In a new interview with People magazine, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh gushes about her husband Jean Todt, 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 candidly.
Yeoh and Todt were engaged for 19 years before finally tying the knot in 2023. The couple just 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, in which she lends her voice to the Chinese blockbuster.
The 63-year-old added that she feels lucky to have a partner like Todt, who understands her gruelling 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 will reprise her role as Madame Morrible in the second part of Wicked at the end of the 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.
“On the day of our anniversary, I was actually flying,” she added.
