Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Vibe Dampened by Ivanka Trump's Security Detail, Says ‘Source'
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding is the ceremony of the year, which has taken over the entirety of Venice, with Ivanka Trump having arrived for the festivities with her own security. However, the couple's wedding team is seemingly irritated because of the security detail President Donald Trump's daughter brought with her. According to a source, it might have dampened the vibe of the star-studded nuptials. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are all set to have a billion-dollar wedding in Venice, Italy. They have reportedly taken over the City of Canals and are observing major safety measures due to the ongoing protests. However, it seems like the couple's VIP guest, Ivanka Trump, has taken it up a notch. A source told Rob Shuter, 'She didn't come alone — she brought Washington with her.' The businesswoman and her husband, Jared Kushner, have arrived at the wedding with their own security detail. Supposedly, it has caused disruption and impacted the Amazon founder's wedding vibe, which has annoyed his logistics team. According to the insider, Trump's private security has turned the couple's 'exclusive romance' into a nightmare. Due to metal detectors and black SUVs lining up, her team has disrupted Bezos's chilled-out ceremony. 'Let's just say Jeff's not used to being told he can't go somewhere,' the source added. His crew is seemingly facing issues with the entry and exit gates. Shuter got in touch with a guest, who said, 'Bezos has the money — but Ivanka brought the muscle.' The nuptials have turned into a turf war due to the duo's teams butting heads over drone flight zones. Ivanka Trump's security is allegedly adding to Jeff Bezos' trouble amid the ongoing protests, as the locals protest his shutting down the Italian city for his wedding. The Amazon founder and his fiancée have planned a three-day ceremony, with the couple scheduled to tie the knot on Friday, June 27. The celebrity guests, including Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Scooter Braun, Khloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner, have arrived at the venue. It was previously reported that the wedding venue was kept a secret from the attendees till the very last minute.

D4vd And Stray Kids' Hyunjin Duet On New, Dreamy 'Always Love' Single
d4vd attends the Amiri Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week; Hyunjin of ... More Stray Kids performs at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards. When d4vd and Hyunjin of Stray Kids first began trading praise in interviews, few could have predicted the virtual admiration would bloom into one of the most heartfelt and cohesive crossover collaborations of the year. Yet today, June 27, the internet bromance becomes a reality on record with the release of 'Always Love,' a swirling duet blending of melancholy pop and R&B production that manages to feels like the perfect union of the two respective musical viewpoints. From the dreamy opening offering psychedelic guitars with simple percussion, d4vd's signature atmospheric soundscape sets a sonic stage that allows his and Hyunjin's soothing, feather-light vocals to float effortlessly on top. The track's lyrical journey unfolds through a progression of intimate questions — beginning with 'Do you…' before moving to 'Would you…' and, ultimately, 'Are you…' — before resolving to the tender resolution: 'I don't need no one else but you.' It's the kind of track that feels both universal while remaining deeply personal. Just weeks before the 'Always Love' release, d4vd met up with Stray Kids backstage at their June 3 concert at SoFi Stadium to snap a photo with the group and a separate selfie with Hyunjin. That image served as the official photo teaser for 'Always Love,' leaving global fans buzzing ever Hyunjin has previously dipped his toes into a solo feature with Troye Sivan's 'Rush' remix alongside PinkPantheress, 'Always Love' marks the first time the K-pop superstar commands a larger section of a song outside of his and Stray Kids' releases, showcasing his ability to shine solo a song on his own and likely paving the way for further solo ventures. 'This was a true full circle moment,' d4vd said in a press statement. 'Hyunjin mentioned me in an interview last year then I mentioned him on the radio when I was in Korea and it just kind of kept spiraling until ultimately we got to work together. He's so talented and I'm really excited with how the song turned out. I'd like to especially thank the Stray Kids fans for being so supportive and accepting of this collaboration.' d4vd co-wrote 'Always Love' the track with producers Andrew Luce and LeeLee. Luce's credits include Lil Nas X's 'Sun Goes Down,' Tomorrow X Together and iann dior's 'Valley of Lies,' and Hannah Bahng's 'perfect blues,' while LeeLee has shaped tracks like Jackson Wang's 'Blow,' keshi's 'Euphoria' and Vedo's 'I Blame You.' The combined expertise and long-running creative relationship with d4vd helps polish the cut into a lush, genre-blurring cut that feels both indie-idiosyncratic and ready to soundtrack a few thousand aesthetic TikTok posts. With 'Always Love,' 20-year-old d4vd not only broadens his artistic palette but cements Hyunjin's growing reputation as a cross-border collaborator capable of holding his own in any musical setting. While summer playlists tend to boast upbeat and bright party songs, this collab can be a lingering late-night anthem to soundtrack everything from friends watching the sunset from a rooftop to lovers lying on the beach awaiting the sunrise. Looking Ahead for dv4d and Hyunjin: WITHERED Deluxe, More Touring 'Always Love' arrives after the April release of d4vd's debut album, WITHERED, a string of high-profile festival appearances like Coachella and Lollapalooza, as well as a sold-out European tour. d4vd teased a deluxe version of the album dropping soon (which 'Always Love' could make as part be part of the tracklist) and will tour Australia in December with Hannah Bahng (who also happens to be the sister of Stray Kids member Bang Chan). Meanwhile, Hyunjin is in the midst of the North American leg of Stray Kids' 'dominATE' World Tour, which will wrap after eight more shows in Europe throughout July. The group previously announced their plans for two album releases in 2025, meaning a new record shouldn't be far off.
