While Paul Walker had kept his relationship with Rebecca Soteros extremely private, it was reported that the pair first met in early 1998, just as Walker's acting career was beginning to really take off.
The two had been seeing each other casually when Soteros unexpectedly got pregnant with their daughter Meadow. Walker, who was 25 at the time, told WENN in 2013 that he was initially conflicted about his girlfriend's pregnancy. "It was tough. I went to [a] Christian high school and I was told mom and dad were supposed to be together," he explained (via Young Hollywood). "I was one of those ones who believed when you get married, it's forever. But I was thinking down the road." Walker also admitted that he wasn't ready to become a family man just yet. "I was an animal, and so I want to be there and my heart wants to be in it, but the mind just isn't following it," the actor said.
His reluctance to settle down supposedly played a major part in the couple's split. Soon after she gave birth to little Meadow, Soteros moved to Hawaii to start a new life with her daughter. At the time of her pregnancy, Soteros was reportedly making a living as a school teacher but stopped teaching when she moved to Hawaii to focus on raising Meadow. However, she has reportedly since moved back to California and resumed teaching, according to AmoMama.
