Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn have adopted a baby boy. He's called Manzie Tio Allen, after jazz musicians Manzie Johnson and Lorenzo Tio. The couple already have an adopted daughter, Bechet, who is named after jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet - Woody's musical hero. Allen, 64, and Soon-Yi, 29, made their relationship public in 1991, after Allen's then lover (and Soon-Yi's adopted mother) Mia Farrow discovered the couple's affair. They married in 1997, and adopted Bechet, their first child together, last year. Allen's latest film, Small Time Crooks, in which he also co-stars with Tracey Ullman, is due for a British release in late November.
