keeps getting these father roles, [sic] he's playing a father in his new movie, and he's never met his own daughter.'' The couple reportedly dated casually for five years before splitting, but no one expected this level of detachment.

For Lyla's third birthday, her mother posted a sweet photo of her dressed in beige, smiling innocently. Her piercing blue eyes and golden locks were unmistakably reminiscent of her famous father — a man she still had never met.

Devoted to His Boys: Ford and Finn Get the Attention

Besides Lyla, Owen has two sons he's actively involved with — Robert Ford and Finn, each from different relationships. He shares Ford with former girlfriend Jade Duell, whom he reportedly split from in 2011.

His second son, Finn, was born on January 30, 2014, to ex-Caroline Lindqvist, a fitness trainer who was divorcing her then-husband, plastic surgeon Ritu Chopra, when her pregnancy was made public.

Back when Caroline was pregnant, a source said, ''They are not living together, but Owen is involved [in the pregnancy]. He comes to doctor's appointments and makes sure Caroline is doing well.'' Finn was born at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

Owen has since said both his sons live close by, everyone gets along, and he follows a single-dad routine. He even shared a funny parenting moment involving nail-trimming gone wrong.

While trimming Finn's fingernails, the boy protested, ''Don't go below the line!'' Owen said to him, "Just relax!" Afterward, the actor said to his son, "What do you say?" and the boy dutifully replied, "Thaaank youu," but then muttered to his brother, "for nothing." Owen heard the quip, recalling how he'd once done the same thing!

A Comedic Father Onscreen and Off

In a 2017 appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show,'' Owen spoke lovingly about his boys. He calls Robert by his middle name, Ford, and explained how Finn idolizes him, ''It's unbelievable. I mean, anything Ford says is just, like, the funniest thing ever, and I can make a joke [sic] and it's, like, crickets. It's like nothing from those guys."

The actor joked, ''I'm already sort of seeing how they're gonna be as teenagers, where they're gonna be sort of be [sic] ganging up on me.'' He even recounted a comical family trip to Sequoia National Park, where Ford, unimpressed by the famed General Sherman tree, declared, ''I've seen bigger.''

The actor informed his son that the tree was the General Sherman, and the biggest tree, only to get the reply, "If you say so." Frustrated, Owen insisted that the information wasn't from him and actually written on the plaque, to which his son replied, "I can't read."

When Ellen DeGeneres pressed on parenting styles, the star quipped, ''I'm not as easygoing as my parents were, but no one's as easygoing as parents in the '70s were.'' The actor also reminisced about his own youth — one with no helmets, sunscreen, or seatbelts.

His mom, he said, would simply throw an arm across him to stop him from flying through the windshield while he stood in the passenger's seat. Owen's parents often dropped him and his siblings, Andrew and Luke Wilson, at the pool all day, returning hours later to find them sunburnt — and just say, ''Oh, you got great color, you look so good.''

Bedtime Stories and Golf Dreams for Three – But Not Four

In an August 2021 interview, Owen said he still told bedtime stories to his sons, just like his own dad did. His tales feature a recurring character, Crazy Maggie, who's known for her "terrifying and mirthless laugh."

The actor recounted, "Sometimes [sic] telling the stories at night, you do take a little pride that these guys are into this story!" One of his boys even suggested he publish the stories. One such tale? A band of boys surviving in a post-apocalyptic world alongside a pack of dogs. Heartwarming stuff — unless you're the daughter left out of bedtime routines altogether.

In May 2025, at the Los Angeles premiere of his sports comedy, "Stick,'' Owen spoke about slowly introducing his sons to golf. At the time, Ford was 14, Finn was 11, and Lyla was six.

He said, ''I'm trying, it’s hard sometimes with kids because it's like me, as a kid, you want to play soccer or football and stuff. Golf does not come easily.'' Still, he took the boys to Topgolf, which they enjoyed, with him adding, "And so that's the way I'm kind of sneaking them into sort of learning a swing."

Owen shared how both boys have their own strengths when it comes to the sport. ''Ford... really does have a good swing. And then Finn, his grandfather was actually apparently the town champion in Sweden where he lives, so he's got it in him [sic],'' the actor added.

His dream? "So I would hope that would be a great thing if one day we're all in Ireland together playing golf." But that ''we'' seemingly does not include Lyla — the forgotten daughter, uninvited to the fairway.

Despite the complexities of his personal life, Owen Wilson continues to embrace fatherhood in his own way. As his children grow, his role as both a dad and storyteller remains central to his identity.
