Jeremy Renner’s ex-wife Sonni Pacheco spotted at his Lake Tahoe home
Avengers star Jeremy Renner appears to have buried the hatchet with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco who was staying at his Nevada ranch, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.
The Hawkeye actor, 52, had a bitter years-long custody battle with actress and model Pacheco over their 10-year-old daughter, Ava, which revealed lurid allegations of wild threesome partying and drug use and alleges that Renner fired and bit a gun indoors even his daughter.
But after Renner’s near-fatal accident on January 1, when he was run over by his own snowplow, the warring parents seem to have patched things up.
A video, filmed at Renner’s ranch near Reno and posted to Instagram Tuesday by Rory Millikin, his friend who co-hosts his Disney+ series Rennervations, shows Pacheco inside the house.

However, months after Renner faced death, Pacheco was spotted spending time at her ex’s farm in Lake Tahoe, in an Instagram video shared Tuesday by Renner’s friend and co-host Rory Millikin.
A day earlier, Pacheco posted on her Instagram a stream in the woods, which seemed to match the location of an earlier photo posted by Renner’s niece Kayla’s friend while visiting the actor’s mountain ranch in Nevada.
Pacheco, 35, carries a baby bottle in the clip, likely for her four-month-old daughter Wylder she had with ice hockey player Nate Thompson, 38.
A video Pacheco posted to her Instagram Monday of a forest creek she was hiking along also matches the location of an earlier photo posted by Renner’s niece Kayla’s boyfriend while he was visiting the ranch.
The reports indicate that Renner’s ex-wife has been staying at his farm for several days.
There are also indications that her relationship with her new baby daddy could be on the rocks.
Pacheco has unfollowed the NHL star on Instagram and the two appear to have deleted photos of each other on their social media profiles.
Pacheco did not respond to a request for comment.
During her divorce, the actress, along with Renner’s friends and ex-girlfriends, made shocking claims in court documents, including that the Avengers star once shot a gun on the roof of his house while his daughter slept, put a gun in his mouth and threatened to commit suicide, had wild parties with threesomes and drugs he left lying around his house while Ava was there, and told a friend in a nightclub in 2018 that he wanted to get rid of his ex-wife.
Using texts and doctor’s notes as evidence, Pacheco alleged in court filings that Renner even bit their daughter, saying he was referred to the Department of Child and Family Services.

Pacheco appeared to have moved on with retired NHL player Nathan Thompson, with the couple welcoming their first child together, daughter Wylder Rayne, on March 21.
Both Pacheco and Thompson shared the first photos of their first child together on their Instagram stories on March 24, which also happened to be Pacheo’s 35th birthday.
Two ex-girlfriends submitted copies of text messages and wrote affidavits claiming Renner constantly sent them “d**k pics” and nudes using a Snapchat account named after his daughter’s initials and date of birth. Renner even dressed one of the exes in a dress embroidered with Ava’s name, the former flame claimed in an affidavit.
Pacheco has written in previous court filings that she was “terrified” for her daughter’s safety while spending time with her father.
Renner has always denied any wrongdoing and has argued that he is a safe and loving father.
His lawyers have previously told the DailyMail.com that Pacheco has “repeatedly tried to use alleged child custody issues as a means of getting more and more money from him.”
Renner met Pacheco in Vancouver on the set of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. They welcomed Ava in March 2013 and got married in January 2014.
Pacheco filed for divorce just 11 months later.
In 2020, the actor, who earned $20 million for Avengers: Endgame and has an estimated net worth of $50 million, asked a judge to reduce his monthly child support for his daughter from $30,000 to $11,000.
At the time, Pacheco berated her ex for “another attempt to cut money I rely on to take care of our child.”
In court documents, Renner accused Pacheco of using the child support payments as a “mush fund” for a lavish lifestyle and a costly lawsuit against him.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com at the time, Pacheco hit back at her ex’s “lies,” saying she was only trying to protect her daughter after “seven years of hell” in a relationship with Renner.
On New Year’s Day this year, two-time Oscar nominee Renner was plowing snow in his Mount Rose, Nevada neighborhood — halfway between Reno and Lake Tahoe — when he got out to help a relative whose car was stuck.
His giant 14,000-pound industrial vehicle rolled over and ran him over, breaking more than 30 bones and ending up with a collapsed lung.
“I lost a lot of flesh and bone during this experience,” he said in an April interview with ABC News. “But I’m refueled and filled with love and titanium.”
He said that while he was in critical condition in the hospital, he wrote a suicide note to his family on his phone and wondered, “What does my body look like?” Am I just going to be a spine and a brain like a science experiment?”
Doctors rebuilt his rib cage with metal and used metal plates to reassemble his eye socket. He now has a titanium bar and screws in his leg.
