Nearly two years after their engagement, Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos are finally preparing to say “I do.” According to confirmed reports, invitations for their wedding have officially been sent out. The highly anticipated ceremony is expected to take place this summer in Venice, Italy, a romantic location fitting for one of the world’s most talked-about couples.
Italy Sets the Scene
Though the exact date remains under wraps, the couple is said to be planning a summer wedding in Venice. This detail was first shared by reporter Dylan Byers on social media platform X. While representatives for Sánchez and Bezos have not responded to requests for comment, multiple sources have confirmed the Italian destination.
Earlier reports hinted the wedding might happen in June aboard Bezos’ $500 million yacht, Koru, which often sails along the Italian coast. Though it’s still unclear whether the yacht will be part of the ceremony, Italy is definitely playing host to their big day.
The Engagement That Made Headlines
Jeff Bezos, the 61-year-old Amazon founder, proposed to 55-year-old Lauren Sánchez in May 2023. At the time, the couple was attending the Cannes Film Festival, enjoying their stay aboard Koru. Rumors began to swirl when Sánchez was spotted wearing a stunning diamond ring, which experts later estimated to be a 20-carat gem worth around $2.5 million. In an interview with Vogue, Sánchez revealed that Bezos had hidden the ring under her pillow. The proposal left her so emotional she said she “blacked out a bit.”
A Star-Studded Engagement Party
The couple marked their engagement with a lavish party on their yacht in Positano, Italy, in August 2023. The guest list was nothing short of spectacular, featuring names like:
-
Ari Emanuel
-
Tobey Maguire
-
Queen Rania of Jordan
-
Kris Jenner
This celebration gave a taste of the kind of luxury and high-profile company their wedding might include.
Hints of a Wedding to Come
In November 2023, Sánchez admitted that the couple was still figuring out their wedding plans, unsure of whether it would be “big” or “overseas.” Now, it appears that decision has been made.
Fans also noticed that Sánchez and Bezos seemed to hint at their wedding earlier this year when they arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2025 looking like a bride and groom. Sánchez wore a white, strapless mermaid gown by Oscar de la Renta, complete with feather details. Bezos complemented her with a black tuxedo and white bow tie, a classic groom’s look.
A Relationship Years in the Making
Bezos and Sánchez began dating in 2019 but kept a low profile until their previous marriages were finalized. Sánchez finalized her divorce from Patrick Whitesell in October 2019, ending a 13-year marriage. She shares two children with Whitesell and has another child with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
Looking Ahead
Now, with invites sent and a romantic Italian summer ahead, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding is one of the most anticipated celebrity events of 2025. With a love story that spans years, glamorous events, and star-studded parties, their upcoming wedding promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
