Bezos and Sánchez will reportedly tie the knot in Italy this weekLeonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti will be among the wedding guests when Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tie the knot.
A source tells PEOPLE that the actor, 50, and the 27-year-old Italian model are expected at the couple's upcoming wedding in Venice, Italy, this summer. DiCaprio and Ceretti have been romantically linked since August 2023.
PEOPLE reached out to a representative for DiCaprio for comment.
On Tuesday, June 24, another inside source told PEOPLE that Sánchez's ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez will also be present during this week's festivities, alongside their son, Nikko, 24.
Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry and Eva Longoria were present for Sánchez's bachelorette party at Lafayette's in Paris on May 15 and have been spotted out with Sánchez, 55, on several celebratory occasions since then.
The Amazon co-founder and CEO, 61, has been engaged to the former television host since 2023, when Bezos proposed on his $500 million yacht.
Sánchez told Vogue in December 2023 that she 'blacked out a bit' when he showed her the 30-carat engagement ring.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro previously confirmed that the couple would be hosting their nuptials in the historic Italian city after reports claimed that the ceremony would take place on Bezos' yacht this month. Brugnaro did not confirm a specific venue.
"The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos' wedding are completely unfounded,' the mayor wrote in a statement obtained by PEOPLE in April, adding that only 200 guests will be invited and that the event wouldn't disrupt the city.
'We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city,' the statement continued.
Bezos and Sánchez's wedding guests received lavish invitations to see the couple become husband and wife: cards featuring drawings of flying birds, floating feathers, shooting stars, fluttering butterflies and rowing gondoliers, ABC News reported Tuesday after obtaining a portion of the save-the-dates.
"We are excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts," the invitation reads, per the outlet. "Instead we're making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice."

Brembo, Brakes, And Brad Pitt Get A Closeup In The New F1 Movie
F1, the movie Italian braking systems manufacturer Brembo has cornered the market for Formula 1 racing teams. In fact, all of the current teams are equipped with Brembo's high-performance brakes in the real world. So it makes sense that in the upcoming Apple Original Films' F1 movie, starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, the fictional team uses Brembo too. Engineers from the company even designed a custom braking system for the movie car. Brembo says its engineers tailored the braking system by analyzing key factors like weight distribution, tire grip and aerodynamic balance in the APXGP movie car, just as it does for real F1 teams. Brembo Looks To Reach The Next Generation Through F1 Brembo is the official partner for the movie and supplied the braking systems for the film's race car. APXGP, the fictional team in the movie F1, was influenced and inspired heavily by real-life F1 drivers. Many of the professional F1 drivers were in the movie, and even Lewis Hamilton's dog had a cameo. Brembo Chief Marketing Officer Mauro Piccoli says while the company has a long history with F1, it's more exciting than ever to see where the sport is going now. 'Motorsport is reaching the younger generation because of [the show] Formula 1: Drive to Survive,' Piccoli says. 'Formula 1 has changed how it's selling its product. The race isn't changing, and the cars aren't changing. But they are gaining interest because they're moving from talking about engineering and cars to characters and drivers.' As such, F1 the motorsport and F1 the movie have become even stronger ways for Brembo to communicate its brand mission and goals. Brand placement in movies certainly isn't a new idea, and the number of insincere or awkward placement is fairly common. For Brembo, however, this is much more than product placement. The brand is integrated in a way that's organically sensible, and while not everyone will recognize the Brembo name when it pops up on the screen, it will resonate. Formula 1 Brembo brake system Brakes, Brembo, and Brad Pitt Is Brembo hoping to reach more manufacturers with this movie involvement, or is is more like the 'Intel Inside' campaign the tech company ran years ago for brand awareness? Piccoli says it's not just a matter of selling brakes to manufacturers. It's building a strong connection across the board. 'We want our audience to think about Brembo when they have to buy a car or motorbike in the future,' Piccoli emphasizes. 'We want them to consider the quality of our products and the value.' Ultimately, Brembo finds this F1 movie partnership a way to create and generate brand awareness for the upcoming generation. Of course, the movie will also catch the attention of enthusiasts and those passionate about motorsports. It's worth noting that the stars of the movie and the stunt drivers experienced over 4G of deceleration on the movie set, which is more than three times what most drivers feel on the road. Fitted with Brembo brakes, the car had plenty of stopping power. In the automotive world, when a vehicle is fitted with Brembo brakes, it sends a clear message that particular car was designed for performance. Over time, maybe more consumers will realize the company making the brake components is worth asking for by name. 'It's not enough to think that whatever goal you reach is enough,' Piccoli says. 'Every year, we reinvent ourselves according to the changes to the rules. We're always thinking about what we can do next.' F1 arrives in theaters in North America on June 27, with the Brembo name embedded deeply within.

Protesters say Bezos' star-studded Venice wedding highlights growing inequality
VENICE, Italy — This weekend's star-studded Venice wedding of multi-billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez has galvanized activist groups that are protesting it as a sign of the growing disparity between the haves and have-nots as well as disregard of the city's residents. About a dozen Venetian organizations — including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups — have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words also referring to the bride's recent space flight.

Protesters say Bezos' star-studded Venice wedding highlights growing inequality
VENICE, Italy (AP) — This weekend's star-studded Venice wedding of multi-billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez has galvanized activist groups that are protesting it as a sign of the growing disparity between the haves and have-nots as well as disregard of the city's residents. About a dozen Venetian organizations — including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups — have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words also referring to the bride's recent space flight. They have staged small-scale protests, unfurling anti-Bezos banners on iconic Venetian sites. They were joined this week by Greenpeace and the British group 'Everyone Hates Elon,' which has smashed Teslas to protest Elon Musk, to unfurl a giant banner in St. Mark's Square protesting purported tax breaks for billionaires. 'IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX,' read the banner, which featured a huge image of Bezos. Police quickly took it away. There has been no comment from Bezos' representatives on the protests. The local activists had planned a more organized protest for Saturday, aiming to obstruct access to canals with boats to prevent guests from reaching a wedding venue. Then they modified the protest to a march from the train station after claiming a victory, asserting that their pressure forced organizers to change the venue to the Arsenale, a more easily secured site beyond Venice's congested center. 'It will be a strong, decisive protest, but peaceful,'' said Federica Toninello, an activist with the Social Housing Assembly network. 'We want it to be like a party, with music, to make clear what we want our Venice to look like.' Among the 200 guests confirmed to be attending the wedding are Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio. Venice, renowned for its romantic canal vistas, hosts hundreds of weddings each year, not infrequently those of the rich and famous. Previous celebrity weddings, like that of George Clooney to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014, were embraced by the public. Hundreds turned out to wish the couple well at City Hall. Bezos has a different political and business profile, said Tommaso Cacciari, a prominent figure in the movement that successfully pushed for a ban on cruise ships over 25,000 tons traveling through the Giudecca Canal in central Venice. 'Bezos is not a Hollywood actor,'' Cacciari said. 'He is an ultra-billionaire who sat next to Donald Trump during the inauguration, who contributed to his re-election and is contributing in a direct and heavy way to this new global obscurantism.'' Critics also cite Amazon's labor practices, ongoing tax disputes with European governments and Bezos' political associations as additional reasons for concern. Activists also argue that the Bezos wedding exemplifies broader failures in municipal governance, particularly the prioritization of tourism over residents' needs. They cite measures such as the day-tripper tax — which critics argue reinforces Venice's image as a theme park — as ineffective. Chief among their concerns is the lack of investment in affordable housing and essential services. City officials have defended the wedding. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro called the event an honor for Venice, and the city denied the wedding would cause disruptions. 'Venice once again reveals itself to be a global stage,'' Brugnaro told The Associated Press, adding he hoped to meet Bezos while he was in town. Meanwhile, a Venetian environmental research association, Corila, issued a statement saying Bezos' Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation.' Corila, which unites university scholars and Italy's main national research council in researching Venetian protection strategies, wouldn't say how much Bezos was donating but said contact began in April, well before the protests started.
