28-7-2023 (GENEVA) Michelle Yeoh, the acclaimed actress known for her roles in Hong Kong action films and Hollywood blockbusters, has tied the knot with French businessman Jean Todt. The couple, who have been together for 19 years, reportedly got married yesterday in Geneva, Switzerland, with friends and family in attendance.
Yeoh’s career has spanned decades and genres, from her early films in Hong Kong, where she performed her own stunts, to her breakout roles in Hollywood, such as Tomorrow Never Dies and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In 2022, she won critical acclaim for her performance in the science fiction surreal comedy film Everything Everywhere All at Once, for which she became the first Asian woman to win the Best Actress award at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.
Aside from her acting career, Yeoh is also known for her philanthropic work and activism. She is a patron of the Save China’s Tigers project and has been involved in various health and well-being issues, including AIDS and road safety.
In terms of her personal life, Yeoh was previously married to Hong Kong entrepreneur Dickson Poon from 1988 to 1992. She was also engaged to American cardiologist Alan Heldman in 1998. However, it was her relationship with Jean Todt that lasted the longest. Todt, who was the general manager and CEO of Scuderia Ferrari and later the president of the FIA, has been Yeoh’s partner since 2004. The couple currently lives in Geneva, Switzerland.
Yeoh’s wedding to Todt marks a new chapter in her life and career. She is set to star in the upcoming series The Brothers Sun for Netflix and in the film adaptation of the musical Wicked directed by Jon M. Chu. As her fans and admirers congratulate her on her marriage, Yeoh continues to inspire and entertain audiences with her talent and grace.
