Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media personality Lauren Sánchez are preparing to tie the knot this summer, nearly two years after their engagement. Reports confirm that the couple has sent out wedding invitations, with the ceremony set to take place in Italy.

Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, made their relationship public in 2019 and got engaged in May 2023 during a romantic vacation in the South of France. Since then, speculation has swirled about their wedding plans. While early rumours suggested the ceremony might take place aboard Bezos’ $500 million superyacht Koru off the coast of Venice in June, sources now confirm that their Italian wedding is officially in motion.

Sánchez has been seen proudly sporting her engagement ring since the proposal, and the couple has frequently been spotted enjoying their time on Koru, sparking excitement among fans.

In December 2024, Bezos publicly shut down rumours about a Christmas wedding, taking to social media to clarify: “The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been.” However, sources close to the couple now reveal that they are “madly in love” and thrilled about their upcoming nuptials.

Bezos shares four children with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, while Sánchez has three children from previous relationships.

As one of the most anticipated weddings of the year, the Bezos-Sánchez ceremony is expected to be a grand affair, with Koru anchored near the Italian coastline for the celebrations. While the exact date remains under wraps, their high-profile guest list is sure to make this one of the most talked-about events of the summer.
