Woody Allen held hands with his third wife Soon-Yi Previn as the enjoyed a date night at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on Saturday.
At 89, the disgraced director is 35 years older than the special education expert, who was adopted from Korea by his longtime ex-partner Mia Farrow and her second ex-husband Andre Previn in 1978.
Woody and Soon-Yi have been married for 27 years, and they're proud parents of adopted daughters Bechet Allen and Manzie Tio Allen.
Bechet, 26, works as an assistant to Gagosian Gallery curator Michael Cary, and 25-year-old Manzie works as an assistant to Emily in Paris showrunner Darren Star.
Between 2014-2015, Allen and Previn reportedly used to enjoy monthly dinners with the late Jeffrey Epstein, whose name is still dominating headlines over the Trump administration's refusal to reveal his list of clients.
'Woody and Soon-Yi lived in the same neighborhood as Epstein and were frequently invited to dinner parties at his townhouse,' a spokeswoman for the couple confirmed to the Wall Street Journal in 2023.
'There were always other guests at those gatherings. Woody never had a business meeting with Epstein and not once spent time with him without Soon-Yi also being present.'
Chelsea Handler happened to be a guest at one of those dinners with Woody, Soon-Yi, and the convicted pedophile at his Upper East Side townhouse where she famously asked the couple: 'So how did you two meet?'
'There's no chance that I, as myself, am going to sit across from the table from him and his daughter wife and not tell him what I think... just on behalf of women everywhere. I will never be silent,' the 50-year-old comedian recalled on Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out podcast on July 14.
'I was there to make sure he knew and everyone at the table knew how I felt before I left. Like, "Don't think I'm okay. I'm not okay with this."'
Previn never considered Allen a father figure despite the 80-year-old Rosemary's Baby alum dating him for 12 years spanning 1980-1992 until Mia discovered nude Polaroids of her then 21-year-old daughter at his home.
Seven months later, Farrow publicly accused the Bronx-born filmmaker of molesting her seven-year-old adopted daughter Dylan Farrow.
Woody - who was never charged or prosecuted - quickly sued the Roommate thespian for full custody of their son Satchel (now Ronan) and her adopted children Dylan and Moses.
