31-7-2024 (KUALA LUMPUR) Acclaimed Malaysian actress and Oscar winner Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh and her husband Jean Todt have commemorated their first year of marital bliss with a touching celebration that has captured the hearts of fans and fellow celebrities alike.
The internationally renowned star took to social media to share the joyous occasion, posting two evocative photographs that encapsulated the couple’s enduring love story. One image featured a stone etched with their names and the date of their nuptials, 27 July 2023, serving as a permanent testament to their union. The second snapshot portrayed the couple in a sun-dappled garden, with Todt, 78, tenderly embracing Yeoh, 61, in a display of affection that belied their years in the spotlight.
Yeoh’s succinct yet poignant caption, “Celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary,” drew an outpouring of well-wishes from a constellation of stars. Comedic talent Ken Jeong, actor Harry Shum Jr., and acclaimed director James Gunn were among the notable figures who extended their congratulations to the couple.
The couple’s fanbase was equally effusive in their response, with messages of support flooding in from across the globe. One admirer wrote, “Happy anniversary! Here’s to many more happy days together!” while another chimed in with, “Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.”
Currently, the newlyweds find themselves in the City of Light, Paris, where they are lending their support to the upcoming 2024 Olympics. Yeoh, ever the humanitarian, has used her platform to champion the Refugee Olympic Team, a group of athletes who have been displaced from their home countries. Her impassioned plea for public support underscores the couple’s commitment to using their influence for positive change.
The couple’s journey to the altar was a testament to their enduring bond, culminating in a romantic ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland, last year after an impressive 19-year courtship. Their union was further celebrated with intimate gatherings in Yeoh’s hometown of Ipoh and the picturesque Pangkor Island in Perak, allowing close friends and family to partake in their joy.
Todt, the former president of the International Automobile Federation, and Yeoh have long been admired for their individual accomplishments. Their marriage has only served to strengthen their collective influence in both the entertainment and sporting worlds.
