His mother is Jerrie Lee. When he was one, his parents divorced and custody was given to his father Yuki Ohno. Sadly his mother is absent from the audience because she divorced his father when he was an infant and has had little contact with his biological mother.
In 2002 Apolo expressed no interest in knowing her or his older half-brother.
According to The New York Times, Ohno's father won custody of his son when Apolo was just an infant. A recent article from the AP explains that Yuki raised Apolo alone, "after the boy's mother" - Jerrie Lee - "left early on." A 1998 item from The Seattle Times said, "Except for a few photographs, Apolo has never seen his mother." A 2002 article from Sports Illustrated reported that Ohno had "no interest in learning more about her."

Speed skater Apolo Ohno has shown up to a number of interviews without his mother. Many fans have asked why. Well, I have an answer. His mother is an American named Jerrie Lee.
