Woody Allen and His Wife Soon-Yi Previn Make Rare Public Appearance Together in NYC

Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn had a rare date night out.
The Annie Hall filmmaker and his wife of 26 years stepped out for the opening night of McNeal on Broadway starring Robert Downey Jr. at The Vivian Beaumont Theater Sept. 30.
For the occasion, Woody, 88, arrived in khaki-colored slacks, a gray sweater and a brown bucket hat. And Soon-Yi, 53, wore a black dress featuring a rose pattern. Other stars who supported the Iron Man star’s Broadway debut included Matt Damon, Paul Rudd, Jason Bateman and Steven Spielberg.
The theater date night was a rare outing for Woody and Soon-Yi, who were last seen on a walk together in April. The duo—who share two kids—have largely kept a low profile as their relationship was scrutinized from the beginning in 1992. After all, Soon-Yi is the adoptive daughter of the director’s then-partner Mia Farrow and her ex André Previn.
That same year, Woody was accused of molesting his then-7-year-old daughter Dylan Farrow, whom he shared with the Rosemary's Baby star. While he was investigated by the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of the Yale-New Haven Hospital and by New York State Child Welfare, he wasn’t charged with abuse and vehemently denied the allegations over the years.
But those allegations and criticism about his relationship with Soon-Yi, which they both said began when she was 21, have long followed them. And when HBO released the docuseries Allen v. Farrow, which detailed the abuse accusations, the couple slammed the project.
"These documentarians had no interest in the truth," they told Variety in February 2021. "Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods."
"As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false," the statement continued. "While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts."
Meanwhile, producer Amy Herdy—who previously stated to the outlet that she attempted to reach out multiple times since 2018 for an interview—noted that she'd be happy to address their concerns.
"Well, I would invite them to state what they think the falsehoods are," she told E! News in March 2021. "Because, this series is based on facts that are represented in the records that we have. And so, everything in this series is backed up and corroborated, there are no falsehoods."
"It was a story that had been told," she continued, "but, had not been fully told and it had not had all of the facts revealed—ever."
