In the interview, Michelle revealed that although she really wanted to be a mother, she was diagnosed as unable to conceive. "I love children. (Having children) is one of the greatest joys in a person's life, but what can I do? It's not that I didn't want to try; we did everything, but unfortunately, physically, I cannot (get pregnant)," concluded Michelle Yeoh.
"At that moment, (separation) was my choice because I realized my ex (husband) wanted a big family, not just one or two children. He had worked hard to build a business empire and he needed his children to inherit it," explained Michella Yeoh.
"So I thought, 'Oh my God (what if) in 10 years we still can't have children, what will we do? It might be too late by then," she continued.
After the separation, Michelle maintained a good relationship with her ex-husband and his family. She even became a godmother to her friends' children and feels grateful for that role.
"Now I am grateful because all my friends trust me with their children and I already have six godchildren," concluded the 62-year-old actress. Â
Although the dream of having a biological child did not come true, Michelle found happiness in her new role as a godmother and as an aunt to her nieces and nephews. She reflects on her gratitude for the relationships she has built with the children around her.
