Walker shared close friendships with his Fast & Furious cast mates. Walker lived in Santa Barbara with his dogs. [4][23] He and Rebecca Soteros, [24] a one-time girlfriend, have a daughter named Meadow Walker, [25] who lived with her mother in Hawaii for 13 years and then moved to California to live with Walker in 2011. [26] Her godfather is Vin Diesel after Paul's death. He previously dated Jasmine Gosnell. [27] He held a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Ricardo "Franjinha" Miller at Paragon Jiu-Jitsu [28] and was awarded with his black belt by Miller posthumously. [29] Walker held an interest in marine biology; he joined the Board of Directors of The Billfish Foundation in 2006.

[31][32] He spent 11 days as part of the crew, catching and tagging seven great white sharks off the coast of Mexico. The expedition, led by Chris Fischer, founder and CEO of Fischer Productions, along with Captain Brett McBride and Dr. Michael Domeier of the Marine Conservation Science Institute, took measurements, gathered DNA samples, and fastened real-time satellite tags to the great white sharks. This allowed Dr. Domeier to study migratory patterns, especially those associated with mating and birthing, over a five-year period of time. [33]
