Meadow also chose Diesel’s daughter, Hania Sinclair, as her maid of honor.
Diesel shared an anecdote about Paul calming his nerves ahead of Hania’s birth in 2008.

“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 …
I’ve never had anything like this in my life.”
