And now Jeremy Renner will share more of it to provide for his daughter Ava, five.

Renner and his ex-wife Sonni Pacheco have agreed that he will maintain his current monthly payments of $13,000 but will increase payments to a trust fund for his little girl, according to TMZ Monday.

He added: 'Daddy's my best role to date, I think.'
