Jeremy Renner has a "lovely" relationship with Sonni Pacheco.

The Hawkeye actor split from the Wingman actress in 2014 after just 10 months of marriage, and five years later, she sought sole custody of their daughter Ava, now 12, after alleging Jeremy had threatened to kill her and then himself and had bitten their little girl.

However, despite the bitterness between them then, Jeremy - who denied Sonni's allegations - admitted their relationship is amicable now and they co-parent well as they share custody of Ava.

He told the Guardian's Saturday magazine: "[We] get along very well, and we're in each other's lives. It's lovely...

"It's great. She's got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures."

The 54-year-old actor admitted Sonni's allegations about him being made public didn't "feel good".

He said: "Whatever stress I've had in life I've tried to find a way of laughing through it. And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out -- you think, 'I'm just going to have a laugh at this stuff.'"

When asked to specify the "stuff" he was talking about, he added: "Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody."

Jeremy confirmed he was discussing the allegations made during the divorce proceedings and maintained his innocence.

He said: "No, and they happen all the time. It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanises people...

"It doesn't matter to me what people say.

"They're saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth. And I'm used to that, because I'm a public figure. I don't read people's reviews, I don't read people's comments. I don't care. That's not part of my life."

Although Sonni, 37, had fought for sole custody, the Hurt Locker star insisted it hadn't worried him that he might lose time with his daughter.

He said: "That's just lawyers talking. That's lawyers arguing. The custody was easy."

Last year, Jeremy was romantically linked to fashion journalist CC Mason but he insisted he is currently single and focused on Ava and his RennerVation charity, which supports children in foster care and those deemed at risk.

Asked if he is dating, he said: "No, not at the moment.

"I'm pretty focused on my daughter and the foundation for the kids."
