She was previously married to Hong Kong business magnate Vincent Poon and she cited infertility as the cause of their 1992 divorce – something she mentioned in a podcast with Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow earlier this year.

Yeoh delved deeper into the pains of infertility in the recent BBC podcast, reflecting on the constant cycle of blaming herself.

She shared how she eventually came to accept her situation.

“I think at some point, you stop blaming yourself. There are certain things in your body that don't function in a certain way, that's how it is," said the Everything Everywhere All At Once star.

“You just have to let go and move on. And I think you come to a point where you have to stop blaming yourself.”

Yeoh also mentioned how her split from Poon was "heartbreaking" but necessary.

“Yes, we love each other very much now, but in 10 years or 20 years, I still can’t give him the family that he craves for," she explained.

“That's why dialogues like this between a couple are so important. 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."
