The ex was later identified as Jes Macallen; a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the couple “used to date but it wasn’t serious.” The actor had previously complained that Macallen was at a different stage in her career while the two dated.
“That was part of the issue,” he said in a 2012 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I was going through the Hurt Locker campaign and she’s like, ‘Where do I get headshots?'”
During his time shooting the film, Renner also admitted that he had been extremely “lonely.”
“People had full-on mental breakdowns; I did,” Renner told THR about shooting “The Hurt Locker.” “Pure loneliness, that’s what it came down to.”
But Renner apparently recuperated from his loneliness after becoming more serious with Pacheco. A representative for the actor confirmed the birth of his daughter.
“Jeremy Renner and girlfriend Sonni Pacheco have confirmed that they are the parents of a 7 lb. daughter Ava Berlin Renner,” the representative told Us Weekly.
Friends of the actor have said that he will make a good father.
“Jeremy will make a great dad!” one friend told Us.
Renner has appeared in action flicks that include “Thor,” “The Avengers,” and “The Bourne Legacy.”
Who Is Jeremy Renner’s Daughter?
Jeremy shares glimpses into Ava’s life via Instagram. The California native is a doting dad — he even has let his daughter give him a makeover. Of course, her father being an A-list actor has allowed Ava to go on tons of fun adventures. Photos on Instagram show the father-daughter duo walking the streets of New York City while he filmed Hawkeye, skiing, visiting a zoo and more.
“I’ll walk with you anywhere, from your first step to my last … I’m so blessed to share this amazing journey with you,” the Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol actor wrote in 2021 while visiting the Big Apple with Ava.
Aside from social media, fans watched an emotional moment between Jeremy and Ava in a photo that was seemingly captured following his January 2023 snowcat accident, which he recounted during his April 2023 interview with Diane. In the snap, the onscreen superhero hugged his daughter. In the interview, Jeremy recalled what Ava said to him some time after he began his healing process.
“She didn’t have to say anything,” he explained to Diane during the interview. “She said she’s scared. She said she loved me.”
On January 1, 2023, Jeremy was involved in a severe accident in Nevada after using his snowcat. He sustained injuries including blunt chest trauma and multiple broken ribs as a result of being run over by the large machine. Months after the incident, he and Ava walked the red carpet at the premiere for Jeremy’s Disney+ series, Rennervations, in April 2023
