Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has slammed rumors claiming he and fiancée Lauren Sánchez are set to get married next weekend in Aspen, Colorado.
The billionaire took to the media on Sunday to firmly deny the reports, calling the stories “completely false” and accusing the press of jumping to conclusions without evidence.
The Rumors that Sparked the Statement
The gossip mill went into overdrive with reports suggesting that Bezos and Sánchez would be tying the knot at actor Kevin Costner’s luxurious ranch in Aspen. Further fueling the speculation, it was claimed Bezos had booked the upscale Japanese restaurant Matsuhisa to host an extravagant reception for up to 180 guests. The alleged wedding plans quickly spread, leaving fans and media outlets buzzing about the high-profile nuptials.
However, Bezos made it clear that these stories were nothing more than fiction.
Bezos Hits Back at the Media
In a strongly worded statement reminiscent of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s media criticism, Bezos lashed out at the reports. “This whole thing is completely false—none of this is happening,” he declared, adding, “The old adage, ‘don’t believe everything you read,’ is even more true today than it ever has been.”
He didn’t stop there. Taking a further jab at how quickly false information spreads, Bezos quipped, “Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on.
Wedding Plans: A Mystery for Now
Despite the billionaire’s fiery denial of the Aspen wedding rumors, there’s no doubt that wedding plans are in the works for the couple. Sánchez herself has previously mentioned that she’s already thinking about her wedding dress, leaving many to speculate about when and where the couple will eventually say “I do.
For now, the couple is keeping the details of their future plans private, leaving fans to wonder about the eventual venue and scale of their ceremony. Bezos and Sánchez, who got engaged earlier this year, have not announced any official date for their nuptials.
While the Aspen wedding rumor has been debunked, one thing is certain: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are headed down the aisle—just not next weekend, and not at Kevin Costner’s ranch. Until then, fans and the media alike will have to wait patiently for an official announcement from the power couple.
As Bezos said himself, “Don’t believe everything you read.” It seems we’ll have to rely on the couple to reveal the truth—whenever they’re ready.
