At the beginning of January, 61-year-old Michelle Yeoh posted a "baby photo" on social networks to announce the good news, netizens did not know the ins and outs, and actually set "Michelle Yeoh as a mother" as a hot search topic.
How to be a mother at the age of 61? Even surrogacy is impossible, unless Michelle Yeoh's husband Todd finds a "surrogate mother" to give birth to him.
After Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar, she will officially become a bride in July 2023 and remarry the 77-year-old former president of Ferrari, Jean Todd, and the two have been in love for 19 years and have been engaged for several years.
On January 2, the newlywed Michelle Yeoh shared "baby photos" on social networks, she wrote, "On the first day of 2024, a little miracle, we are so happy, I can't tell you how happy I am, I am very, very, very happy." ”
Don't get me wrong, that's Todd's only child, Michelle Yeoh and Todd are promoted to grandparents.
Michelle Yeoh has mentioned many times in interviews that she likes children very, very much, and likes that her girlfriends around her let her be the godmother of her children, and now she is the "godmother" of 6 children.
Not long after becoming a grandmother, Michelle Yeoh was interviewed by her friend "Little Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow, talking about balancing marriage and work, divorcing her first husband and other past events.
After watching the interview, netizens learned that Michelle Yeoh divorced her ex-husband Pan Disheng because she couldn't have children.
It is reported that when Michelle Yeoh and Todd fell in love, they also tried artificial insemination, but unfortunately many efforts failed, and finally she accepted the fact that she could not have biological children.
When she married Pan Disheng, Michelle Yeoh was 28 years old, and after starting a family, she temporarily retired from the entertainment industry and devoted herself to being a wealthy woman.
The Dickson Poon family is the "old money" of Hong Kong and has a huge business empire.
Pan Disheng's father, Pan Jinxi, started as a watchmaker, established a watch shop to do business, and earned his first pot of gold.
After returning to Hong Kong, with the support of his father, he opened a watch and jewellery store and signed a Hong Kong agency for a number of international brands to sell high-end watches and precious jewelry.
Pan Disheng's first wife was the well-connected daughter Yang Minde, the Yang family was engaged in the textile business, and the two had a daughter, Pan Chuying.
When she was young, Yang Minde had beautiful and smart facial features, and she was also the heir to the family business, so she was destined not to be willing to be Pan Disheng's virtuous helper.
Pan Dickson's marriage was very short, ending in 1984 when his daughter was two years old, and after the divorce, Pan Dickson pursued the popular Michelle Yeoh.
Michelle Yeoh was born in a wealthy family in Malaysia and was raised by the rich since she was a child.
When he fell in love with Michelle Yeoh, Pan Disheng became interested in the film and television industry, and he and Sammo Hung established the "Debao Film Company" together, and filmed classic works such as "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Royal Senior Sister".
At that time, "Debao" was one of the five largest film companies in Hong Kong.
Michelle Yeoh married Pan Disheng in 1988, and 6-year-old Pan Chuying was a flower girl at the wedding and happily took a photo with her stepmother.
The most interesting thing is that Michelle Yeoh has a very good relationship with Pan Di's ex-wife Yang Minde, Michelle Yeoh not only regards Pan Chuying as her own, but she also regards Yang Minde as a good sister.
When Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar, Yang Minde (the white-haired person) and Pan Chuying (the person holding the newspaper) flew to the United States to celebrate her.
Michelle Yeoh can't juggle work after marriage, she has to concentrate on being someone else's wife, trying to get pregnant and have children, "This is not the pressure my first husband gave me, but my own choice, because I know that work and family, I just choose one of them, I want a real family life at that time." ”
This marriage lasted for four years, and during those four years, Michelle Yeoh tried various methods, hoping to give birth to a son and a half daughter, but unfortunately she couldn't do so.
The outside world has always thought that Michelle Yeoh and Pan Disheng divorced because the woman wanted to come back to filming, and in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Yeoh told the truth for the first time:
"We love each other a lot, but we haven't been able to have a child for almost ten years (about eight years in fact), and the other party's huge business empire needs an heir, which is not something that can be done by loving each other. Now it seems that it was wise for us to separate, divorce was tough, and I was able to leave (this marriage) instead of pretending that everything was going to be okay, and it was the right thing to do. Yes, we love each other, but barely going on will make our relationship any better. ”
Not being able to have a child in her first marriage made Michelle Yeoh feel sad, she loves children very much and feels that being a mother is one of the greatest joys in everyone's life, however, "we did everything necessary, unfortunately, my body can't bear ......"
Michelle Yeoh said in an interview that she can't give birth to a single child, and Pan Disheng needs three or four heirs, preferably sons, she can't satisfy each other, and there is really no way for the marriage to go on.
Helpless, Michelle Yeoh chose to divorce, she and Pan Disheng got together and broke up, and they are still friends.
In the year of his divorce from Michelle Yeoh, Pan Disheng married his third wife, Yu Guizhu:
The woman also comes from a well-known family, holds an MBA from Harvard University, and worked as a senior staff member of a securities company in Hong Kong.
After marriage, Yu Guizhu gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Pan Disheng, completing Pan Disheng's task of spreading the leaves.
It is reported that Yu Guizhu's eldest son, Pan Guanda, is the successor of the family and has begun to take over Pan Disheng's business kingdom.
Michelle Yeoh talked about the relationship with Pan Dey's ex-wife in the interview, she said with a smile that the two are like best friends, they meet abroad for a vacation when they are free, and accompany each other to attend events, "Many things, as long as you know how to let go, may be difficult at the moment, but in the end there will be good results."
Michelle Yeoh, who did not become a mother, won a grand slam in her career, this is her destiny and her personal choice.
