She also shared another habit she inherited from her dad: “I grew up with crystals in the house and I actually have my dad’s entire collection, probably more than 30—including massive ones the size of a laptop—in my apartment,” she said. “I’ve been putting them out in the moonlight and charging them for as long as I can remember.” In the wake of Walker’s posthumous appearance in Fast and Furious 9, keep reading to learn more about this burgeoning, beguiling star with everything you want to know about Meadow Rain Walker—including her new husband!

Is Meadow Walker in a relationship?
Yes! In August 2021, TMZ reported that Walker was engaged to Louis Thornton-Allan, who is reportedly an actor—but presumably still an up-and-coming one, as he doesn’t appear to have any credits on IMDb (although, on his Instagram profile, he notes that he is attending or did attend Stella Adler, a famous acting school in New York City). Walker hinted at their engagement when she shared an Instagram video on August 9 that shows her silently showing off a diamond ring on her left hand while playing around in a pool. She captioned the clip with a series of heart emoticons. It seems that walker and Thornton-Allan’s romance is also a fast and furious one, as they’d just made their relationship Instagram-official about four weeks prior. That’s when he shared a snap in which he called Walker his “best friend.” On Oct. 22, photos posted online proved that the two tied the knot in a hush-hush ceremony with none other than Meadow’s late father’s best friend, Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel, walking her down the aisle. Both the bride and groom have since shared several festive photos from their very special day on Instagram.
Who is Meadow Walker’s mom?
RebeccaSoteros is most commonly described as a one-time girlfriend of Walker’s. GossipCop once reported that Soteros, who was almost the same age as Walker, dated him “in his early 20s right before his career took off.” (He was about 25 when Meadow was born.) The outlet added, “From past interviews with Walker, it appears their relationship wasn’t too serious, and getting pregnant took them both by surprise.” In an interview that ran right before his death, Walker admitted that he wasn’t ready to settle down and commit when Soteros became pregnant. “I knew where I was at with chicks and having fun. I mean, I was sleeping with her friends, for crying out loud,” he told WENN. ”What left me off the hook emotionally was at least I was providing financially, but emotionally I wasn’t there yet.” However, he also said he was “grateful I had her at 25 [years old] and not 20 because, at 40 and 15, we’re matching up sweet!”
Was Meadow Walker adopted?
There have been some twists and turns—and rumors—when it comes to who raised Meadow, but she’s never been adopted. She lived with her mother in Hawaii until she was about 13 years old, at which point she moved to California to live with Walker. About eight months before he was killed, Walker told Entertainment Weekly about the transition, “My daughter lives with me full time now and she’s the best partner I’ve ever had. It’s so nuts. I’ve never had anything like this in my life.” After Walker’s death, a custody battle erupted between Soteros and Cheryl Walker, Paul’s mom and Meadow’s paternal grandmother. Cheryl filed legal documents to try to gain guardianship over Meadow and reportedly alleged that Soteros wasn’t fit to raise Meadow due to issues with alcohol. (It was reported that Soteros was arrested in 2003 and 2013 for drunk driving.) However, the two sides managed to hash out an agreement before the matter made its way to court.

While Meadow was reportedly happy with the custody arrangement her mom and grandma worked out, there have been reports since then that Meadow’s become estranged from the Walker family.

It brings them to tears just thinking about it.” However, the insider also expressed hope that “time is a great healer and they will all be there with open arms if she ever does decide to make contact.”
Who is Meadow Walker’s godfather?
Some guy named Vin Diesel—maybe you’ve heard of him? Diesel was honored to be Meadow’s godfather after he and Walker became famously close during Fast and Furious filming. After Walker’s tragic passing, Diesel didn’t disappoint in his godfatherly duties, always looking out for Meadow and treating her like one of his own children. How love and commitment haven’t been lost on Meadow; just a few weeks ago, she shared a photo on Instagram that shows her and Diesel’s oldest daughter wrapping him up in a group hug. “Family,” she captioned the snap. Diesel wrote in a reply, “All love. Always…” Last year, she likewise shared a selfie that showed her with all three of Diesel’s kids with model Palmoa Jimenez, captioning that pic with, “Family, forever.” Meadow even flew from her home base in New York to L.A. recently to attend the premiere of Fast and Furious 9.
