Mia Farrow Looks 'Stunning' at 78 with Son Whose Dad Ruined Their Family - She Smiles Again after Painful Loss of 3 Kids

• Mia Farrow appeared in a stunning silver dress with her long curly hair on a red carpet with her son, Ronan Farrow.
• Being a mother of 14, she tragically lost three children but managed to pull through the pain and trauma.
• Mia's long-time partner and father of her son Ronan ended up marrying her adopted daughter—she reportedly regrets bringing him into their family.

Mia Farrow is an American actress most popularly known for starring in "The Great Gatsby," "Rosemary's Baby," "A Wedding," and "Peyton Place." Despite being a Hollywood A-lister, she's experienced insurmountable agony and loss in her personal life.

Things took an unexpectedly tragic turn for her when she lost her three beloved kids. Now a mom to just 11 children, Mia has overcome her terrifying ordeal and continues to go strong in her late 70s.

Mia, who turned 78 in February 2023, now enjoys a life full of love, light, and joy as a doting mom and grandma with her children and grandchildren. On April 26, she graced the "TIME 100 GALA" in New York.

The UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador proudly called herself a mom of 14 and a grandma of 16 grandkids.

The prestigious event was organized to honor the top 100 influential individuals the magazine had chosen from all around the world in 2023. Mia was among those who had made it to the much-coveted Time 100 list, and she graced the occasion with her lovely presence. But she didn't arrive alone.

The senior actress was spotted on the red carpet with none other than her son, Ronan Farrow. The "Death on the Nile" star sparkled in a sleeveless silver dress, falling just above her feet, which looked quite snug in black sandals.

Mia stole the show with her soft makeup and pedicured hands, and her outfit's plunging neckline perfectly portrayed her slender figure. Her blonde wavy hair with a middle partition rested on her shoulders, enhancing her timeless aura even more.

She also held a black clutch in one hand and adorned her wrists with elegant bracelets. Mia candidly posed for pictures with Ronan before completing another round solo. The graceful Hollywood lady wore a warm smile throughout the event.

While many are familiar with the legendary star's incredible performance on-screen, they may not know how she's remained unbreakable despite life's endless tragedies.

What Happened to Mia Farrow's Three Children?

The "Peyton Place" alum was once a happy mom to 14 children who meant the world to her. But one after the other, she lost three of her beloved kids in the most devastating turn of events.

In April 2021, she shared the stories of losing each of her three kids to silence the rumor mill and honor their memory. Her daughter, Tam, died at 17 from what Mia called an "accidental prescription overdose" pertaining to her heart disease and migraines.

The "Hannah and Her Sisters" actress lost another daughter, Lark, at 35 from complications linked to HIV/AIDS. Per Mia, her late daughter shared kids with her long-time partner and passed away in the hospital on Christmas, having led a happy and fruitful life despite her ailment.

After the unbearable loss of two daughters, Mia suffered another heartbreak when her son, Thaddeus, took his own life. The entire Farrow family had reportedly expected the 29-year-old to share the news of his wedding, but sadly, his relationship ended, and he succumbed to the trauma.

"These are unspeakable tragedies," expressed Mia while talking about her children's deaths. She urged people to stop speculating and avoid dishonoring her late kids' memory. The UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador proudly called herself a mom of 14 and a grandma of 16 grandkids.

Why Does Mia Regret Bringing Woody Allen into Her Family?

In February 2021, the "Husbands and Wives" alum shared her thoughts on parting ways with her ex, Woody Allen. During the premiere episode of her HBO docuseries, Mia shed light on her relationship with the award-winning filmmaker and her daughter, Dylan's accusations against him.

Mia confessed that bringing Woody into her family was "the great regret" of her life, and she couldn't do anything to take it away. She said it was understandable if people didn't believe her since she had also been in denial initially, mainly because, like everyone, she loved and admired him.

Before meeting Woody, Mia was a mom to seven kids, including twins Sascha and Matthew Previn, Lark Song Previn, Fletcher Previn, Summer Daisy Song Previn, Soon-Yi Previn, and Moses Farrow.

But over time, she recounted seeing Woody slowly getting along with her kids, mainly her adopted son, Moses. In "Allen v. Farrow," Mia stated that she talked to him about having a baby, and he said he would only agree provided any parental attachments didn't bind him.

The couple tried but couldn't fall pregnant, after which Mia broached the subject of adoption. "The Watcher" actress claimed her then-partner had no objections but said he didn't want anything to do with her adopted baby. It was then that she adopted a blonde baby girl, Dylan.

Fortunately, Mia and Woody welcomed their biological son, Ronan, after Dylan's adoption. But after Ronan's birth, Dylan alleged that the Academy Award-winning screenwriter began displaying intense affection toward her, forcing her to hide from him.

In December 1991, Woody was said to have officially adopted Moses and Dylan. A month later, Mia claimed she found adult pictures of her other adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, in his apartment.

Upon confronting her then-boyfriend, Mia recollected hearing Woody say he was in love with Soon-Yi and wanted to marry her.

In one of his memoirs, comprising 400 pages, the comedian declined all accusations of child molestation and defended his feelings for Soon-Yi. Woody and Soon-Yi have been married since 1997 and share two kids.

How Does Mia Live Today?

Having survived her fair share of sorrows and heartaches, Mia's life today is filled with happiness and love. She enjoys spending time with her loved ones, including her children and grandchildren.

The "Alice" star often shares heartwarming photos with her grandkids, encapsulating her lovely bond. In one picture from April, she was all smiles while sharing the frame with her granddaughter, Evangeline.

In another photo from January, she couldn't stop gushing over her two grandchildren, Coretta and Sawyer. She also shared a throwback picture from last January with her three sons and mentioned how much she missed Thaddeus.

Mia looked gorgeous in one of her photos for the "Time100 Gala" while striking a pose in front of her home. Many complimented her divine aura and style, with one user calling her "lovely" and another wondering how she maintained her "girlish figure."

Another commenter thought the "Rosemary" star looked stunning, adding how much they loved her hair. Despite life's highs and lows, Mia continues to thrive in the loving presence of her family and friends.

"Although we have known sorrow, our lives today are full of love and joy," she wrote while describing her life with her family. We wish this shining Hollywood lady all the best in whatever she plans to do next!
