Sonni Pacheco divorced Jeremy Renner within 10 months of their marriage

Jeremy and Sonni's relationship came to public attention when the duo welcomed their daughter, Ava Berlin Renner in March 2013. This marked a major and beautiful chapter in their lives. Later, in less than a year, the two got married in a private ceremony. However, within 10 months, the couple filed for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. 

Jeremy and Sonni's divorce process made major headlines in 2014, mainly because of their disagreements related to custody and parenting arrangements for their daughter, Ava Berlin Renner.

Ava Berlin Renner played a major role in Jeremy Renner and Sonni Pacheco’s life

While Jeremy and Sonni parted ways within 10 months of their marriage, their little angel, Ava played a major role in both their lives. On October 6, 2025, Sonni had taken to her Instagram handle to share that she found her passion in sculpting when she was pregnant with Ava. She had also revealed that Ava was the main reason behind her healing. A part of her post could be read as:

"Over 13 years ago when I was pregnant with Ava, I found sculpting. That's when my healing journey began. Sculpting became the place where I could alchemize pain into art, long before I had the words for what I was going through."

On the other hand, Ava also played a major role in healing her father, Jeremy Renner. For the unversed, Jemery had survived a fatal accident in 2023. The accident had left him with more than 30 broken bones. During an interview in 2024, the Avengers actor had shared that it was his daughter, Ava, who took complete care of him. Jeremy Renner had shared:

"If I didn't have my daughter, Ava, I don't know who I would be — probably somebody I don't like. She's my sunrise, my sunset, my North Star. I became the kid for the first six months; my daughter had to take care of me, and there was something quite beautiful in that role reversal. She had to grow up in a lot of ways. I overcame a lot of obstacles and got to show my daughter what resilience means by going through this journey with me."
