Brazilian racing driver Felipe Massa also shared the wonderful news in an Instagram post congratulating the newlyweds. His post featured the wedding card during the event and included some pictures.

As seen on the wedding card, the ceremony was held on July 27 in Geneva, Switzerland, and it was also revealed that the couple first met in Shanghai, China, on June 4, 2004. The former Ferrari CEO then proposed to Yeoh less than two months after, on July 26, 2004.

The card also included a short statement: "She said yes today after 6992 days on July 27 2023 in Geneva, surrounded by loving family and friends. We are happy to celebrate this special moment together," as per When in Manila.

Yeoh is also known for her roles in various other films, such as "Tomorrow Never Dies," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and "Crazy Rich Asians." She became the first Asian actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Even Wang in "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

Before her relationship with Todt, Yeoh married Hong Kong entrepreneur Dickson Poon from 1988 to 1992. On the other hand, the former Ferrari CEO, who is currently a motor racing executive, has a son, Nicolas Todt, from a prior marriage.

Another image from the wedding ceremony showed the Oscar-winning actress wearing a cream silk shirt and a tasseled cream skirt while standing next to Todt. The series of images shared via social media also featured Yeoh wearing a different wedding outfit, a nude lace dress with a silk bodice.

In one photograph, Yeoh and Todt, who only wore the same dapper blue suit throughout the celebrations, smiled and embraced. During the actress' Oscar win earlier this year, she said it was a historical moment and expressed her gratitude to the Academy for acknowledging and embracing diversity and true representation, according to People.

During the ceremony on March 13, Yeoh gave a rousing speech that she dedicated to all the little boys and girls who look like her. She said that her achievement marked a beacon of hope and possibilities and proved that dreams come true.

In a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Todt confirmed his marriage with Yeoh. In his tweet, the former Ferrari CEO said that now that his other son, Massan, discreetly spread the good news, he can happily confirm his union with Yeoh.

During an interview last year, the Hollywood actress briefly discussed marriage. She said it was simply a piece of paper that did not change anything for her and her relationship with Todt. However, she noted that it means a lot to her partner, which made it mean a lot to her, said NBC News.
