The star, who launched her film career in Hong Kong, tied the knot on Thursday, with the wedding attended by family and friends, including Brazilian racing driver Felipe Massa, who posted a photo of the invitation card on social media.

Malaysian-born Yeoh, 60, wed Frenchman Todt, 77, a former motor-racing executive and ex-rally co-driver, after first meeting him almost two decades ago. He was previously also the CEO of Ferrari.

Yeoh updated her Facebook page on Saturday with photos of the wedding, including one showing the couple exchanging rings. Another photo shows the happy couple cuddling in bed, which is decorated with two loving swans formed from towels.

She said in the post: “19 years and YES!! we are married!! Thkq to our ‘families’ who love us for all these years. We love you and here’s to many more to come.”

The couple said that less than two months after meeting, Todt had proposed to Yeoh on July 26, 2004, and she had said yes. The pair met in Shanghai on June 4 that year.

“Today after 6,992 days on July 27th, 2023 in Geneva, surrounded by loving family and friends, we are so happy to celebrate this special moment together!” a message on the card revealed by Massa read.
