Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are gearing up to walk down the aisle! Although it’s unclear exactly when these two started dating, they were first romantically linked in January 2019, right around the same time that Bezos and his wife of 26 years, MacKenzie Scott, announced they were divorcing.
Bezos and Sánchez took things to the next level in their romance when they got engaged in May 2023. Now, over two years later, it’s almost time for their big day. Scroll down for everything we know about the wedding, which is sure to be an extravagant affair!
When is Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding?
The exact date of the wedding has not been confirmed, but various reports have said that it will take place at the end of June. There are expected to be a number of events for guests to attend throughout a three-day period.
While some reports said the events will last from June 24 to June 26, The New York Times reported that the wedding weekend will be from June 26 to June 28.
Where is Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding?
The couple’s wedding will take place in Venice, Italy, although the specific venue has not been confirmed.
Some Venice residents are outraged by the impending nuptials, leading to some protests in the city. The protestors, who have forged a campaign called “No Space for Bezos,” are worried about the scenic city being taken over by the wealthy guests of Bezos and Sánchez.
However, Bezos and Sánchez’s wedding planners told Page Six that the A-listers were “abundantly clear” that they didn’t want to cause “any disruption to the city” during their three-day extravaganza.
Even Venice’s mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, said he’s confident that the affair will have a possible “multi-million dollar” impact on the city’s economy with so many stars in town for the weekend.
“The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos’ wedding are completely unfounded,” he said in March. “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.”
Who is invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding?
Since Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Eva Longoria all attended Sánchez’s bachelorette party, they will likely be guests at the nuptials.
TMZ also reported that Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are expected at the wedding, along with Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Jewel, Barbra Streisand, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner. Others on the invite list reportedly include Diane von Furstenberg, Brooks Nader, and Camila Morrone.
When Bezos and Lauren Sánchez got engaged, other stars who attended their engagement party included Salma Hayek, Miranda Kerr, Suki Waterhouse, and Robert Pattinson, so seeing them on the guest list would also not be surprising.
Around 200 people are expected to be on the guest list.
Have Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez been married before?
Yes, they were both married once before. Bezos was married to his first wife, MacKenzie, from 1993 to 2019. They have four children together: three sons and a daughter. The exes keep their family life private. Only their oldest son’s name, Preston, is publicly known. As part of her divorce settlement, Bezos’ ex received 25% of their shared Amazon stock, worth over $35 billion.
Sánchez was previously married to businessman Patrick Whitesell from 2005 to 2019. They have two kids, Evan and Ella. She also shares son Nikko with ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
