Michelle Yeoh Was Desperate to Have Children – Inside Her IVF Journey

Michelle Yeoh has been married once.
She is currently in a relationship with her partner Jean Todt but was married from 1988 to 1992 to Hong Kong entrepreneur Dickson Poon. When she was married to her husband, Yeoh had a flourishing career.
However, she gave it all up to have children and make a family with Poon. She was desperate to be a mother, so she tried to focus on herself and her husband.
She even tried IVF, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.
Michelle Yeoh tried IVF to have children
In a 2018 interview with You Magazine, the Oscar-winning actress opened up about wanting to have children. She revealed she was desperate to have kids and even tried IVF treatment.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the various treatments available to aid people who are having difficulty having a baby. During IVF, an egg is extracted from the woman’s ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory using sperm.
The fertilized egg, known as an embryo, is subsequently returned to the woman’s womb to develop and thrive. It is a complicated process that takes a toll on a woman’s mental and physical health.
Yeoh told the magazine, “I was desperate. I love kids and saw myself surrounded by them. But there’s only so much you can put your body and mind through.”

Unfortunately, her IVF treatments were not successful. As a result, Yeoh could do nothing, but accept her reality.
She said, “It comes to a stage where you have to accept it, move on and deal with the repercussions. And in a Chinese family, [having children] means a great deal.”
Not being able to conceive children was one of the reasons for the actress’s divorce from her first husband. She told Bustle in March 2022, “And if I’m being honest with myself, I didn’t want for us to be bitter 10 years down the road.”
She explained how people in Asian households wanted kids because they were an extension and a legacy. So, since Yeoh and Poon could not have any children, the pair came to terms with it.
“You deal with the curveballs that are thrown at you,” she said.
Michelle Yeoh and her stepson
Despite not having children of her own, Yeoh is a godmother to various kids. This includes her ex-husband’s daughter Dee and her brother’s kids.
The Everything Everywhere All at Once star also has a stepson with whom she shares a lovely relationship. Since 2004, she has been dating French motor racing executive Todt.
The couple got engaged in 2005 and have been together since then. However, they have not exchanged vows over 18 years after they originally became engaged.
Todt was previously married and has a son called Nicolas, who is also a motor racing manager. According to the Financial Times, Jean and Michelle had a property in Geneva, Switzerland, where Nicolas resided nearby.
The three appear to be a very happy family, and Yeoh has shared adorable images with her fiancé and his son on Instagram. So despite not having children of her own, Yeoh is leading a happy life with her partner and stepson.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Into Box Office Success

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.
This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.
Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.
With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Rolls Out Star‑Studded Cast

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially underway, and the cast lineup is as iconic as fans hoped. Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, joined once again by Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci — reprising their roles nearly two decades after the 2006 original became a cultural classic.
But the sequel isn’t just about the old guard. It’s adding new faces to the high-fashion chaos, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley. Acclaimed actor and director Kenneth Branagh will also appear as Miranda’s husband — a character that’s expected to shake up the dynamics at Runway Magazine.
Plot details are still under wraps, but the film is scheduled to release on May 1, 2026. It’s expected to explore the evolving world of fashion media while diving deeper into Miranda’s personal life and Andy Sachs’ next chapter. Notably missing is Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend Nate in the original. Sources say his character won’t return for the sequel.
With a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver sharp dialogue, high fashion, and the kind of dramatic flair only Miranda Priestly can serve.
