Who are Manzie Tio Allen’s Parents?
Manzie Tio Allen’s adoptive parents Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn have been married since December 22, 1997. It’s been almost three decades since they got married. At the time they got married, Woody was in his 60s while Soon-Yi was in her 20s. Previously, Woody Allen was in a relationship with actress Mia Farrow, Soon-Yi Previn’s adopted mother.
Soon-Yi Previn had been abandoned and was adopted by Mia Farrow and her ex-husband André Previn. Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen made it known that they started dating after Woody ended his relationship with Mia Farrow. In January 1992, Mia found Soon-Yi’s nude pictures in Woody’s home.
Woody Allen who was then 56 years, told Mia that he had taken the photos the day before, approximately two weeks after he first had sex with Soon-Yi. According to Mia Farrow, her relationship with Woody ended after she found out that he was dating her adopted daughter Soon-Yi.
Meanwhile, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn claim that Mia and Woody were not together when Mia found the photos. Woody said in an August 1992 interview with Time Magazine: “I am not Soon-Yi’s father or stepfather”.
“I’ve never even lived with Mia. I’ve never in my entire life slept at Mia’s apartment, and I never even used to go over there until my children came along seven years ago. I never had any family dinners over there. I was not a father to her adopted kids in any sense of the word.”
Woody Allen said he rarely spoke to Soon-Yi Previn before they started dating. It was on August 17, 1992, that Woody publicity announced his love for Soon-Yi. Manzie Tio Allen’s mother Soon-Yi said: “I only knew that he loved me when he gave the press conference and said it publicly. Even then, I wasn’t sure if he meant it. We had never said those words to each other.”
Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn’s affair became the talk of the town. Their relationship became public and “erupted into tabloid headlines and late-night monologues in August 1992.” Woody Allen has opened up about his marriage to Soon-Yi Previn.
“I admit, it didn’t make sense when our relationship started,” Woody said, “On the surface, we looked like an irrational match. I was much older and she was an adopted kid.”
“It looked to the outside world that it was an exploitative situation — that I would exploit her as an older predatory male, and she would exploit me for whatever I had. That was never the case”.
“In the past, I had always gone out with actresses, but for whatever inexplicable reason, with Soon-Yi it worked.” According to Woody Allen: “I have calmed down since I got married”. “I’ve got rid of many of my more neurotic traits, although I still won’t go through tunnels and I don’t like small spaces or elevators.”
Manzie Tio Allen’s father also added “She doesn’t really like jazz or sports, and I don’t like some of the TV shows she watches. But we agree on the big stuff — raising kids, where to live, how to act with each other.“
“We adopted two children together. Being a father was important to me. We had a lot of fun. Both the girls are in college now, one in California and one at art college in New York. Soon-Yi changed me. She gets me to go out four or five times a week. She likes the social rumble and I enjoy it, too.“
