1. Michelle Yeoh gets married after 19-year engagement

She said yes … nearly two decades ago. Michelle Yeoh has finally married her longtime partner, former Ferrari CEO Jean Todt, after they were engaged for a whopping 19 years. The news was revealed on Instagram by racing driver Felipe Massa, who shared photos from the wedding. The program described how Yeoh and Todt met in June 2004, and he proposed to her a month later. But they never got around to tying the knot until now. "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," the program said, and one of the photos shared by Massa showed the actress holding her Oscar. Yeoh told The Guardian in 2021 that she and Todt have "been threatening to get married for such a long time," and "sometimes we say, 'Wait, didn't we already do it?'" Here's to a lifetime of laundry and taxes.
