Woody Allen, 72, and his wife of 11 years, Soon-Yi Previn, 37, were out and about in Hollywood last night. The couple were photographed leaving Mr. Chow restaurant.

Their story started in a most sordid way back in 1992 when Soon-Yi Previn’s mother, actress Mia Farrow, discovered that her partner of 12 years, Allen, had been having a sexual relationship with her then 21 year old adopted daughter. The revelation broke up the relationship and cause the severing of ties between mother and daughter.

Allen, famed film director, actor, writer, comedian, playwright and jazz musician continues to play the clarinet and performs with his band every Monday night at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan. The group specializes in New Orleans jazz. They played at the Montreal Jazz Festival in June. His film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, starring Penelope Cruz premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Soon-Yi went on to earn a Masters Degree from Columbia University in Special Eduction in 1998, a year after the couple married. They have two adopted daughters.
