Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Marries Lauren Sánchez in Venice Wedding

by

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez certainly delivered when it came to a glamorous Italian wedding. 

On June 27, as reported by several sources, Jeff Bezos, co-founder of Amazon, and his long-term partner exchanged marriage vows at a grand, celebrity-filled event held in Venice, Italy.

Jeff and Lauren held a formal wedding on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, inviting fewer than 200 people, as reported. Notably, many celebrities attended, including members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who graced Venice for this special occasion.

Leading up to their special day, Lauren’s brother, Paul Sánchez, made predictions about her and Jeff’s wedding, drawing comparisons between the occasion and the grandeur of Princess Diana and then-Prince Charles’ 1981 nuptials as he shared with TMZ on March 27. He expressed his expectations that it would be a spectacular event filled with excitement and joy.

He added, “We’re still gathering most of the information, but it promises to be a high-profile and enjoyable affair.” He also stated that “it will undoubtedly be a fantastic occasion.

Indeed, Paul’s predictions proved accurate as Orlando Bloom, Eva Longoria, the Kardashian sisters – Kim, Khloe, Kris, Kylie, and Kendall – graced the streets of Venice together.

In May 2023, Jeff and Lauren officially became engaged, and during their vacation in the south of France later that year, it was noticed that Lauren was wearing a ring on her engagement finger. Before they embarked on their married life two years later, however, there was one significant milestone for Lauren to achieve: A journey into space.

April 14 saw Lauren embarking on a journey into space, sharing the ride with Katy Perry, Gayle King, and others aboard Jeff’s Blue Origin rocket. This groundbreaking mission took the all-female team 62 miles above earth, reaching the Kármán line – the boundary between our planet’s atmosphere and outer space. Despite the emotional nature of the expedition, Lauren was eager to return home to her beloved one.

She shared with Blue Origin at the West Texas launch site that all the affection enclosed in the capsule, along with her emotions and seeing Jeff before she departed, left her feeling compelled to return. Essentially, since they are getting married, not returning would have been disappointing for her.

However, when they’re not participating in presidential inaugurations or space travel, this dynamic pair delights in spending time with their extensive family. This family unit consists of Jeff’s four children from his former spouse Mackenzie Scott, Lauren’s 18-year-old son Evan and 17-year-old daughter Ella, who are also from a previous relationship with Patrick Whitesell. Additionally, they share a son Nikko, 24, with ex Tony Gonzalez.

On an average Saturday, we spend time together, usually sharing meals with our children, which is exciting because you can’t predict the direction of the conversation with so many kids, as Lauren expressed during her interview with WSJ Magazine in January 2023. “We’re just like the Brady Bunch!” she added.

In relation to our blended family adventure, I attribute a great deal of its success to the joint work my husband, Tony, and I have put into our co-parenting. I’m incredibly proud of how we’ve navigated this journey together, especially with Tobie Gonzalez now being part of our family as October’s spouse.

Lauren added, “My most inspiring model is my bond with Tobie’s father, Tony. Tony, his wife, and they are our closest friends. This year, they joined us for Thanksgiving. I’m incredibly proud of it. My son often tells me, ‘I’m the luckiest boy on earth because I can celebrate Thanksgiving with both my parents without them being married.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to mention a fascinating aspect of my life: my partnership with Jeff. We not only share the joys and challenges of daily living, but we also lend each other professional support in our respective careers. This mutual encouragement has undeniably strengthened our bond.

She expressed, “This has been the most extraordinary encounter I’ve known so far,” she said. “In contrast to my professional life that’s always been distinct from my partner’s, we truly enjoy spending time with each other and collaborating on projects. He’s assisting me with my book, learning to fly, and we take flights together. We exercise together as well. Essentially, we spend a lot of our time together.

And that emphasis on their partnership goes both ways.

In 2022, Jeff stated to CNN, “Lauren is undeniably one of the kindest, most compassionate individuals you could encounter. She serves as an inspiration due to her generosity at all levels. Whether it’s someone she has just met or a close friend, and whether it’s a small act or a grand gesture, Lauren is always generous.
