Sonni Pacheco is a Canadian actress and model recognized for her roles in films such as American Pie Presents: The Book of Love and The Wingman. She initially began her career as a model before transitioning into acting, traveling across the world for assignments in both fields. While she maintained moderate visibility as an actress and model, Pacheco’s mainstream notoriety significantly increased only after her marriage to American actor Jeremy Lee Renner. Unfortunately, the union lasted just ten months before Pacheco filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The actress initially sought sole custody of their daughter but eventually settled on shared custody with her ex-husband. The contentious nature of their divorce proceedings ensured the couple remained a frequent and highly discussed topic in tabloid and gossip columns.
Childhood and Career
Sonni Pacheco was born in Pitt Meadows, Canada, and reports that she spent her childhood growing up on a farm surrounded by domesticated animals; no further details about her early life are publicly available. She began her professional career as a model in Canada. Feeling discontented with the direction her career was headed, she briefly relocated to Mexico, where she took a job selling timeshares at a hotel resort. However, her passion for modeling drew her back to the industry, leading her to work as a lingerie model and serve as a spokesperson for Monster Energy Drinks. She also entered the film world, appearing as the ‘Splendid Wet T-Shirt Girl’ in the 2009 film American Pie Presents: The Book of Love and later starring in the 2013 comedy flick The Wingman.
Relationship with Jeremy Renner
Pacheco met the celebrated actor Jeremy Renner on the set of the action spy film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The two began dating and welcomed a daughter in 2013. The couple married on January 13, 2014, initially keeping the event a secret to protect their privacy, a fact Renner later revealed during a promotional event. The marriage was short-lived, as Pacheco filed for divorce just a few months shy of their first anniversary, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The sizable age difference between the pair was widely speculated to have contributed to the split. The divorce was finalized in 2015, resulting in shared custody of their daughter and an agreement that Renner would pay $13,000 per month in child support. However, the conflict continued in 2016 when Pacheco approached the court, alleging Renner owed nearly $50,000 in child support. Renner subsequently claimed that the constant legal and financial pressures exerted by Pacheco had severely impacted his mental and physical health, leading to a lack of sleep.
