Michelle Yeoh married her longtime partner, Jean Todt, in Geneva, Switzerland, Thursday, after a long 19-year engagement.
Former Formula 1 racing driver Felipe Massa shared a series of photos from the happy occasion, confirming that Yeoh, 60, and Todt, 77, have tied the knot.
Massa captioned the post: "Happy marriage #JeanTodt & #michelleyeoh love you so much . ❤️❤️"
A representative for Yeoh did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The first picture posted by Massa shows a card that describes the couple's long journey to their wedding.
"We met in Shanghai on 4th June 2004. On 26th July 2004, J.T proposed to marry M.Y and she said YES," the card said.
"Today after 6992 days on 27th July 2023 in Geneva, surrounded by loving family and friends, We are so happy to celebrate this special moment together."
Massa's pictures show that Yeoh's Oscar, which she won earlier this year for her lead role in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," appears to have been present at the celebration.
Todt is a former rally co-driver and racing director who has won several championships for Peugeot and Ferrari.
In 2004, Todt was promoted to the CEO of Ferrari, and he met Yeoh the same year.
According to Elle, the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" actor met Todt while doing publicity for Ferrari in Shanghai.
Asked why they had not married yet, Yeoh told the Guardian in 2021: "We've been threatening to get married for such a long time. Sometimes we say, 'Wait, didn't we already do it?'"
Todt is currently the United Nations Secretary-General's special envoy for road safety, promoting and campaigning for road safety across the world.
Todt has one son, Nicolas, from a previous relationship. Nicolas Todt also works in motorsports as a driver manager to Massa, and Charles Leclerc.
Yeoh was previously married to Hong Kong billionaire Dickson Poon between 1988 and 1992.
