Rebecca Soteros and Paul Walker's story

By the time they began dating, Soteros and Walker had known each other since childhood. They welcomed a daughter named Meadow Rain Walker on 4 November 1998.
When Soteros revealed she was pregnant, Paul’s mother, Cheryl, said he was scared about having a baby when he wasn't ready. Speaking about his daughter and his relationship with Rebecca, the actor said in archive footage in the documentary:
The mom and I weren't together, and I was raised Mormon. I was told, "Mommy and Daddy are supposed to be together."
...I was with chicks, having fun — I was an animal. I want to be [a family man], and my heart wants to be in it, but my mind just isn't following it.
Nevertheless, his mother persuaded him to marry Soteros, believing they were in love and would never separate. However, Paul's uncle Rhett explained the couple had a "push me, pull me relationship."
As Walker rose to fame, Soteros tried to protect her daughter from the public eye, Walker's mom said in the documentary:
Things were not easy for Rebecca because people realized who Meadow was; they would come up in the grocery store and try to pick her up. It was a little scary.
