1905 Movie Network News A few days ago, Michelle Yeoh was a guest on the podcast of "Little Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow, rarely talked about her first marriage with her ex-husband Pan Disheng, and exposed for the first time that the main reason for the divorce is actually related to children.
Michelle Yeoh, who was a female star of "Debao Film Company", married the company's founder Pan Disheng in 1988. Michelle Yeoh returned to her family after marriage, and she said that at the age of 28, "getting married, finding a good man to settle down, and being taken care of" is her mother's greatest expectation for her. Later, he divorced, in fact, in addition to his family and acting career, he couldn't take care of it, the biggest reason was that Pan Disheng wanted a big family, "not just one, but two sons, or even three better".
"We've tried everything, but I really can't do it physically," Michelle Yeoh tried various methods, including artificial insemination, during her four-year marriage to Pan Disheng, but in the end she was unsuccessful. She said helplessly: "The other party's huge business empire needs an heir, which is not something that can be done by falling in love." Looking back now, she still thinks it was wise to choose to separate, "Divorce was tough, and I was able to leave [the marriage] instead of pretending that everything was going to be okay, and it was the right thing to do." We love each other, but holding on to it won't make our relationship any better." However, she did not have a bad relationship with Pan Disheng after she broke up, and the two still maintained a friendship relationship.
