Owen Wilson is to be a father for the third time.
The 49-year-old actor was rumoured to have offered to take a paternity test in June when an unnamed woman claimed to be expecting his baby, and insiders have now revealed he is having a child with Varunie Vonsvirates.
According to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column, the ‘Marley & Me’ star has undergone the relevant tests and been told he is the father of the businesswoman’s daughter.
Varunie made her Instagram account public earlier this week, revealing a number of posts about her pregnancy.
Her most recent post featured her and Owen – who already has Ford, seven, with his ex-girlfriend, Jade Duell and Finn, four, with personal trainer Caroline Lindqvist – at the 2017 premiere of his movie ‘Father Figures’, which she captioned: "’#fatherfigure (sic)"
And asked by a follower if the ‘Wonder’ actor was her baby’s dad, she replied: "Yes".
An ultrasound photograph posted in late June revealed Varunie is expecting a baby girl and has already chosen a name.
She wrote: "Say hello to Lyla [baby emoji] 3 months to go! [heart eye emoji] (sic)"
It was claimed in June that the ‘Zoolander’ star "immediately" offered to take a paternity test and had pledged to be a supportive father if the baby turned out to be his.
A source said at the time: "Owen has been a great father to his two boys and has maintained a warm and close relationship with their mothers.
"Of course if a paternity test establishes that he is the father of another child, he will fulfill all of his obligations to support his child."
Owen recently spoke out about being a father and said he can already tell what his sons will be like as teenagers.
He said: "Sometimes it feels more like I’m already seeing how they’re going to be as teenagers where they’re sort of ganging up on me. We went to Sequoia National Park and they have the biggest tree in the world. Ford’s like, ‘I’ve seen bigger.’ I’m like, ‘Well no, Ford, actually you haven’t seen bigger, this is the biggest tree in the world. He’s like, ‘If you say so.’"
