4. Woody Allen & Soon Yi Previn
This big age difference has a definite ick factor to it that made headlines, since after all he was pretty much her stepfather. Soon Yi Previn was the daughter of Woody’s girlfriend Mia Farrow (Soon Yi was adopted by Farrow). Farrow decided to separate from Allen in 1992 when she discovered naked photos of her daughter that had been taken by the director.
There are 35 years between the two, who began a relationship and were married in 1997. They adopted two daughters, one in 1999, and one in 2000. The two remain a couple today, celebrating nearly 25 years together. Despite the controversy, and allegations from another adopted daughter surrounding sexual assault, Woody Allen has still enjoyed a successful career.
When Allen was asked how his relationship with Soon Yi has changed him by The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “Changed me? I don’t know if you could say she changed me… I might be the same person I was when I was 20.”
