Meadow Rain Walker was born on November 4, 1998, in Los Angeles, California, to Paul Walker and Rebecca Soteros. Paul, who was 25 at the time, was in high demand as an actor after starring in the critically praised film "Pleasantville."
During the following year, his film appearances in the blockbuster films "Varsity Blues" and "She's All That" helped prepare him for his ultimate global popularity in the 2001 film "The Fast and the Furious.". His ex-girlfriend Rebecca Soteros became pregnant just as his career was taking off. "The whole thought of being a dad was scary to me," he revealed to CosmoGirl in 2003 (via OK!).
"I don't think anybody thinks that they're truly prepared or ready for that." However, he was well aware that he could not just ignore his daughter. Paul told WENN (via Young Hollywood) that Meadow grew up in Hawaii with Soteros and that he was financially supporting her" He explained to the outlet that he had to reconcile his views that "mom and dad were supposed to be together" and accept that he personally was not ready for marriage or settling down. This does not mean he did not feel bad. "I felt guilt, so I'd come around and do what I could do," he shared.
