A special bond with Meadow Walker
I am so grateful that she is in my family's life. She is truly the cousin of my angels. I would die for her

It means everything to me, because I don't know if I could have walked the red carpet. And Meadow adds grace
Paul Walker died in a car crash in 2013 at the age of 40. At the time, his daughter Meadow, whom he had with Rebecca Soteros, was 15 years old.
After her father's death, Meadow has maintained a close relationship with Diesel, who is her godfather. In 2021, the actor also walked her down the aisle at her wedding to Louis Thornton-Allan.
In May 2026, Diesel and Meadow met at the Cannes Film Festival along with other members of the "Fast & Furious" franchise. During the event, the actor also publicly congratulated Paul Walker's daughter.
Meadow continues to honor her father's memory. In 2023, on the day Paul Walker would have turned 50, she called him her "guardian angel" and remembered him as a person who taught her to respect others, do good, and care for the planet.
