KUALA LUMPUR: In a recent interview with People magazine, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh spoke glowingly about her husband, Jean Todt, affectionately calling him “a romantic”.
“He doesn’t count by years. He tells me we’ve been together 7,000-something days. And if I really ask, he’ll give me hours and minutes too,” the Oscar winner said.
After a 19-year engagement, Yeoh and Todt finally married in 2023.
The couple recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary on July 27.
“We’ve been together for 21 years, and we’ve been married for two,” she told People while promoting her latest project, Ne Zha 2, where she voices a character in the Chinese blockbuster.
The 63-year-old added that she feels fortunate to have a partner who understands her demanding schedule.
“I am so blessed because he’s so supportive of what I do. I love my work. This is my passion,” said Yeoh, who is set to reprise her role as Madame Morrible in the second part of Wicked later this year.
“He never turns around and says, ‘You spend a lot of time away from me,’ which I have, sometimes. But he’s very understanding.”
