Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, 60, and her partner of 19 years, Jean Todt, have finally tied the knot in Geneva on July 27, 2023, according to a reveal by Brazilian Formula One driver Felipe Massa on Instagram.
He shared a heartfelt note on a card that said, “We met in Shanghai on June 4, 2004. Jean proposed to Michelle on July 26, 2004, and she said yes. 6,992 days later, on July 27 in Geneva, we celebrated this special moment with our family and friends.”
In the wedding photos, Yeoh looks stunning in a long lace dress, sweetly leaning on her new husband and accepting blessings from their friends, presenting a picture-perfect moment.
Engaged since 2004
Yeoh and Todt had been engaged since 2004, with frequent inquiries about their wedding plans over the years. Now, with the marriage announcement finally made, fans are wondering whether Yeoh, who is known for her filial piety and strong family values, would hold a banquet in Malaysia with her new husband.
Yeoh made history by becoming the first Malaysian and Chinese actress to win an Oscar, for her performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
This came on the heels of her winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, her first in her 40-year career, and she also became the first Asian woman in 45 years to achieve that feat.
Despite her impressive career achievements, Yeoh and Todt’s love story has been nothing short of sweet and romantic.
The couple has spent nearly two decades together, hand in hand through different stages of life.
The couple first met at a dinner party in 2004 when Todt, who was then the CEO of Formula One team Scuderia Ferrari, fell in love at first sight with Yeoh.
Despite the 16-year age difference, it did not deter their relationship, which was often shared on social media.
Yeoh had also expressed gratitude for Todt’s constant companionship and support for her career in the entertainment industry. Their public appearances often showcased their deep affection for one another.
