Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh finally tied the knot on July 27, 2023, after being engaged for 20 years. The Oscar winner and the former Ferrari team principal had been together since 2004. They met in Shanghai on June 4, 2004, and more than a month later Jean Todt asked for Michelle Yeoh’s hand in marriage.
She agreed and they were engaged for the last 20 years. Felipe Massa shared a picture of the wedding card of the two on Instagram. After that he also shared a few selfies and pictures of the happy couple together and Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar making an appearance. One of the last slides had a video of the two of them saying “I do.” This intimate moment was shared with the world as the duo finally came together as one.

The ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ star was seen having two different bridal outfits for her wedding. While the two shared their moment of love, the spotlight was back on their relationship.
Did Michael Schumacher help Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh to get together?
Jean Todt first started in Formula 1 in 1993, as a team principal for Ferrari. Under him, he had Michael Schumacher as a driver after his move from Benetton. Under Jean Todt’s supervision, Michael Schumacher became a seven-time World Champion. Five of these World Championship titles are consecutive wins with Ferrari and Jean Todt.
Not only that but Jean Todt’s leadership brought Ferrari their 8 Constructor’s Championship titles. Jean Todt himself had once mentioned how he had gotten help from Michael Schumacher to impress his wife. Schumacher, who was driving for Ferrari around the time of Jean Todt’s candidacy as the team principal, had taught Jean how to send a text.
After his incredible leadership, he was given the title of the CEO of the Ferrari F1 team. However, he still managed the team as the principal. But after Schumacher’s retirement, Todt decided to step down from his position too. Shortly after, Jean Todt became the president of FIA. He was a president until 2021 and was re-elected twice throughout his presidency.
His wife, Michelle Yeoh is an Oscar winner actress. Before her Oscar and Golden Globe-winning role as Evelyn Wang in ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, she played roles in movies like ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ and ‘Shang Chi’. She is also known for her incredible roles in the Memoirs of Geisha and The Legend of the Ten Rings. While the two haven’t made any official statements about their marriage, we hope the couple for a happy married life.
