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. She and Apolo 's dad, Yuki Ohno had a divorce when he was only an infant. Usually, it is the mother who gets custody of a son in a traditional divorce. Not this one. Yuki got to keep his son. Probably because Jerrie was only 18, and Yuki was 37.
Apolo Ohno's mother was Jerrie Lee. She was American. Jerrie Lee divorced Yuki Ohno (Apolo's father) when Apolo was just an infant. So Apolo never wanted to be with his mother.
