Michelle Yeoh reveals unexpected reason for wedding after 19 years of engagement

Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh told why she agreed to formalize a relationship with former Ferrari boss Jean Todt only nineteen years after the engagement. The couple met in 2004, and two months later the man proposed to the actress. Despite this, lovers for many years did not hurry to arrange a wedding.

According to Yeo, the coronavirus pandemic played a decisive role, during which the couple faced difficulties crossing state borders. The actress, who has Malaysian citizenship, could not freely come to Switzerland, where her chosen one resided. The formal marriage made it possible to simplify legal formalities and solve the problem of travel.

Yeo and Todt married in Geneva in the summer of 2023, in a small ceremony for close friends. By that time, the actress had already received an Oscar for the main role in the film Everything Everywhere and At Once, becoming the first Asian artist to receive this award in the corresponding category. The celebrity admits that long years of waiting did not affect the strength of their relationship.
