Film icon Michelle Yeoh has become a “grandmother” after an eventful year in which she became the first Asian to win an Oscar for best actress and also got married.
The superstar, who launched her film career in Hong Kong, on Tuesday shared pictures on Instagram of her holding the foot of her step-grandson Maxime and in the company of her husband Jean Todt.
The Malaysian-born actress thanked Todt’s son, Nicolas, and daughter-in-law Darina for making the couple “the happiest and proudest grandparents”.
“We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son Maxime on January 1, 2024,” Nicolas Todt wrote in a separate post.
“Both mother and son are very well and we could not have started the year better! We are filled with happiness and blessed that life gave us this opportunity.”
Yeoh, 61, and her husband, 77, got married last July after they first met almost 20 years ago.
