Avengers star Jeremy Renner appears to have buried the hatchet with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco who has been 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 unearthed lurid allegations of wild parties with threesomes and drug use and claims that Renner fired a gun indoors and even bit his daughter.
But following 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 in Renner’s ranch near Reno and posted on Instagram Tuesday by Rory Millikin, his friend who co-hosts his Disney+ series Rennervations, shows Pacheco inside the home.

Months after Renner’s brush with death, however, Pacheco was seen spending time at her ex’s Lake Tahoe ranch, in an Instagram video shared by Renner’s friend and co-host Rory Millikin on Tuesday
A day earlier, Pacheco posted on her Instagram of a forest creek, which seemed to match the location of an earlier picture posted by the boyfriend of Renner’s niece Kayla while he was visiting the actor’s Nevada mountain ranch
Pacheco, 35, is carrying a baby’s bottle, likely for her four-month-old daughter Wylder, she had with ice hockey player Nate Thompson, 38.
A video Pacheco posted on her Instagram Monday of a forest creek she hiked past, also matches the location of an earlier picture posted by the boyfriend of Renner’s niece Kayla while he was visiting the ranch.
The posts indicate Renner’s ex-wife has been staying at his ranch for several days.
There are also hints that her relationship with her new baby-daddy could be on the rocks.
Pacheco no longer follows the NHL star on Instagram, and the two appear to have deleted their 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 fired a gun into the roof of his home while his daughter was sleeping, put a gun in his mouth and threatened to kill himself, had wild parties with threesomes and drugs that he left lying around his home while Ava was there, and told a friend at a nightclub in 2018 that he wanted to ‘get rid’ of his ex-wife.
Using texts and doctors’ notes as evidence, Pacheco claimed in court filings that Renner even bit their daughter, and said he had been referred to the Department of Child and Family Services.

The actor later shared a photo showing his bruised face, to go along with the more than 30 broken bones he suffered, thanking friends and fans for their support
Pacheco seemed 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 nude photos using a Snapchat account named after his daughter’s initials and birth date. Renner even dressed one of the exes in a gown 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 she spends time with her father.
Renner has always denied any wrongdoing and argued that he is a safe and loving father.
His lawyers have previously told DailyMail.com that Pacheco ‘has repeatedly sought to use alleged child custody issues as a means to seek more and more money’ from him.
Renner met Pacheco in Vancouver on the set of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. They welcomed Ava in March of 2013 and tied the knot in January, 2014.
Pacheco filed for divorce just 11 months later.
In 2020, the actor, who earned $20million for Avengers: Endgame and has an estimated net worth of $50million, asked a judge to slash his monthly child support payments for his daughter from $30,000 to $11,000.
At the time, Pacheco slammed her ex for ‘yet another attempt to reduce funds I rely on to provide for our child.’
In court documents, Renner accused Pacheco of using the child support payments as a ‘slush fund’ for a high-end lifestyle and expensive court battle against him.

Renner had his chest crushed and his upper torso had collapsed when he was pulled under a seven-ton snowplow at his Lake Tahoe property just hours after the new year rang in
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com at the time, Pacheco hit back at her ex’s ‘lies’ and said 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 out plowing snow around his neighborhood in Mount Rose, Nevada – midway between Reno and Lake Tahoe – when he got out to help a family member whose car was stuck.
His giant 14,000-lb industrial vehicle rolled and ran him over, breaking more than 30 bones and landing him with a collapsed lung.
‘I’ve lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience,’ he said in an interview with ABC News in April. ‘But I’ve been refueled and refilled with love and titanium.’
He said that while in hospital in critical condition he wrote a goodbye note to his family on his phone, and wondered to himself: ‘What’s my body look like? Am I just going to be like a spine and a brain like a science experiment?’
Doctors rebuilt his rib cage with metal, and used metallic plates to put his eye socket back together. He now has a titanium rod and screws in his leg.
