Michelle Yeoh Marries Jean Todt After 19-Year Engagement

Michelle Yeoh is making 2023 her year.

Months after making history as the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress, she married her longtime partner, Jean Todt. The newlyweds have been together for 19 years after meeting in Shanghai in June 2004. Their wedding program, posted on Instagram by Brazilian racecar driver, Felipe Massa, gave guests a summarized history of their love story.

“We met in Shanghai on 4th June 2004,” the program begins. “On 26th July 2004, J.T. proposed to marry M.Y. and she said YES!”

“Today after 6992 days on 27th July 2023 in Geneve, surrounded by loving family and friends, we are so happy to celebrate this special moment together,” the program continued. A picture of Yeoh and Todt is posted above the wedding note.

Yeoh had two wedding outfits, one was simple and elegant and consisted of a white silk button-up top and a long white frayed skirt. The other, an eye-catching Schiaparelli dress named “Face of Happiness,” included a light-golden corset adorned with jewels positioned on it to make a face. The corset was worn over a form-fitting lace dress.

The new bride also took to Instagram to announce her marriage to Todt, sharing a carousel of photos from the intimate wedding and even a snap of their wedding bed. One picture shows the newly wedded couple smiling as they look down on their banded fingers. Another picture shows them in bed with two towel swans facing each other and a heart made of purple and white petals in front of the couple.
