After Her Inability To Have Kids Ended Her First Marriage, Michelle Yeoh Urged Couples To Discuss Children “Right At The Beginning” To Avoid “A Lot Of Hurt”

“That’s why this dialogue between a couple is so important,” she emphasized. “If one wants [something] and the other doesn’t, this is something you have to face right at the beginning because, along the way, there will be a lot of hurt… so I think it was very brave on our path to admit, to say, ‘Okay, let’s not drag this out.’”

After their marriage ended amicably, Michelle and her ex remained on friendly terms, and she even talked proudly in the interview about being the godmother to the eldest of his five children.
