Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez sizzle on $500M yacht ahead of summer wedding
Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez packed on the PDA while soaking up the sun earlier this week ahead of their wedding this summer.
In photos obtained by Fox News Digital, the 61-year-old Amazon founder was spotted getting handsy with the 55-year-old former entertainment journalist as the couple spent a day at sea with friends on Bezos' $500 million sailing yacht, which was anchored off the coast of Cannes, France.
Bezos was seen playfully smacking and patting his bride-to-be on her backside while she tanned on a lounge chair next to a friend who smiled at the couple.
Sánchez showed off her toned figure in a leopard-print thong string bikini and a straw bucket hat while Bezos wore a navy blue T-shirt with blue and white patterned swim trunks.
In several photos, Bezos was seen kneeling on Sánchez's lounge chair as he bent over to kiss and cuddle her. In other snaps, the billionaire was spotted rubbing Sánchez's arms and nuzzling her neck.
Sánchez was photographed sitting up on her knees as she raised her fist in the air and bent over to grab her hat from a nearby table.
The pair were later spotted side by side as they enjoyed lunch with their friends at a table on one of the yacht's decks.
According to Architectural Digest, Bezos first commissioned his yacht, which he named Koru, in 2018, and it was delivered to the Blue Origin founder in 2023. At 417 feet long, Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world, according to the outlet.
The three-masted yacht boasts nine staterooms, teak decks, three Jacuzzis, a swimming pool and a pickleball court. Koru is accompanied by a $75 million support vessel named Abeona, which features a helipad and a hangar.
According to Architectural Digest, Sánchez, a licensed helicopter pilot, has been spotted flying her helicopter to and from Abeona.
Bezos proposed to Sánchez while aboard Koru in May 2023, she told Vogue in November of that year.
The two are staying in Cannes and have attended events celebrating the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Last Saturday, Sánchez attended the Global Gift Gala in Cannes. She was given the Women Empowerment Award at that event for her "commitment to uplifting others, breaking barriers, and championing change," the Global Gift Foundation said in an Instagram post.
On Sunday, Bezos and Sánchez were spotted walking hand in hand through Cannes as they enjoyed a dinner date in town.
On Thursday, the pair attended the glitzy amfAR Gala Cannes 2025, which raised funds to support AIDS research.
In photos from the event, Sánchez sat at a table with Bezos and kissed his cheek.
Prior to arriving in Cannes, Sánchez visited Paris, where she hosted a three-day star-studded bachelorette party.
The festivities kicked off May 14 at the historic restaurant Lafayette's, where Sánchez hosted a dinner for an intimate gathering of 13 women, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry and Eva Longoria.
"The atmosphere was very relaxed and very Parisian," a source shared with People. "It was a pre-wedding all-girl party for 13."
Sánchez later shared a photo of the group posing on Lafayette's rooftop with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
"Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who've lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way," she wrote in the caption.
On May 16, Sánchez's bachelorette group was spotted heading to lunch before partying on a yacht. Sánchez hosted another bachelorette event at Le Grand Cafe at Grand Palais May 17.
In March, Puck News reported Bezos and Sánchez had mailed wedding invitations. They will reportedly tie the knot this June in Venice, Italy.
The city of Venice said later that month it was "mutually working and supporting" the organizers of the couple's wedding.
Venice said at the time it would be "easy" for the city to "accommodate" the couple's nuptials "without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors."

This Conservative Is Doing Just Fine, Thank You, After Getting Dumped by Trump
'House of David,' a retelling of the biblical shepherd's unlikely rise, capped season one with the future king's epic takedown of Goliath and started April in Amazon's top streaming spot. David's surprise triumph was also Leonard Leo's. The conservative lawyer and co-chairman of the Federalist Society has been secretly helping bankroll Wonder Project, a Texas-based studio that produced the popular series and, Leo hopes, will follow with a string of Christian- and conservative-leaning shows so slick they can go head-to-head with other big-budget entertainment.

Cillian Murphy's Role in the '28 Years Later' Trilogy Is Coming Later Than We Hoped
Director and writer Danny Boyle teased the Oscar winner will appear to set up a third movie, if the first two do well. Cillian Murphy is set to make his eventual return to the world of 28 Days Later within the upcoming trilogy that 28 Years Later will kick off this summer, but there are a few catches. Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) revealed vague details about the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer actor's involvement to IGN. The upcoming trilogy expands on the world Boyle and Alex Garland (Civil War) started with 28 Days Later and its star Cillian Murphy, with a new set of interconnected stories. However, Murphy will not appear in the first film as it introduces a new central character: Spike, a 12-year-old boy portrayed by Alfie Williams whose family (led by Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson) finds itself in the thick of the post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak. 'Although each story completes itself, there's a handover section to the next film as well. So it's very ambitious. We haven't got the money for the third one yet. It will depend how the first one does, I guess,' Boyle shared and explained that Murphy's return is contingent on how the first two movies do. 'But hopefully if we do ok, they'll give us the go-ahead for the money and for the third one. Everybody's standing by for that, really. Including Cillian,' the director confirmed regarding Murphy's participation. Currently it's planned that he will make an appearance at the end of the Nia DaCosta (Candyman)-directed follow-up 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which picks up on the immediate continuation of events from Boyle's upcoming reboot sequel and is slated to open in theaters next January. 'He is in the second one,' Boyle revealed, 'I shouldn't give away too much. I'll get killed.' But we can guess that his appearance will only tease the potential of the third film, which Sony has yet to confirm. Boyle continued, 'You know that thing about sequels, you want to push it on and take huge risks.' 'I have to say fair play to [studio Sony Pictures]. They did allow us to take great liberties with [28 Years Later]. They could have said, 'Oh no, it needs to be more sequel-y. You need to rely on some of the ideas that are in the original. And what do you mean Cillian's not going to appear in the first one? I thought you said Cillian was going to be in it.' We said, 'Yeah, Cillian is going to be in it, but not quite the first one.' So fair play to them. They've put up with a lot.' 28 Years Later opens June 20.
