You need to be more specific about which Umar are you talking about. Umar is an Islamic name. If you are referring to one of the notable Muslim Caliph Umar, his father was Khattab Ibn Nufayl.
They were very good friends. They shared the position as Muhammad's two closest advisers with no apparent jealousy. When Abu Bakr became caliph, Umar was his strongest supporter. They both understood that Umar was to be the second caliph after him.
