“Varunie’s mother passed away when she was still kind of young and impressionable,” the source said. “She knows what it’s like to grow up with one parent. She doesn’t want that to happen to her daughter.”
The source said that Vongsvirates dropped everything to become a full-time, single mom. The fact that Wilson is often photographed with his two sons from previous relationships is like a “double whammy” to the new mother, the source said.
“She just wants her daughter to have a normal life. It didn’t work out between the two of them – that happens – but to abandon his child is rude and wrong,” the insider continued.

Before giving birth to Lyla, Vongsvirates was excited about the future and even gushed about Wilson’s capabilities of being a father.
“He will be a great dad, because he’s an incredible dad with his other two children,” she said at the time.
