No plans to marry
Compiled by LI EE KEE
LAST year, after Jean Todt reportedly confirmed that the large diamond ring spotted on Datuk Michelle Yeoh’s finger was an engagement ring, it set off a flurry of speculation over a wedding between the Ferrari F1 team boss and the Malaysian actress. Last week, Yeoh announced that she has no immediate plans to tie the knot with her French beau or have children. She may, however, consider freezing her eggs for future use.
“We’ve talked about it. I’ve been married before. We’ll stay together as long as we’re happy. We don’t necessarily have to get married. Marriage is a bonus. Being together is enough. I also like to be independent,” Yeoh reportedly told Hong Kong’s Apple Daily.
Her marriage to Hong Kong tycoon Dickson Poon in 1988 lasted three years while Todt, 60, has a son, Nicholas, from an earlier marriage.

Later, when asked if she might follow other professional women in having her eggs frozen, she replied: “I might. Science is advanced now. I can’t imagine what’s it like to have a baby at 50. But nothing is impossible.”
Yeoh, last seen in Memoirs of a Geisha, has just finished filming director Danny Boyle’s sci-fi thriller Sunshine in Britain. She is due next to star in Olivier Assayas’ (Maggie Cheung’s ex-husband) thriller Boarding Gate and Peter Pau’s action-drama Hua Mulan.
