Did Lauren Sanchez-Jeff Bezos Make Guests Sign NDAs for 50 Million USD Wedding? Sara Foster Spills Beans

Sara Foster is giving fans a closer look at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's USD 50 million wedding, revealing new details about the high-profile event that took place in Venice, Italy. On the July 17 episode of her podcast The World's First Podcast, the actress and daughter of David Foster spoke candidly about attending the star-studded wedding, which took place on June 27. Despite the global attention the wedding received, Foster said it wasn't the over-the-top event many had assumed it would be. Inside the surprisingly low-key wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Foster revealed that the ceremony, which spanned three days, was surprisingly low-key. '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,' she told her sister and co-host Erin Foster. The podcast host also made a surprising claim: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs,' she said, confirming that Bezos and Sánchez didn't require guests to sign non-disclosure agreements, even though it was one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. Here's what Sara Foster had to say about the backlash Sara Foster admitted she was surprised by the online reaction after sharing a few photos from the wedding on Instagram. 'Here's the problem. You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she shared. '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.' Though she offered some behind-the-scenes insight, Sara refused to reveal the names of guests who went unphotographed. '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.' The wedding attracted major celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Sydney Sweeney, Jerry Seinfeld, Orlando Bloom, Jessica Alba, Bill Gates, Brooks Nader, and Ivanka Trump. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, including Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie, and Kris Jenner, were also in attendance.

Now we know if Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez made their wedding guests sign NDAs

Attendee Sara Foster just spilled new details about the billionaire couple's over-the-top Venice nuptials. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venetian wedding extravaganza made global headlines for its over-the-top scale, celebrity guest list, and parade of paparazzi gathering all the details in Venice throughout the days-long events, not to mention the protest movement it triggered against billionaire tourism in a city already plagued with overtourism-related issues. But one detail had remained unclear, until now. On the latest episode of The World's First Podcast, actress and model Sara Foster, who attended the June wedding, confirmed that guests were not asked to sign nondisclosure agreements. 'Absolutely not. There were no... no one signed NDAs,' she told her sister and cohost, Erin Foster. Foster emphasized that despite the media frenzy, the event itself felt more personal than people might assume. 'It actually felt very intimate,' she said, pushing back on some of the widespread perceptions of the affair.

'You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she said, referring to 'polarizing' responses to her Instagram posts about the weekend — especially the Monique Lhuillier dresses she wore for the festivities. 'I guess I'm stupid,' she joked, 'but it really didn't occur to me people would take issue with going to a wedding.' While the guest list included over 200 names, Foster noted that many attendees 'were not photographed' — though she declined to spill names. 'I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that,' she said. The wedding was far from low-key. Local officials in Venice estimated a $1.1 billion economic impact — mainly attributed to the dollar value of the publicity around it. Protesters, meanwhile, made their feelings known with signs and banners plastered across historic landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square, reading 'No Space for Bezos.' Yes, the whole world was watching, of course. But as Foster tells it, guests weren't contractually obligated to help control the narrative.

Body found in search for British hiker Matthew Hall who went missing in Italy

The body of Matthew Hall, the British hiker who went missing in the Italian Alps, has been found according to local officials. Officials in the province of Sondrio confirmed to Sky News that search teams located the hiker between 100 and 150 metres down from a famous observation deck in Chiavenna valley. His body was found on Wednesday by local police and the fire department. Mr Hall, 33, from Hull, had not been seen since Tuesday 8 July, after he left an Airbnb in Chiavenna, just north of Lake Como, in Lombardy, northern Italy, for a solo walk. A missing persons appeal circulated by his friends and family on social media said he last contacted a friend at 1.20pm the day he went missing, sending a photo of himself on the walk. Mr Hall's mother Sara Foster, 62, flew out to Italy on Wednesday to help search for the 33-year-old. Speaking to Hull Live at the time, she said she had been overwhelmed by the support shown by Matthew's friends and colleagues. A spokesperson for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office told Sky News earlier this week: "We are supporting the family of a British man missing in Italy and are in contact with the local authorities."

British hiker missing for a week found dead in Italian Alps

A British man who disappeared while on a solo hiking trip in the Italian Alps has been found dead in a steep gully not far from where he sent a last message to a friend. Matthew Hall, 33, from Hull, began a walking holiday in northern Italy on July 5 and had been due to return to England a week later. He went missing on July 9 after sending a text message to a friend saying he had taken a wrong turn and was having a rest. He sent a photo to the friend of the Cross of Daloo, a mountaintop viewpoint above the town of Chiavenna, where he had been staying. Rescuers found his body on Wednesday evening after being alerted at 7pm by a local who spotted his backpack in a deep crevice. He had apparently fallen just a few hundred metres from the cross that featured in his photo. Rescuers said the dangerous rugged terrain required the use of a helicopter to recover the body. 'All the circumstances point to an accidental fall,' a spokesman for the police in Chiavenna said. It was likely that Hall, who worked for the broadband firm Quickline, had been killed instantly by the fall but it would be up to doctors to establish the cause of death, the spokesman said. 'The crevice was very deep, so it's probable that he died immediately,' he said. Police were due to accompany Hall's mother, Sara Foster, to the hospital in Sondrio where his body had been taken. She arrived at Milan's Malpensa airport on Wednesday evening and was due to be joined by her husband on Friday. Five of Hall's work colleagues had arrived in Italy earlier to support the search efforts of the Italian authorities, backed up by the use of drones and dogs. Hall had been staying in a B&B in Chiavenna and his hosts noted that he had not been collecting his breakfast but did not raise the alarm until he failed to return for checkout on July 11. A search by police and Alpine rescue teams was not launched until July 13. Friends and family said Hall was a confident walker with experience of managing rugged terrain. Jacob White, the friend who received his last message at 1.37pm on July 9, said he had sounded relaxed as he had asked him about his own holiday in Cornwall. 'It sounded as if any danger he might have seen was over,' he said.
