Meadow has lived much of her life out of the public eye, but she has embraced the spotlight more in recent years, including by posting photos that offer a glimpse into her life.

The post’s caption shared more information. “The next generation of ocean leaders starts here,” it reads. “The 2026 Paul Walker Foundation DO GOOD.® Award & Scholarship is now accepting applications. Inspired by Paul’s love for the ocean, this award supports emerging leaders who are committed to protecting our oceans, advancing environmental stewardship, and creating positive impact.

Paul Walker’s Bond With Daughter Meadow Walker
Walker shared his daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Soteros. Meadow was born on November 4, 1998. She grew up in Hawaii before moving to Los Angeles to be with her father.
The pair shared a close bond, which Walker spoke about before his death. “My heart was desperate for so many years with the situation with my daughter. My daughter lives with me full time now, and she’s the best partner I’ve ever had,” he told Entertainment Weekly, People reports. “It’s so nuts. I’ve never had anything like this in my life.”
Meadow, who now works as a model, has continued to keep her father’s memory alive, often celebrating him on social media and honoring him on his heavenly birthday, or on the anniversary of his death.
