In a heartwarming tale of enduring love, renowned actress Michelle Yeoh and former Ferrari executive Jean Todt finally tied the knot on Thursday, marking the end of a 19-year engagement. The couple, who got engaged with lightning speed less than two months after their first meeting in Shanghai on June 4, 2004, have proven that good things truly come to those who wait.
The long-awaited wedding took place in Geneva on July 27, 2023, surrounded by their loving friends and family, as shared in a wedding program posted by former Formula One racing driver Felipe Massa. The couple’s journey to this joyous occasion had its delightful moments, with Jean’s proposal and Michelle’s enthusiastic “YES!” taking place on July 26, 2004.
The couple’s union is a cause for celebration, not just for their well-wishers but also for the historic year it has been for Michelle Yeoh. Earlier in 2023, she took home the coveted Academy Award for Best Actress for her captivating performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” This prestigious win made her the first Asian woman in the awards’ 95-year history to receive this honor, following in the footsteps of only one other person of color, Halle Berry, who won the award in 2001 for “Monster’s Ball.”
Amidst her busy schedule and global triumphs, Michelle has been inseparable from her beloved Oscar statuette, affectionately nicknamed “Mr. O.” Weighing 8 ½ pounds and standing at 13 ½ inches tall, the golden companion has been by her side during her travels, including her return to Malaysia, where her mother hosted a grand watch party to celebrate the historic Oscar victory.
The love between Michelle Yeoh and Jean Todt has truly blossomed over the years, and their wedding day is a testament to the power of patience and devotion. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives together, friends, fans, and well-wishers eagerly await the couple’s own photographs and posts from their memorable wedding day.
The story of Michelle Yeoh and Jean Todt is not just one of romance and commitment but also of accomplishments and accolades. With a flourishing career and a newfound milestone in her personal life, Michelle continues to charm audiences worldwide with her extraordinary talent, while Jean Todt stands proudly as her partner, supporting her every step of the way.
As the couple begins this new phase of their journey together, they can undoubtedly look forward to a future filled with love, adventures, and cherished memories, surrounded by the love and admiration of all those who have been touched by their story. Congratulations to the newlyweds on their heartwarming wedding, and may their love continue to shine as brightly as an Oscar on the Hollywood stage!
