Soon-Yi Previn was adopted from South Korea in the late 1970s by actress Mia Farrow and her then-husband, conductor Andrรฉ Previn. After Farrow and Previn divorced, Farrow began a long and famous partnership with director Woody Allen, who became a prominent father figure to her many children throughout the 1980s.
The relationship became the subject of a major public scandal in 1992 when Mia Farrow discovered that Allen, then in his mid-50s, was having an affair with a then 21-year-old Soon-Yi. The discovery led to the immediate and bitter end of Farrow and Allen's 12-year personal and professional collaboration, sparking contentious legal battles and media frenzy.
While Allen was a fixture in her life for over a decade, he was never Soon-Yi's legal adoptive father, a point he has often emphasized. Despite the controversy surrounding the beginning of their relationship and their 35-year age difference, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn married in 1997. They have remained together ever since and have adopted two daughters of their own.
