Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to tie knot in a summer wedding in Venice

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, have officially sent out their wedding invitations, nearly two years after getting engaged. The couple will tie the knot in Venice, Italy, this summer, according to Page Six.
The ceremony is set to take place aboard Bezos’ $500 million superyacht, Koru, off the coast of Italy in June.
Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, got engaged in May 2023, four years after the billionaire’s divorce from MacKenzie Scott and the same year when Sanchez ended her marriage to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell.
Following their engagement, the couple celebrated in Positano, Italy, with high-profile guests, including Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Kris Jenner. Sanchez was also spotted earlier this month at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, wearing a white strapless mermaid gown by Oscar de la Renta—sparking wedding speculation.
While there were earlier rumours that the wedding would take place in Colorado last December, Bezos dismissed the claims. Sanchez previously shared with Vogue that she was so overwhelmed when Bezos proposed with a 20-carat, $2.5 million diamond ring that she “blacked out a bit.”
Beyond wedding plans, Sanchez is preparing for a space trip with an all-female crew aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket this spring. She will be joined by Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, and Gayle King for the historic mission, the 11th human flight by Bezos’ space company.
Bezos and Sanchez, who began dating in 2019, initially kept their relationship low-key until finalising their respective divorces. Bezos and his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, share four children, while Sanchez has three children, two with Whitesell and one with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
