Jeremy Renner Reflects on Past Allegations and Current Relationship with Ex-Wife
In a candid interview with The Guardian, actor Jeremy Renner opened up about his tumultuous past with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, particularly addressing serious allegations made during their 2019 divorce proceedings. Pacheco had accused Renner of threatening to kill her and himself, claims that he has consistently denied. Renner described the allegations as “clickbait” and expressed how hurtful it is to be accused of things he did not do.
The “Hawkeye” star emphasized that while he has faced stress in life, he has always tried to approach it with humor. “Whatever stress I’ve had in life I’ve tried to find a way of laughing through it,” he shared, hinting at the cynicism that sometimes arises from being in the public eye. Renner stated that he does not let public speculation affect him, noting, “It doesn’t matter to me what people say… I’m used to that, because I’m a public figure.”
Despite the tumultuous past, Renner confirmed that he and Pacheco now share a “lovely” relationship, stating, “[We] get along very well, and we’re in each other’s lives.” The couple, who share custody of their daughter, Ava, have managed to maintain a cordial relationship, moving past the contentious custody disputes that once dominated headlines.
Renner also reflected on the nature of his social life during Ava’s early childhood, countering Pacheco’s claims of drug and alcohol abuse. He characterized his lifestyle as “carnival-type,” explaining that his extensive travel and unconventional living arrangements contributed to a unique home environment. “It was my dating life. It was my club. It was my home,” he explained, emphasizing that his Los Angeles residence served as a hub for family and friends.
As he navigates the complexities of celebrity life and personal relationships, Renner remains focused on keeping his private life away from the public eye. “It’s no one’s business,” he asserted, while also expressing joy over Pacheco’s new baby and the beautiful pictures she shares with him.
As Jeremy Renner continues to move forward, he remains committed to his family and his craft, proving that even amidst past challenges, there is room for growth and healing.
