Avengers star Jeremy Renner has opened up on his relationship with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, who accused him of biting their daughter and threatening to kill them both
Marvel actor Jeremy Renner has opened up about his amicable relationship with his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco. The Hawkeye actor, who split from the ‘Wingman’ star Pacheco in 2014 after just 10 months of marriage, faced a tumultuous period in 2019 when Sonni sought full custody of their daughter Ava, now 12.
She made serious allegations against Jeremy, including threats of violence and harm to both himself and her, as well as an incident involving biting their child. Despite the bitter past, Jeremy, who has always denied the allegations made by Sonni, shared that they have found a way to co-parent effectively, maintaining a friendly rapport and sharing custody of Ava.
Speaking to the Guardian’s Saturday magazine, he remarked: “[We] get along very well, and we’re in each other’s lives. It’s lovely..”
He added with a touch of warmth, “It’s great. She’s got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures.”, reports the Daily Star.
The 54-year-old Hollywood star also discussed how the public scrutiny over the accusations affected him. He expressed: “Whatever stress I’ve had in life I’ve tried to find a way of laughing through it.
“And that’s where sometimes cynicism comes out – you think, ‘I’m just going to have a laugh at this stuff.'”.
Delving deeper into what he meant by “stuff”, Jeremy clarified: “Being accused of things you’ve not done, right? That doesn’t feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn’t feel good when you’re a celebrity and it’s known to everybody.”
Jeremy admitted that he was alluding to the claims raised during their divorce battle and kept maintaining his innocence.
He disclosed: “No, and they happen all the time. It’s all the salaciousness that happens out there. It’s clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanises people… It doesn’t matter to me what people say.
“They’re saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth. And I’m used to that, because I’m a public figure. I don’t read people’s reviews, I don’t read people’s comments. I don’t care. That’s not part of my life.”
Despite ex Sonni, 37, originally seeking full custody, the Hurt Locker star insisted he wasn’t worried about potentially missing out on quality time with his daughter.
He said: “That’s just lawyers talking. That’s lawyers arguing. The custody was easy.”
