Jeff Bezos ‘didn't make any of his wedding guest VIPs sign gagging contracts'
The Amazon founder billionaire, 61, and his partner Lauren Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows at the end ofd June during a weekend of celebrations held at a private venue in Venice.
And one of the couple's guests, 44-year-old actress and podcast host Sara Foster has now spoken candidly about attending the lavish ceremony.
Sara, who is the daughter of music producer David Foster, revealed behind-the-scenes details of the three-day celebration in Italy during an episode of The World's First Podcast, which she co-hosts with her sister Erin Foster.
She said: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.'
Jeff and Lauren's wedding, which took place on 27 June, brought together a guest list of more than 200 people, including some of the world's most high-profile names.
Sara added the event felt far more intimate than the public had been led to believe.
She said: 'There's nothing – it's so interesting how the optics were this over the top, you know, protesters… it's just not, it's not what it was.
'It actually felt very intimate.'
The ceremony, reported to have cost around $50 million, attracted global media attention and saw the presence of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, 80, Oprah Winfrey, 70, Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, Sydney Sweeney, 26, Jerry Seinfeld, 70, Orlando Bloom, 47, Jessica Alba, 43, Bill Gates, 68, Brooks Nader, 27, and Ivanka Trump, 42.
Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were also in attendance, including Kim Kardashian, 43, Khloé Kardashian, 40, Kendall Jenner, 28, Kylie Jenner, 27, and Kris Jenner, 68.
Sara addressed the criticism she received online after sharing photos from the wedding on Instagram. 'Here's the problem. You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she said.
Sara added: 'I swear to God, it never occurred to me once that anybody would take issue with people attending a wedding. Truly. It really didn't. It didn't.'
She also hinted at the discretion of some attendees.
Sara went on: 'There were definitely a lot of people that were not photographed.
'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.'

He will then play two shows in each of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before concluding the tour with a one-off show in Adelaide on March 5. The Shape of You singer, 34, had been dropping clues that he'll be returning to our shores for weeks, with Frontier Touring leaving a trail of Easter Eds across their socials featuring artwork from his forthcoming album in anticipation. 'Pressing 'Play' in 3,2,1... Tue 22 Jul 🩷 4pm AEST / 6pm NZS,' a post on Monday was captioned. Ed Sheeran performs in Wellington Credit: Zakary Walters/Ed Sheeran / Instagram 'Can't wait to see my tedddddy again,' one fan wrote in response to the tour tease.

Sharon Stone mourns the death of her mother Dorothy
Sharon Stone's mother has passed away. The 67-year-old actress took to Instagram on Monday (21.07.25) to share news of her mother Dorothy's passing at the age of 91 - which is said to have happened in March. In an emotional social media post, Sharon wrote: "My hilarious, complex mother died. "A product of the last depression, let's NOT do this again. Let's protect and care." The Basic Instinct star previously described her mother's parenting style as "tough" and explained that feminism was among "the rules of my household". Speaking at the Zurich Film Festival in 2021, Sharon recalled asking Dorothy: "Why (do) you never let me lean on you?' She said: 'Because I taught you to stand on your two goddamn feet.'" However, the actress explained that she later came to appreciate the tough love from her mother. Sharon said: "She gave me the most loving, the most concerted thing a mother can give another woman. "I didn't understand it when I was young, but at 15, in college, and later modelling in New York and Milan, it became a gift." Sharon has three adopted sons - Roan, 25, Laird, 20, and Quinn, 19, and explained that she is glad that she prioritised motherhood over her Hollywood career after suffering a brain haemorrhage in 2001. The Casino star told People in 2023: "I'm grateful that I chose motherhood as a healthy approach to my life and I didn't prioritise Hollywood, because they certainly didn't prioritise me." Sharon lamented how her health scare halted her movie career and led the collapse of her marriage with journalist Phil Bronstein -with the couple divorcing in 2004. She said: "I lost everything. I lost all my money. I lost custody of my child. I lost my career. I lost all those things that you feel are your real identity and your life. "I never really got most of it back, but I've reached a point where I'm okay with it, where I really do recognise that I'm enough." Sharon admits that it was tough to come to terms with her illness as she felt that she was supposed to be "taking care of everybody else". She explained: "I come from a very broken family. I grew up believing that taking care of everybody else was what I was supposed to do. It took me a long time to understand that I had a life of my own and that I didn't have to fix it for everybody else, and that it was okay for me to receive care, for me to be enough as a disabled person. "I feel proud of myself and proud of my accomplishments - from surviving to helping others survive."

'It's an expensive relationship': Coronation Street star Farrel Hegarty opens up about the cost of love with her Aussie partner, and whether a permanent move Down Under is on the cards
British soap star Farrel Hegarty has revealed she's contemplating a permanent move to Australia to be with her partner, citing the rising costs of maintaining a long-distance relationship. The Coronation Street actor, who played Lou Michaelis on the long-running ITV soap, recently wrapped up her contract and has been flying back and forth from the UK to visit her girlfriend, Tricia Stone, who lives in Sydney. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Hegarty said the logistics of their cross-continental romance are beginning to take a toll, especially during the cost-of-living crisis. "It's an expensive relationship," she told the outlet in a candid interview published on Tuesday. "Originally, before I got the show (Coronation Street), I was going to move here. But then I got the job and had to stay in the UK. I definitely could (live here)," she added. The 37-year-old, who flew home to the UK on Monday evening, said she's made the trip to Australia around four times in the past year since the couple got together. Looking ahead, Hegarty admitted she's unsure whether the UK is where she sees herself long-term. "I don't think I will settle there forever," she said. "Basically my girlfriend's already said to me that she doesn't want to be there, she sees herself in Australia at the end of her life." During her latest visit, Hegarty shared a glimpse of her stay at Sydney's Shangri-La hotel in Darling Harbour with her 164,000 Instagram followers. She later posted a video from Sydney Airport captioned "Brutal" as she waved goodbye to Stone. In another clip, the actor filmed herself walking through the terminal, telling followers: "I hate saying goodbye. I hate airports and I hate flying." Hegarty made her debut on Coronation Street in February and confirmed in May that she always knew her role was short-term. "I've loved it all and even now, a few months in, it's surreal walking on the cobbles," she told The Mirror. "So much has happened in such a short time, and we've caused chaos. I've never had so many arguments! "To get this role is a dream come true, but I always knew I would one day be leaving." At the time, she also opened up about the emotional challenges of a long-distance relationship, but said Stone had always been supportive of her career. "Having a long-distance relationship is definitely not for the faint-hearted but my partner was never going to be angry that I was going to be in Corrie," she said. "She knows how much it meant to me and how tough it has been." First airing in 1960, Coronation Street follows the lives of working-class residents living on a fictional Manchester street and remains a beloved fixture in British television. The late Queen Elizabeth II was famously a fan of the series and visited the set twice, once in 1982 and again in 2021 to mark its 60th anniversary. During her final visit, the monarch walked the cobbled street and asked veteran actor Bill Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, how filming had continued during the pandemic. "It's really marvellous you've been able to carry on," the Queen remarked. "Well, ma'am, you're the one who has carried on," Roache replied. The visit was broadcast live on ITV in a special programme titled The Queen in Coronation Street.
