Rebecca Soteros’ Biography
Rebecca Soteros was born in 1974 in California, USA. Her exact birth date is not known to the public. She was born to Mark Soteros and Julie Ann Soteros. From kindergarten through the 12th grade, she attended the Village Christian School in California, where she graduated in 1992. She then attended college and graduated with a degree in teaching. She went into teaching immediately after college. She also has a younger brother, Joshua Soteros.
Rebecca Soteros And Paul Walker
Walker and Soteros first met in California, where they also started dating in the early years of the late 1990s. During this period, their daughter Meadow came into the world on 4 November 1998. Up until the age of thirteen, Meadow was raised by her mother; after that, she moved to California to live with her father. Soteros experienced her alcoholism during this time.
Walker and Soteros had a short-lived relationship that suffered from several issues and ended in a separation. There have been many theories about the reasons behind their breakup, which remain unknown. Some people think that Soteros’ drinking problem, which eventually surfaced in her effort to win Meadow’s custody, was the cause of their frequent disputes and fights and their separation in 1999. During his fame, the two were no longer a couple.
Rebecca Soteros went to California to help her daughter after Walker’s horrific death in a road accident in 2013. On November 30, 2013, Walker was involved in a serious car crash and did not survive. During that period, he was dating Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell.
She relocated to California to be there for their daughter after Paul Walker passed away. She left her teaching job and currently works as a service woman in a privately-owned firm in California, USA.
Rebecca Soteros’ Custody Battle
Soteros’ life was difficult even as a single mother because of her alleged alcoholism, which worsened when she got into a difficult custody dispute. Following Walker’s passing, his mother Cheryl Walker filed an application for Meadow’s sole guardianship.
Cheryl apparently said that Soteros was an alcoholic who couldn’t take care of her daughter. According to information on this subject, Soteros and Meadow shared a residence with Cheryl when Soteros was experiencing significant drinking issues and managing her alcoholism.
Cheryl’s request for legal guardianship also complies with Walker’s last will and testament, which made it plain that he wanted his mother to have custody of Meadow. In total, Soteros was charged with two DUIs in 2003 and 2013. When Soteros chose to carry out the rehabilitation programme as required by Cheryl, the highly publicised custody dispute came to an end.
What Is Rebecca Soteros Doing Now?
After her legal dispute with Cheryl, Rebecca Soteros made the decision to withdraw from the spotlight. She doesn’t seem to have a public presence on social media and doesn’t appear to have given any interviews, thus it would seem that she keeps a private existence. However, she is reportedly helping Meadow with philanthropic work.
Meadow Walker founded The Paul Walker Foundation when she was just 16 years old. Its mission is to promote marine conservation, a cause dear to her father, who once made an appearance on the National Geographic Channel’s Expedition Great White. Scholarships in marine science are offered by the foundation to 16 to 19-year-old students who have the potential to have such an impact.
