Her father died in 2013, after which there was a custody battle. Her parents kept her out of the spotlight, and she did not seek publicity until she started her modeling career.

In 2023, she made her acting debut in the form of a cameo appearance as a flight attendant in Fast X, the tenth installment of the Fast & Furious film series that her father was best known for. Her late father also appeared in the film through via archival footage from Fast Five.[6]
Personal life

She continues her father's charitable work through the conservation organization The Paul Walker Foundation, which she founded in 2015.[4] The organization offers grants to marine biology students.[1][3] She has also worked with Soma Sara, who runs the anti-rape movement Everyone's Invited.[3]
In August 2021, Walker announced her engagement to actor Louis Thornton-Allan.[1] Meadow married Thornton-Allan in the Dominican Republic in October 2021, following the two-month engagement.[7] The wedding was highly publicized, including an interview with Vogue. She was given away by her father's Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel, who is her godfather.[7][8][9][10]
In June 2022, she revealed that she had an abortion in 2020.[11]
In December 2023, she announced her separation from Louis Thornton-Allan.[12] Meadow filed for divorce on February 15, 2024, and requested that Thornton-Allan does not receive spousal support.[13] Their divorce was settled in June 2024.[14]
