Lauren Sanchez Bezos has deleted all her old photographs from Instagram and updated her profile with her new name after marrying billionaire business tycoon and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Friday in Venice.
Newsweek contacted Sanchez for comment via Instagram direct message and the Amazon press office on Saturday outside of regular office hours.
Why It Matters
Bezos and Sanchez's wedding was a major society event with guests including the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom and Bill Gates.
By deleting all her previous photographs on Instagram, the only social media platform she has a public facing account on, Sanchez could be seeking to emphasize what a life-changing experience she expects marrying the world's fourth richest man to be.
What To Know
Following Friday's Italian wedding, Sanchez updated her Instagram name from "Lauren Sanchez" to "Lauren Sanchez Bezos" and deleted all her old photographs from the platform.
On Friday, she posted three photographs on Instagram as an album, the first in color showing her wearing her wedding dress and the other two black and white shots of her being assisted putting the dress on.
In the post, which received over 170,000 likes from Instagram users, Sanchez wrote: "Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made." The luxury fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana made Sanchez's wedding gown.
Sanchez later added a second picture of herself in her wedding dress alongside Bezos, along with the caption "06/27/2025" and a heart emoji.
Friday's wedding took place on San Giorgio Island, with Bezos and Sanchez seen leaving the five-star Aman hotel early on Friday for the exchange of vows.
A welcome reception was hosted on Thursday with a guest list of more than 200 including President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. On Saturday, a wedding reception is scheduled to take place at the Arsenale, formerly the site of armories and shipyards that is located on the eastern side of Venice.
The wedding was initially intended to take place in Cannaregio, part of Venice's historic center, but this plan was scrapped after protests were announced by local campaign group "No Space for Bezos."

In an X post on Tuesday, No Space for Bezos wrote: "We won! The protests have managed to ruin Bezos' plans and the little power games of Mayor Brugnaro [Venice's Mayor Luigi Brugnaro]."
On Monday, activists from international environmental group Greenpeace and campaign group Everyone Hates Elon unfurled a giant banner in Venice's St. Mark's Square, calling for Bezos to pay higher taxes.
The 65x65 inch banner read: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax."

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are one of the richest married couples. Here's how the ultrawealthy do prenups.
With Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez now married, they're likely to have a complex prenup. Lawyers and wealth management experts outlined the prenup process for the superrich. Business control, property ownership, and trusts are just some of the questions prenups tackle. Hindsight is 20/20 — especially when hindsight is worth $38 billion. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott, his first wife, got married without a prenup (in 1993, before Bezos started Amazon). Scott received roughly $38 billion in Amazon shares in the settlement, making her one of the world's richest women. On Friday, Bezos got married again, this time to helicopter pilot and former journalist Lauren Sánchez. Experts in family law and wealth management told Business Insider that the couple is almost certain to have a complex prenup. Bezos is, after all, worth more than $200 billion today. A representative for Bezos didn't respond to a request for comment from BI about whether the couple has a prenup. Anne Paape, the managing director and head of wealth strategy at Cresset Capital, a multi-family office for entrepreneurs and multi-generational families of wealth, said prenups are generally becoming more common and are sometimes even mandated in family trusts for the ultrawealthy. Prenups begin with both people fully disclosing their financial assets and debts, she said. Besides family, they can also involve everyone from business partners and tax attorneys to luxury realtors and aviation experts who help appraise homes and private jets, said Brooke Summerhill, a divorce financial consultant who primarily works with ultra-high net worth clients. "It's not the clients making a lot of these decisions, it's their team helping them understand what those decisions are and making those decisions with them," she told BI. Paape doesn't know the details of Bezos' potential prenup but said his situation isn't entirely unique: Many superrich weddings mark second or third marriages for at least one spouse, often one whose assets have changed considerably since their first time tying the knot. "He will absolutely have protection against anything that he could," Summerhill said, adding that he likely won't let his pre-marriage assets co-mingle with Sánchez's assets. The more money you have, the more potential prenup headaches you'll have, especially when it comes to business interests and properties. Wealthy clients tend to have properties and business interests around the globe, making it harder to ensure compliance with divorce and death laws in various jurisdictions. Many entrepreneurs like Bezos are focused on insulating their businesses in the event of a divorce or death. Most don't want to risk giving an ex-partner enough stock to have a say in how the company runs, Paape told BI. "You could try to compensate for keeping that off the table," Paape said. "What else if you were to get divorced? What other resources could you provide to that person?" Clauses safeguarding the appreciation of assets during a marriage are also key for wealthy clients, Summerhill said. If the couple ever divorces, it's not unlikely that Sánchez would get a lump sum, Amazon shares, and some real estate, according to Summerhill and Raymond Hekmat, a family law attorney in Beverly Hills who primarily writes prenups. But a marriage can also end in death, and that's where a death clause can come in. As Summerhill put it, this "prevents the surviving spouse from claiming a bigger portion of that deceased person's separate property." A surviving spouse commonly receives a lump sum or life insurance payout upon their spouse's death, she said, but a last will and testament may take precedent over the prenup. Prenups for the ultrawealthy have repercussions beyond the couple, whether it's about who takes over the family empire or gets the keys to the Hamptons home. "There's more people that care about the resolution of that breakup, whether it's divorce or death," Paape said. "It's business partners, it's employees, it's charities you support, it's children and grandchildren." She said trusts "are a no-brainer " for children of the ultrarich and that many provisions deal with inherited property or business ownership. Bezos shares four children with Scott, and Sánchez has three kids. Hekmat said all the prenups he draws up have a confidentiality provision, and some can include social media restrictions. "In the event of a breakup, you can't disparage the other party or discuss the prenup in any way with the public, and there could be penalties involved," he said. Prenups can also include sunset clauses, which say that some provisions or even the full agreement expires after a certain period of time. Some people may choose to change certain provisions and become more generous after they've been with their spouse for a while, Paape said. Hekmat said that even with prenups, couples risk messy legal and financial fights down the line. Proclaimed love and devotion aside, he kept his advice for the Bezoses of the world simple. "My bottom line for billionaires is don't get married." Have a tip or a story to share about your own experiences with a prenup?

New on Prime Video in July 2025 — all the new movies and shows to stream this month
A new month is here, and with it comes a fresh wave of titles hitting Prime Video. Amazon has officially unveiled its full July 2025 streaming lineup, and there's plenty to get excited about. Below, we've laid out the complete list of everything arriving on the streaming service this month. We've also highlighted a few standout picks you won't want to miss, including the third and final season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' a new action-comedy featuring Idris Elba and John Cena, and 'Ballard,' the new 'Bosch' spinoff. Not seeing anything that grabs you? No problem — check out our curated guides to the best movies and shows currently on Prime Video for even more streaming recommendations. Otherwise, scroll down to see everything new coming to Prime Video this July. 'Heads of State' is a new action-comedy featuring an unlikely duo: U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) and U.K. Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba). After their jet is shot down, the two sworn rivals must band together alongside MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) to survive a deadly global conspiracy aimed at shaking the foundation of their nations. If you're in the mood for fast-paced global stakes, charismatic star power, and light-hearted action, 'Heads of State' looks to be July's must-watch on Prime Video. Whether Cena and Elba can set their rivalry aside and save the world … well, that's the fun of finding out. Stream "Heads of State" on Prime Video from July 2 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Ballard' is set in the 'Bosch' universe and follows Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q). After being introduced in the 'Bosch: Legacy' finale, Ballard now leads an underfunded, all-volunteer LAPD cold case unit. Determined and fiercely empathetic, she juggles complex investigations like the high-profile 'Flower Girl' serial killer case while navigating bureaucratic roadblocks and inner-department corruption. Backed by familiar faces including Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Ballard is tasked with reopening unsolved crimes, but the emotional toll and political weight of the job threaten to overwhelm her. Created by 'Bosch' author Michael Connelly, the show leans into grounded storytelling, with a focus on justice, trauma, and the messiness of police work. With all ten episodes premiering at once, 'Ballard' offers fans of the franchise (and detective dramas in general) a darker, more character-driven story. Stream "Ballard" on Prime Video from July 9 Premiering July 16 with a two-episode kick-off and rolling out weekly through September 17, the third and final season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' adapts Jenny Han's concluding novel. Set two years after Belly's (Lola Tung) decision to be with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), the story follows her summer after junior year of college. Belly and Jeremiah announce their engagement, only for Conrad (Christopher Briney) to reappear, reopening old wounds and thrusting Belly into a powerful emotional crossroads. With an expanded 11-episode run (the longest yet) the series dives deeper into the central love triangle, Belly's growth into adulthood, and the dynamics between her friends and family. So expect moments of heartbreak, healing, and surprising adventures (including potential new settings like Paris).
