Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh recently exchanged vows with her longtime partner, Jean Todt, in a heartwarming ceremony held in Switzerland. The couple’s union comes nearly two decades after the French businessman proposed to the Malaysian actress.
Yeoh, who made history this year as the first woman of Asian descent to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, took to Instagram to share the joyous news. In her post, she expressed gratitude to their supportive “families” and looked forward to many more cherished moments together.
The wedding photos shared on social media captured the couple exchanging rings and cuddling on a bed adorned with delicate flower petals, symbolizing the love that has blossomed between them over the years.
A touching wedding message posted by racing driver Felipe Massa, who attended the ceremony, provided a glimpse into the couple’s enduring love story. They first met in Shanghai on June 4, 2004, and on July 26, 2004, Jean Todt proposed to Michelle Yeoh, who joyfully accepted. After an incredible journey spanning 6,992 days, they finally tied the knot on July 27, 2023, in Geneva, surrounded by their loving family and friends.
Michelle Yeoh has been praised for her remarkable performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a movie that revolves around a Chinese immigrant and laundromat owner caught in a multiverse struggle. The film received immense acclaim and bagged seven Oscars, including Best Picture, at the Academy Awards earlier this year.
Her husband, Jean Todt, earned his fame as a World Rally Championship co-driver and served as the former president of Formula 1’s governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile. Presently, he holds the prestigious position of the United Nations Secretary General’s special envoy for road safety.
As fans celebrate the joyous occasion and applaud the couple’s enduring love, Michelle Yeoh and Jean Todt’s union serves as a heartwarming reminder that true love knows no bounds and can withstand the test of time.
