Finally, the day came. After more than 19 years of engagement, actress Michelle Yeoh and former Ferrari Formula 1 team boss Jean Todt have married. The wedding has been very discreet. In fact, the one who has revealed the secret has been the former F1 driver, Felipe Massa, who shared the good news through his official Instagram profile of him. “Happy marriage, Jean and Michelle. I love you very much,” said the former athlete through a publication with photos of the link.
The Brazilian expilot, one of the couple’s best friends, couldn’t let this good news pass him by and has shared some of the best moments he had at the link. Felipe shared some fun images of the big day, which, as could be read in the invitation to the link, occurred 6,992 days after Jean asked Michelle to marry her, a few weeks after they met in Shanghai. The ceremony took place this Thursday in Geneva. “We are very happy to celebrate this special moment together,” the invitation read.
The former head of Ferrari, 77, and the Oscar winner, 60, have shown that they have taken this unusually long courtship and commitment with great humor, as can be read in their invitation to the link. In the snapshots, you can see the happy couple and also Felipe Massa posing with faces like Nicolas Todt, manager of Charles Leclerc, current Ferrari driver, or Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Lamborghini and general director of Formula 1.
As can be seen in the shared images, on her wedding day, the Malaysian-born actress did not wear a classic wedding dress. The ‘best leading actress’ Oscar winner for All At Once Everywhere wore a flared midi skirt with a silk blouse. Another of her outfits consisted of a beautiful beige dress with a corseted bodice and gold trim. Her boyfriend, for her part, was very elegant in a dark blue suit.
Switzerland was the place chosen for this link, since it is a very special and familiar place for the couple. This enclave could be due to the fact that they own an 18th century mansion in Geneva, which is their residence when they are not working. The couple also own properties in other parts of the world, such as Paris, Malaysia and Hong Kong. The couple met in 2004, while Todt was presenting a car at an event. That first impression was described as a “fairy tale” by the couple in an interview with the Financial Times.
As for her past relationships, Yeoh was married to businessman Dickson Poon from 1988 to 1991. For his part, the former Ferrari director has a son, Nicolas, from a previous union, while the actress has not had children. “I love children. I really wanted to have a family, but unfortunately luck did not smile on me,” she said in an interview. But both have found what they lack in their union, which is finally official.
