The internet is buzzing with rumors of a breakup between Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh. Let’s examine how much truth is in these tales. Jean Todt is a French motor racing executive and former rally co-driver. He was the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA)’s ninth president. Michelle Yeoh is a Malaysian-born actress who splits her time between Hong Kong and the United States. She became well-known for her appearances in Hong Kong action films.
Did Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh split?
No, Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh have not divorced, and any speculations regarding their breakup are incorrect. In their Geneva villa, the former FIA president and his actress wife live happily ever after. Jean just gave Michelle a surprise birthday party in August 2022. She shared the video on Instagram, and the pair seemed to be quite pleased with one other.
Indeed, Michelle seldom mentions her spouse, Jean, in her social media postings. However, this does not imply that the two have separated. Maybe it’s simply because Michelle is an actress who is always in the spotlight, but Jean is the polar opposite.
