Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos married in a stunning Venice ceremony on June 27, 2025 captivating fans and critics alike. The journalist-turned-pilot’s lavish wedding and bold new chapter have sparked global chatter. Here’s the latest on their star-studded nuptials, Sánchez’s fresh moves, and what’s next for this power duo.
Venice Wedding Steals the Spotlight
On June 27, 2025 Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos said I do on Venice’s San Giorgio Maggiore island, joined by 200 A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Sánchez dazzled in a custom Dolce & Gabbana lace gown, inspired by Italian icons, while Bezos rocked a sleek tuxedo.
We caught a glimpse of their Instagram post last night—Sánchez’s beaming smile against Venice’s golden sunset was straight out of a movie. The three-day, $46-$56 million affair included a yacht party and local Murano glass decor, but protests over wealth disparity saw locals dunk a Bezos effigy in a canal.
Key Moments from the Wedding
- Star-studded guest list: Celebrities like Kris Jenner, Jared Leto, and Ivanka Trump partied, though Katy Perry missed it due to her Australia tour and rumored split with Orlando Bloom.
- Local flair: The couple used 80% Venetian vendors, from Rosa Salva pastries to Laguna B glassware, and donated €3 million to preserve Venice’s heritage.
- Family focus: Sánchez’s three kids from ex-husband Patrick Whitesell—her sons walked her down the aisle, and her daughter was maid of honor—blended with Bezos’s four for a heartfelt ceremony.
- Sánchez’s bold reset: Post-wedding, she wiped her Instagram, keeping just two posts under her new name, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, signaling a fresh start.
From Newsroom to New Heights
Sánchez’s journey is inspiring. Raised in Albuquerque by pilot parents, she earned an Emmy nod as a journalist, co-hosting Good Day LA and appearing on Extra. A licensed pilot, she’s flown helicopters for her production company and joined Bezos’s Blue Origin spaceflight.
Her 2024 children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, reflects her adventurous spirit. I met a fan at a bookstore who said Sánchez’s story pushes her to chase big dreams—it’s hard not to root for someone who’s soared so far.
Controversy and Philanthropy
The wedding’s extravagance drew ire, with Venetian protesters slamming the couple’s wealth amid local economic struggles. Sánchez and Bezos countered with their €3 million donation, a nod to their $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund. Online, fans are split—some call it a dreamy love story, others a tone-deaf display.
Sánchez’s Instagram reset, leaving only wedding posts, feels like a calculated move to own the narrative. A friend who follows influencers said she’s betting Sánchez will lean harder into charity to shift the conversation.

Another celebration is rumored, possibly in New York, with Sánchez hinting at more on Instagram. Her philanthropy and media projects, alongside Bezos’s Amazon and Blue Origin ventures, keep them in the spotlight.
