Raelyn is the granddaughter of Michelle Yeoh from her stepson Nicolas Todt. Michelle is a proud stepmom and grandmother.
Yeaoh is a well-known Malaysian actress who rose to fame in the 1990s after starring in multiple Hong Kong action films where she performed her own stunts.
She appeared in action movies such as Yes, Madam (1985), Police Story 3: Supercop (1992), Holy Weapon (1993), and The Heroic Trio (1993).
The actress then moved to the United States, where she attained further recognition for her portrayals in Tomorrow NeverDies (1997) and Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
Yeaoh is perhaps best known for playing Evelyn Wang in Daniel Kwan’s Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022).
Following her role in the film, she received the Academy Award for Best Actress and became the first Asian actress to win Oscar in the category.
Who Is Raelyn To Michelle Yeoh?
Raelyn is the grandchild of Michelle Yeoh. She was born to her stepson, Nicolas, in April 2019.
There was a time in Yeaoh’s life when she was so determined to be a mother that she walked away from her career to start her family. And today, she is a happy stepmom and grandma.
In 1988, when she was an action star, she married Dickson Poon. At 28 years old, she thought it was the right time to settle down, get married, and have a new life, Bustle reported.
Later she learned that she could not have kids. She then made a bold decision to leave her marriage to Dickson in 1991. While the couple divorced, they still remained friends.
In 2004, she met Jean Todt, a French motor racing executive, in Shanghai, and they were engaged a year later. The pair are still engaged to each other in 2023 and appear to be inseparable.
Jean had a son, Nicolas, from his previous relationship. Yeoh then became stepmother to his son when they got engaged.
The Shang-Chi star couldn’t be happier when Nicolas made her a super proud grandma when he welcomed his little bundle of joy, Raelyn, in 2019.
The little nugget is also a pretty proud grandkid.
When not working, Yeoh loves spending time with her granddaughter. She often shares her fun pictures and clips with Raelyn on social media and never hesitates to express her love and adoration.

Yeoh was more than happy after reuniting with her little nugget after nine months in December 2021. They celebrated their reunion with a drink.

The actress had a lovely welcome in July 2022
Last year in July, the actress was overwhelmed when she received a welcome home card from her grandkid.
She couldn’t hold her joy but share a picture of herself with her little girl, holding the card. She captioned the post, “Such a lovely welcome home and then to Minion adventure.”
Birthday post
The little girl celebrated her 3rd birthday on April 19, 2022. It was also Yeoh’s mom’s birthday.
Yeoh took to her Instagram to share several pictures from the birthday celebration and wished her mom and grandkid the happiest birthday.
Raelyn’s prayer for the EEAAO family
On December 19, 2022, the actress shared an adorable clip on Instagram where the little nugget says a prayer in honor of her Popo’s Oscar-nominated movie.
“Everything Everywhere All At Once! Everything Everywhere All At Once!” she says in front of a cake. Well, she helped things along as the film walked away with seven Oscars, including Best Actress and Best Pictures.
While the actress might have millions of fans and followers worldwide, there’s no debate about who’s her biggest supporter.
Raelyn Was Born To Nicolas Todt
Raelyn is the daughter of Yeoh’s stepson Nicolas, a French motorsport team owner. He was born on November 17, 1977, to Jean and his then-wife.
Much like his father, Todt is involved in the world of motorsports. He founded All Roads Management in 2003 to manage and develop talents seeking to reach the top from karting to F1.
Now, he is the manager of famous racing drivers, such as Felipe Massa, Daniil Kvyat, James Calado, Jose Maria Lopez, Marcus Armstrong, Caio Collet, Gabriel Mini, and Christian Ho.
The Le Chesnay, Yvelines native was the co-owner of ART Grand Prix, a French motor racing team, until the end of 2018.
He is active on Instagram under the username @nicolastodt, with 115 posts and 18.2k followers.
In December 2020, Yeoh, her partner, and their son had a year-end gathering. Sharing several pictures from the happy time on Instagram, the actress wrote, “With by Todt boys and the best dinner.”
