However, it was soon revealed that the baby in the photo was not Yeoh's child, but rather the grandchild of her husband, Jean Todt. Todt, the former head of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), has a son from a previous marriage, and it is this son who has recently welcomed a new addition to the family.
Yeoh's post, which has received over 32,000 likes and numerous comments, has been met with an outpouring of congratulations and well-wishes. Netizens have expressed their joy for the couple, with some noting that Yeoh, known for her impressive action sequences and dedication to her craft, is now a grandmother.
One user, @炸毛的_泡泡, shared a video on Weibo, saying, "姐姐,前几天才看到说结婚这就生娃了,原来是孙子,恭喜啊,打戏超精彩的…" Another user, @清纯佳人白玫瑰o, posted a video congratulating Yeoh on her new role as a grandmother and praising her as "the ultimate example of a Chinese martial arts film heroine."
Despite the joyous occasion, some social media users have raised questions and even made jokes. One user, @她要是自己想生,800年前就生了为啥等这么大岁数,网友们真的异想天开你看,贷款🐴了吧!, humorously commented on Yeoh's age and the improbability of her having waited until her 60s to have a child.
The image accompanying Yeoh's post provides a visual representation of the new family member. It shows a baby being held by its mother, with a ring on her finger, suggesting the mother may have recently wed. The baby is asleep and surrounded by a hospital setting, with medical equipment and other people in the background. The image captures a tender moment of new life and the love surrounding it.
In light of this revelation, it is clear that Yeoh and Todt, who have been together for over 20 years and recently tied the knot, are now embracing their roles as grandparents. This news has been received with excitement and admiration for Yeoh's personal and professional achievements.
As the story unfolds, it serves as a reminder that life's greatest miracles often come in the most unexpected packages, and that love and family are the true constants in an ever-changing world.
