Owen Wilson is undoubtedly an amazing father to his two sons, Robert and Finn. However, the actor has come under fire in recent years for neglecting his youngest child and only daughter, despite her mother's begging. Here are the details.

Since his career in show business began, American Actor Owen Wilson has proven to be a bundle of talent, continuously wowing fans with the perfect execution of his movie roles.

Away from the big screen, the Hollywood star's life is as worthy of attention as his thriving career. Over the years, Wilson has continuously given the tabloids and netizens what to talk about, especially due to his romantic escapades.

The actor has dated several women, famous and not, but has never said: "I do." But although Wilson has not tied the knot with any of his previous partners, the "Marry Me" star has fathered three kids with three of them.

In January 2011, the 53-year-old welcomed his first child and son, Robert, with his ex-girlfriend, Jade Buell. It was a huge milestone for Wilson, who later revealed that becoming a father was thrilling.

Before the arrival of his son, the Hollywood star was never interested in newborn babies, but the birth of Robert changed everything. It took the father of three one month to realize that he had formed a real connection with his son.

During a chat shortly after Robert's arrival, Wilson noted that he and his child were so bonded that the latter's cries were like beautiful music. Ultimately, Wilson cherished the moments he shared with Robert and could not have had it any other way.

A few years after the birth of his first child, fatherhood would get even better for Wilson. In late 2013, the actor confirmed he was expecting a second child with his one-time Personal Trainer, Caroline Lindqvist.

At the time, Wilson and his baby mama were reportedly not a couple or living together, but the actor was actively involved in Lindqvist's pregnancy.

According to a source, Wilson was always present during the doctor's appointments and ensured his baby mama was doing well and following the doctor's orders.

After months of active care from his former personal trainer, the duo finally welcomed their son, Finn, at 3 am on January 30, 2014. Years after his arrival, Wilson enjoys being a father to Finn and his older brother, Robert.

Owen Wilson's Relationship with His Sons

Having children with different baby mamas may not be easy to handle, but Wilson appears to be doing fine. Despite his busy schedule, he is successfully co-parenting his two sons and devotes adequate time to Robert and Finn.

According to Vongsvirates, the father of three had never met Layla and even though he helped financially, being physically present and supportive was the most important thing.

It is no news that Wilson loves to keep his family life private. However, the showbiz star occasionally shares his relationship with his boys. In August 2021, Wilson had an interview with Esquire, where he shared some highlights of his time with Robert and Finn.

According to the award-winning actor, one of the highlights was telling his sons stories at night in their pajamas, the same way his dad used to do with him and his brothers, Andrew and Luke. In Wilson's words:

"Sometimes telling the stories at night, you do take a little pride that these guys are into this story! One of them even said, 'Dad, you should do something with this. This is a really good story.'"

Besides telling his children stories, Wilson also enjoys riding bikes with them. The "Midnight In Paris" actor and his boys were once spotted enjoying a bike ride on a sunny afternoon in Maui. Wilson donned a blue t-shirt and gray shorts, paired with a cap and casual footwear.

The doting dad sat comfortably on the rider's seat, peddling the bike, while his younger son, Finn, sat at the top of the bike, dressed in a red t-shirt and striped pants.

Finn's older brother, Robert, was caught on camera in a black t-shirt and gray pants, following behind while seemingly pushing the bike.

It was a beautiful sight as the trio seemed happy to be in one another's company. The actor and his sons have also been seen taking walks and spending time in public on other occasions.

Besides telling stories, riding bikes, and walking, Wilson loves making meals for Finn and Robert. Although he is not good at cooking, the actor has revealed that he can make a good sandwich.

Owen Wilson Wants Nothing to Do With His Only Daughter

While Wilson has been fulfilling his role as an amazing father to Robert and Finn, the actor has neglected his little daughter, Lyla, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Varunie Vongsvirates.

The pair had been romantically involved for five years before Vongsvirates gave birth to their daughter on October 9, 2018. Four months before his daughter arrived, Wilson had willingly undergone a paternity test which proved that Lyla was his daughter. However, despite the DNA test, Wilson's baby mama revealed that the actor was not involved in his daughter's life.

According to Vongsvirates, the father of three had never met Layla and even though he helped financially, being physically present and supportive was the most important thing. Following her revelation, Vongsvirates pleaded with Wilson to accept their daughter. The single mom said:

"You should see your daughter. She's incredible, and you're really missing out. She looks just like you."

She further explained that Lyla needed a father figure, adding that it was ironic that Wilson got to play father characters in his movies while neglecting his daughter.

It is believed that Wilson wants no part in his daughter's life. According to reports, the actor has no intentions of visiting Lyla or enjoying custody of the little girl.
