Soon-Yi Farrow Previn is widely known as the adopted daughter of actress Mia Farrow and musician Andrรฉ Previn, who later married filmmaker Woody Allen. She was adopted from a Korean orphanage by Farrow and Previn in 1977 or 1978 when she was approximately seven years old. Her early life was marked by hardship, having reportedly lived on the streets of Seoul before her adoption. Mia Farrow had a large, multicultural family, including several biological and adopted children, and later began a long-term relationship with Woody Allen in 1980.
The highly publicized controversy began in 1992 when Mia Farrow discovered nude photographs of Soon-Yi, then 21 years old, at Woody Allen's home. This revelation exposed a romantic relationship between Allen and Soon-Yi, leading to the dramatic end of Allen's 12-year partnership with Farrow. The substantial age difference between Allen, who was 57 at the time, and Soon-Yi, coupled with her status as Farrow's adopted daughter, ignited a significant media firestorm and public debate.
Despite the intense scrutiny and public opinion, Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen continued their relationship. They married in a private ceremony in Venice, Italy, in 1997. The couple has since adopted two daughters and have largely maintained a life away from the intense Hollywood spotlight that once surrounded them. Soon-Yi Previn has occasionally spoken out, asserting her own perspective on her childhood and her relationship with Allen.
