Who are Mia Farrow’s children with Woody Allen? – The Sun

MIA Farrow has four biological children and seven adopted whom, at one period of time, she was raising with director Woody Allen.

An HBO documentary series, Allen v. Farrow, explored her family troubling history and Dylan Farrow's sexual abuse claims against her stepfather.

Who are Mia Farrow's children with Woody Allen?

Mia had three biological children with her second husband André Previn.

Twins Matthew and Sascha were born in 1970, and Fletcher was born in 1974.

In 1973 and 1976 respectively they adopted Lark Song Previn and Summer "Daisy" Song Previn from Vietnam.

Soon-Yi was adopted from Korea in 1978, and in a bizarre twist, Allen married his adopted daughter Soon in 1997.

Mia divorced from André in 1979 and a year later, as a single mother, she adopted Moses from North Korea.

So when Mia started dating Woody Allen in 1980 she already had seven children.

In 1985 Mia adopted Dylan Farrow and in 1991 Woody Allen co-adopted Dylan and Moses.

The couple then had their own biological child Satchel Farrow, later known as Ronan, who was born in 1987 — although Mia claimed his father could be her first husband Frank Sinatra.

In 1992 Mia ended her marriage to Woody after she discovered that he was having an affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi. Woody later married Soon-Yi in 1997.

Between 1992 and 1995, Mia adopted five more children: Tam Farrow, Kaeli-Shea Farrow, later known as Quincy, Frankie-Minh, Isaiah Justus, and Gabriel Wilk Farrow, later known as Thadeus.

Three of Mia's children have tragically died since the turn of the century.

Mia’s disabled Vietnamese daughter, Tam died in 2000.

A spokesperson for Mia announced at the time of her death: “Mia’s daughter died from heart failure over the weekend. She had a weak heart.”

However, Mia's estranged son, Moses, wrote in a 2018 blog post that his sister allegedly died of a drug overdose.

He wrote: “In fact, Tam struggled with depression for much of her life, a situation exacerbated by my mother refusing to get her help, insisting that Tam was just ‘moody.’

"One afternoon in 2000, after one final fight with Mia, which ended with my mother leaving the house, Tam committed suicide by overdosing on pills.”

Lark died in December 2008. Mia said: “My daughter, Lark, was an extraordinary woman, a wonderful daughter, sister, partner and mother to her own children.

“She died at 35 from complications of HIV/AIDS, which she contracted from a previous partner."

Thaddeus took his own life in 2016 with a gunshot wound to the stomach at the age of 29.

What was the result of the Dylan Farrow sex abuse claims against Woody Allen?

Dylan Farrow claimed her stepfather sexually abused her as a child, although Woody Allen has vehemently denied these claims.

In new HBO doc, Allen v. Farrow, Dylan speaks on camera about her alleged sexual abuse for the first time.

Dylan, now aged 35, has previously written that Allen one day led her to an attic at their house when she was seven years old.

She alleged: "He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me."

In 1992 and the New York Department of Social Services found "no credible evidence" to support Dylan's claims and no charges were brought against Woody Allen.

In response to the allegation, Allen sued Mia for sole custody of Dylan, Satchel, and Moses in 1993 but lost the case and was denied visitation rights with Dylan.

In response to stepbrother Moses' comments in May 2018  defending Allen, Dylan wrote on Twitter: "It's easily disproven, contradicts years of his own statements, is beyond hurtful to me personally, and is part of a larger effort to discredit and distract from my assault.

Woody Allen has repeatedly denied the claims – in 2014 with an open-editorial in the New York Times and in a 2018 statement to CBS.

In September 2018, Soon-Yi Previn, Allen's wife, was interviewed for New York Magazine in which she defended her husband against the claims.

Previn said: "What’s happened to Woody is so upsetting, so unjust."

But responding to the interview, Dylan said: "This only serves to revictimise me … Thanks to my mother, I grew up in a wonderful home.”
