Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Set to Tie the Knot in Extravagant Aspen Wedding
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 60, is reportedly preparing to marry his fiancée Lauren Sanchez, 54, in a luxurious $600 million wedding next Saturday in Aspen, Colorado. The couple, who announced their engagement in May 2023, are expected to host a winter wonderland-themed ceremony filled with festive decor, twinkling lights, and holiday charm.
Lavish Pre-Wedding Festivities
The soon-to-be-weds kicked off their celebrations by reportedly booking out Matsuhisa, an upscale sushi restaurant, for exclusive pre-wedding events on Thursday and Friday. Their Aspen nuptials are anticipated to be a star-studded affair, with attendees potentially including friends from their previous engagement celebrations in Positano, Italy—guests such as Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Bezos and Sanchez have been inseparable since their relationship began in 2018, going public a year later following the Amazon founder’s divorce from MacKenzie Scott. Rumors of their engagement initially surfaced in 2019 when Sanchez was seen wearing a massive heart-shaped ring, though the official proposal reportedly happened aboard Bezos’s mega-yacht in 2023, featuring a $2.5 million cushion-cut pink diamond.
Family and Blended Dynamics
Sanchez, a former broadcast journalist, has three children: Ella, 16, and Evan, 18, from her marriage to talent mogul Patrick Whitesell, and a 23-year-old son, Nikko, with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. Bezos shares three children with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, who has since become a prominent philanthropist.
Secrecy Around the Big Day
While the couple has kept their wedding plans private and their representatives have not confirmed the date, excitement is building around what is set to be one of the most extravagant weddings of the year.
With a luxurious winter backdrop, exclusive guest list, and the couple’s undeniable chemistry, Bezos and Sanchez’s upcoming nuptials promise to be an unforgettable celebration of love and opulence.
