Who Is Jeremy Renner’s Ex-Wife? Who Is He Dating Now?
Jeremy Renner’s personal life in 2025 reflects a journey of resilience. At 54, the actor continues to co-parent his daughter, Ava Berlin Renner, with his ex-wife, Canadian model and sculptor Sonni Pacheco. The couple married in 2014 and divorced in 2015. Despite a tumultuous custody battle in 2019, which included serious allegations from Pacheco that Renner publicly denied, they now maintain a cooperative co-parenting relationship. Here’s what to know about Renner and Pacheco and who Renner is reportedly dating now.
Who is Jeremy Renner’s ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco?
Sonni Pacheco is a Canadian-born model, actress, sculptor, and realtor, best known for her brief marriage to actor Jeremy Renner. Born on March 31, 1991, in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Pacheco began her career in the entertainment industry before transitioning into the art world, reports Hollywood Life. She made minor appearances in films such as The Wingman (2012) and American Hustle (2013), where she had a cameo alongside Renner. Additionally, she appeared in American Pie Presents: The Book of Love (2009).
In early 2013, Pacheco reportedly worked as a model and spokesperson for Monster Energy Drinks.
After her acting career, Pacheco pursued sculpting, a passion she developed after the birth of her daughter in 2013. Her artwork, often described as visceral and emotionally charged while showing “the harrowing stories of womanhood,” has gained recognition in the art community. House of L says Pacheco has no formal art training, making her talent all the more impressive.
She also works as a realtor in the Los Angeles area at KW Beverly Hills, according to Instagram.
Pacheco and Renner first crossed paths in the early 2010s, reportedly through the entertainment industry circles in LA. Hollywood Life reports that they met on the set of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in 2011. They then had their daughter, Ava Berlin Renner, in March 2013, and tied the knot in January 2014.
In March 2023, Pacheco announced the birth of her daughter, Wylder Rayne, whom she shares with retired NFL player Nathan Thompson.
Jeremy Renner and Sonni Pacheco’s explosive divorce
Jeremy Renner’s divorce from Sonni Pacheco in 2014 was marked by significant public and legal challenges. The couple married in January 2014 and separated later that year. Pacheco filed for divorce in December 2014, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking primary custody of their daughter, Ava. Renner responded by requesting joint custody and contested aspects of the divorce, including the validity of their prenuptial agreement, which Pacheco alleged was based on fraud, according to People.
The ensuing custody battle was contentious, with Pacheco accusing Renner of being an unfit parent. She alleged that he had threatened to kill her and himself, and had engaged in reckless behavior while under the influence of substances. Renner denied these allegations, describing them to The Guardian as “clickbait.” Additional court documents showed Renner accusing Pacheco of transferring $50,000 over two years from their daughter’s trust fund account.
Despite the acrimony, the court ultimately approved joint custody of Ava in 2015. While speaking to The Guardian, Renner revealed that he and Pacheco remain in contact and “get along very well.”
“Her mom and I get along very well, and we’re in each other’s lives. It’s lovely,” Renner said, adding that their relationship is “no one’s business” but his own. “It’s great. She’s got a new baby, and she sends me beautiful pictures.”
Who is Jeremy Renner dating now?
As of October 2025, Jeremy Renner is reportedly in a relationship with Yi Zhou, a 37-year-old Chinese filmmaker and former Chanel model. Zhou confirmed their romance in a recent interview, stating, “We have been in a relationship,” and describing Renner as someone who has found “new love” with her, according to Reality Tea. The couple reportedly began dating several months after Renner’s recovery from his near-fatal snowplow accident in early 2023. Zhou has directed an anime project in which Renner lends his voice, and they are also working together on a documentary related to Disney.
Before his relationship with Zhou, Renner was reported to have dated 26-year-old influencer CC Mason in 2024.
