Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Upcoming Wedding: What We Know So Far
Wedding bells are in the air for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. In May 2023, the Amazon founder popped the question to Sánchez while the pair were vacationing in Europe. 'When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,' she told Vogue in November 2023 while recalling the proposal. As the couple geared up for wedding planning, Bezos weighed in on whether he would be involved in the process. 'Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?' he quipped to Vogue. 'We're still thinking about the wedding, what it's going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas?' Sánchez said at the time. 'We don't know yet. We've only been engaged five months!' Scroll down to see everything to know about Bezos and Sánchez's upcoming wedding: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Intimate Las Vegas Wedding: Everything to Know About the Guests, Dresses and More Nearly two years after Bezos and Sánchez's engagement, Page Six reported in March 2025 that the pair sent out their wedding invitations. The outlet previously reported that the couple would be saying 'I do' in June 2025. Bezos and Sánchez are reportedly exchanging vows in Venice, Italy. In March 2025, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro confirmed that the twosome would be getting hitched in the city. "The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos' wedding are completely unfounded,' the mayor wrote in a statement obtained by People, noting that the guests would not cause disruptions to 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.' In February 2025, Page Six reported that the couple would be getting married on Bezos' $500 million yacht, Koru.

'Uh, yes, 100 percent,' she told Vogue in November 2023. 'I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.' Sánchez's older brother, Paul, gushed to TMZ in March 2025 that he is 'thrilled beyond belief' and did not have exact details about where the wedding would be located. However, Paul said that he suspected the celebration to be similar to Princess Diana's 1981 nuptials with King Charles III. "I think it's gonna be, like, a Princess Di thing," Paul told the outlet. "Just huge and fun, and just a blast." In November 2024, Sánchez gave insight into her wedding planning process. 'I have to say, I do have a Pinterest,' Sánchez joked during an appearance on Today. 'I'm just like every other bride.'

Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and More Stars Celebrate Lauren Sanchez's Bachelorette Party in Paris
Before Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tie the knot, she toasted the occasion with a star-studded bachelorette party in the City of Lights. '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,' Sánchez, 55, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 15, sharing photos from her Paris gathering. The guest list included Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, as well as Eva Longoria, Elsa Collins, Lydia Kives, Veronica Grazer and Natasha Poonawalla. Sanchez's fellow Blue Origin astronaut Katy Perry — the two women were among the all-female crew that went to space last month — also attended the gathering. 'Queen of all of our hearts ♥️,' Perry, 40, wrote via Instagram comment on Thursday. Celebrities' Most Elaborate Valentine's Day Gifts: Angelina to Brad, Kanye to Kim and More The women kicked off Sánchez's last bash with an intimate dinner at Lafayette's Paris. According to social media footage shared by the bride-to-be, the menu featured a fried chicken appetizer, Caesar salad and a roasted chicken entree. The festivities continued on Friday, May 16, when the ladies lunched at L'Avenue Paris. Sánchez and the Amazon founder, 61, have been together since January 2019, getting engaged in May 2023. 'We're still thinking about the wedding [and] what it's going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don't know yet. We've only been engaged five months,' she told Vogue the following November. Sánchez further revealed to the outlet that Bezos popped the question after a starlit dinner on a boat. She found the ring hidden under her pillow that night. Relive the Best Celebrity Couple Nicknames Through the Years: From Bennifer to Speidi 'When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,' Sánchez added, noting she plans to change her name upon their nuptials. "I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos. I think there are a lot of opportunities that come with that, and I take those opportunities very seriously. We always look at each other and go, 'We're the team.' So everything's shared.' Bezos was previously married to MacKenzie Scott, with whom he shares four kids, from 1993 to 2019. 'We want to make people aware of a development in our lives. As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends,' Bezos and Scott, now 55, wrote in a joint Twitter statement at the time. 'We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.' They added, "We've had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures. Though the labels might be different, we remain a family, and we remain cherished friends.' Sánchez, for her part, was married to Patrick Whitesell for 14 years before they broke up in January 2019. Together, they share two children.

Lauren Sanchez Does Billionaire Bloomcore in Expensive Ab-Baring Look for Bachelorette Weekend in Paris
Lauren Sánchez is in Paris for her star-studded bachelorette weekend, and it seems everything is coming up roses ahead of her June wedding to Amazon founder (and billionaire) Jeff Bezos. When Sánchez, 55, stepped out for brunch on Friday, May 16, alongside Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and other celebrity gal pals, she leaned into the Bloomcore aesthetic in a white Oscar de la Renta crop top and miniskirt with multicolored 3D florals. The glamorous journalist, who reportedly got engaged to Bezos, 61, in 2023, literally blossomed in the designer co-ord set plucked right off the Pre-Fall 2025 runway. The top ($1,590) and skirt ($2,290) were modeled with a matching lady jacket ($4,290), but Sánchez eschewed the latter — all the better to show off her toned arms and taut, tan midriff. Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and More Stars Celebrate Lauren Sanchez's Bachelorette Party in Paris Sánchez (and Bezos, for that matter) are Fashion Week front-row regulars at Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and more luxury labels, so it felt fitting that the blushing bride-to-be would have perhaps the most coveted new set from the storied fashion house. As Oscar de la Renta Co-Creative Directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim described in the season's show notes, the Pre-Fall 2025 offering celebrates 'the timeless beauty of cherry blossoms,' which they aptly dubbed the 'hero flower' of the collection, which manifests itself in intricately embroidered laser-cut petals, as seen on Sánchez's flirty set on Friday in the City of Love. The ensemble seamlessly married Oscar de la Renta's exquisite craftsmanship and signature floral motifs with the cherry blossom, a flower that also symbolizes new beginnings (hint, hint!). Naturally, Sánchez moved the bloom to a new realm of luxury and elegance by carrying not the coordinating clutch from the collection but an adorable pink vintage Chanel Top Handle Crush Flap Bag, circa 2023, which just so happens to be the same year that Bezos proposed. Kim Kardashian and Lauren Sanchez Paid $200K Each for 1 Balenciaga Dress at Auction The mix of prints was a perfect match, and perhaps a sweet, stylish nod to her future husband before they tie the knot at the end of June in Venice, Italy.

Inside Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' Wedding: New Details on Dress Designer, Location, ‘Multi-Day Affair'
When Lauren Sánchez marries billionaire Jeff Bezos next month in a lavish destination wedding in Italy, she will be wearing custom Dolce & Gabbana couture looks made to match every event during the star-studded, multi-day celebration, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. "It will be a big wedding," the source said, and "a very Italian wedding." The exclusive details may also recall Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's May 2022 nuptials in Italy, where the bride, groom, and entire wedding party were outfitted in the Italian fashion label. Of course, Sánchez and the Amazon founder's forthcoming, high-profile celebration have already caught the public's attention. Sánchez's older brother, Paul, previously described it to TMZ as an event that could rival Princess Diana's iconic 'wedding of the century' in both scale and magnificence. Rumored wedding attendees include celebrities Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Eva Longoria, who were all seen at Sánchez's recent bachelorette weekend festivities in Paris. Lauren Sanchez Does Billionaire Bloomcore in Expensive Ab-Baring Look for Bachelorette Weekend in Paris Sánchez, 55, is already a Dolce & Gabbana devotee, having chosen the designer for significant, sentimental events, whether by 61-year-old Bezos' side on his birthday in a sheer black confection or sitting front row in ethereal white lace at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show in Italy to cheer on her son, Nikko, when he walked the designer's runway in July 2024. Before Nikko's turn on the catwalk, Sánchez was photographed arriving at Italy's Cagliari Airport in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana. Walking next to Bezos, she looked every inch the 'proud mom,' as she put it on Instagram, in a lemon-yellow dress reminiscent of the Italian Riviera. The philanthropist and Emmy Award-winning journalist consistently gravitates towards designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for milestone occasions, which makes them a natural fit for her wedding couturiers. The news that Sánchez will be a Dolce & Gabbana bride is the latest thread weaving together a beautiful narrative between home, family and high fashion. Sánchez's wedding wardrobe will mirror the picturesque setting, whether it's a corseted gown that commands all eyes at the altar or a boudoir-inspired LBD at the reception. Molto bella, indeed!

Fact Check: Watch out for digitally-edited photo of Lauren Sánchez
Claim: A picture authentically depicts journalist Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos' fiancee, with large lips and cheekbones enhanced by plastic surgery. Rating: In late May 2025, an allegedly authentic image of former news anchor Lauren Sánchez, billionaire Jeff Bezos' fiancee and founder of aerial film company Black Ops Aviation, circulated widely online. The picture spread on X, Threads and Facebook. Similar pictures purporting to show Sánchez's plastic surgery alterations also spread online. (X user @DailyLoud) However, this image is fake — as are the related pictures above. A comparison with legitimate photos of Sánchez on Getty Images credited to several different photographers show that the fake picture circulating greatly exaggerates her actual lips and cheekbones. Someone either digitally edited the image or used artificial intelligence to generate it — or both. Here is the original image that the digitally-altered image appears based on, per Getty Images: Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos attend the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Getty Images) It is unclear who made the image; a reverse image search largely returned the authentic image, rather than the altered one, making the source of the image difficult to determine. Snopes reached out to Daily Loud, one of the largest X accounts posting the fake picture, to ask about the origins of the picture. This story will be updated if they respond. It is worth noting the "before" picture that often accompanies the digitally altered image of Sánchez appears to be an authentic photo of her from 2003. Legitimate pictures of Sánchez which the other digitally altered pictures appear based on are also available on Getty Images here and here. Snopes often fact-checks fake and altered images of well-known people; see, for example, our story on an edited image of tech billionaire Elon Musk's chest and a fact-check debunking an image of United Healthcare CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione allegedly wearing a "Sailor Moon" costume from the popular Japanese manga.
