Woody Allen Opens Up About His Marriage to Soon-Yi Previn in a Revelation No One Expected.qn

Woody Allen was open about his normally private marriage with Soon-Yi Previn in a new interview.

The filmmaker — who tied the knot with the former actress in 1997 — “frequently” brought up his much-younger spouse during an interview with the Wall Street Journal to promote his new fictional book, “What’s With Baum?,” per the news outlet.

In the sit-down, Allen, 89, described Previn, 54, as “disciplined,” “decisive,” “a wonderful mother” and “a larger-than-life personality.” He also reportedly noted his admiration for her “toughness.”

“If anyone had told me years ago that I would be married to a girl much younger than me with no background in New York or none of the similar interests growing up and that she’d be a Korean orphan, I would have said, ‘No chance. I’m going to be married to a New York actress,’” the “Annie Hall” star said in the interview published Wednesday, reflecting on his controversial marriage.

“But it didn’t work out that way.”

Allen began dating Previn while he was still dating actress Mia Farrow, with whom he adopted sons Moses Farrow and Isaiah Farrow and daughters Dylan Farrow and Tam Farrow. The former couple also had a biological son, Ronan Farrow.

Mia, 80, adopted Previn with her ex-husband André Previn before she dated Allen.

Allen discussed the early days of his romance with Soon-Yi in his 2020 memoir, “Apropos of Nothing.”

“At the very early stages of our new relationship, when lust reigns supreme … we couldn’t keep our hands off each other,” he wrote at the time.

The “Midnight in Paris” director also described in the book Mia’s rage when she found erotic pics of her then-20-year-old daughter in his apartment, adding, “Of course I understand her shock, her dismay, her rage, everything. It was the correct reaction.” She and Allen split in 1992.

In his autobiography — and to this day — the “Manhattan” star said he does not regret dating Soon-Yi.

Allen told the Wall Street Journal that while “there are many” regrets he has, they are strictly professional.

“I wish I didn’t do this film, I wish I had made this film better, I wish I had shot this scene differently, I wish I had not written this, I wish I had gone in that direction,” he said. “I could probably pluck out 15 of the 50 that you could keep and you could get rid of all the rest.”

Allen shared that in this later chapter of his life, he spends a lot of his time going to the theater at Lincoln Center, which he considers “a treat.” He shared Soon-Yi recently surprised him by taking him to see Andres Veiel’s “Riefenstahl.”

The couple also enjoys reading, and the director said of his wife’s thoughts on his new book about a middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist who is consumed with anxiety, “She was OK with the book.”

He added, “She didn’t knock it. She finds my writing style high-falutin.”
