Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Set to Marry in Venice

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are finalizing details for their highly anticipated wedding. According to reports, the couple has sent out invitations for the ceremony, which is expected to take place this June off the coast of Venice. The event will reportedly be held on Bezos’ luxurious $500 million yacht, Koru.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Jeff Bezos, 61, and the former news anchor, 55, went public with their relationship in 2019. Their romance blossomed after Bezos’ divorce from MacKenzie Scott and Sánchez’s split from Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. The Amazon founder and billionaire proposed in May 2023 while they were vacationing in the South of France, presenting Sánchez with a stunning 20-carat diamond engagement ring worth an estimated $2.5 million.

Debunking Wedding Rumors

Speculation about the wedding date and location has been ongoing. In December 2024, rumors circulated that the couple would have a $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado. However, Bezos publicly denied these claims, calling them “completely false”.

Star-Studded Guest List Expected

Their engagement celebration in Positano, Italy, drew high-profile guests, including Microsoft cofounder and billionaire Bill Gates, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Their wedding is expected to attract a similarly elite crowd, though the official guest list remains undisclosed.

Beyond the Wedding: Sánchez’s Space Mission

While planning her wedding, Sánchez is also preparing for a historic all-female space expedition aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The mission, set for this spring, includes notable figures such as singer and songwriter Katy Perry, Gayle King, and American TV presenter and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey. 

What’s Next?

With wedding preparations in full swing and an upcoming space mission, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Sánchez. As for Bezos, the billionaire continues to expand his ventures while preparing to say "I do" in what is expected to be one of the most talked-about weddings of the year.
