Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have been together since at least 2018. The best we can tell, that was the year their affair began, when they were both married to other people. The National Enquirer tried to out their affair, and Bezos came out and announced his divorce and confirmed that he was seeing Lauren. He ended up proposing to Lauren in 2023. What’s amazing about this timeline is that at NO POINT has Lauren ever behaved like the well-kept side-chick/girlfriend/fiancee of one of the wealthiest men in the world. Lauren has always behaved like a C-lister who is trying to hang out with the cool A-listers. There’s a tackiness and desperation to Lauren and how she operates. It’s really fascinating! Instead of sitting back and letting people come to her and her soon-to-be husband’s money, she’s out there, hustling like an influencer at Coachella. All of which to say, it sounds like Lauren is desperate to get her wedding into Vogue.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice nuptials will be full of power players, including members of the Trump family — and it may even end up in Vogue, sources told Page Six. The couple is said to be talking to Anna Wintour about giving the exclusive story to the magazine, although “nothing is settled yet,” according to a media source.
Bezos and Sánchez are set to wed in the Italian city in a three-day June extravaganza, and close friends Ivanka Trump and Jared Kusher are on the guest list, we have learned. Don Trump Jr. and his new love Bettina Anderson — a Sánchez pal from south Florida — are set to attend as well.
There will also be a gaggle of Kardashians, after Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian traveled to Texas last week to cheer on Sánchez and her all-female Blue Origin crew as they travelled to the edge of space.
Amazon founder Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, will tie the knot during the celebrations lasting from June 26 to 29.
“It makes sense to have the biggest wedding of the year covered in Vogue,” said an insider.
But don’t expect to see the couple at the Met Gala on May 5. “They’re not going this year,” the insider said of the bash, which has a theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and the dress code “Tailored for You.”
It’s really amazing how many white people are coming out to say that they won’t attend this year’s Met Gala, because this year’s theme is so specifically about Black culture and Black style. As for Vogue… I actually hope that Anna Wintour makes them jump through hoops. I hope Vogue demands their own photographers and the right to cut people out of photos. Like… I actually do not believe that Wintour wants to feature any member of the Trump clan in Vogue at this point. But yeah… the way Lauren and Jeff Bezos are approaching the wedding and everything around it is so… Kardashian-level. Plus, the wedding is apparently going to be on Bezos’s yacht! You know those photos are going to suck anyway. And ten bucks says that Lauren’s dress is going to look so trashy.

They suck. And the Met Gala’s theme is amazing!
Saying you’re not attending an event you weren’t invited to shows how thirsty they are.
The photoshoot they published in preparation for the next MET Gala is amazing. I have to admit though that I kind of fear that the theme will encourage cultural appropriation. Cultural vultures like the Kardashians are going to see it as an excuse to wear “Bo Derek’s” braids or something.
I’m a member so get regular emails from the Met. I assume this Met Costume Exhibition opening soon is coordinated with the gala?

The only way you go around looking like a blowup doll and hustle constantly even when you’re married to one of the richest men on the planet is pathological insecurity, so desperately wanting your wedding to be featured in Vogue (preferably written by Plum Sykes) tracks. That’s what every 1990s girl wanted and Lauren Sanchez is still stuck in that era IMO
Yet another two people I’ll be happy never to see or hear about ever again.
Couldn’t come soon enough.
They look like a couple of villains from an Austin Powers movie. And she needs to call those doctors from Botched. That’s all I got.
🤣🤣🤣
I’m genuinely sad when I see pictures of her. How have we gotten to this place in history where women are butchering themselves to look like this? All of these women look the same and look so alien. I can’t imagine hating myself so much. It’s no surprise that the women with the most vile men look the most butchered.
Yes! They are both trashy as hell. That Mar-a-Lago look is so disturbing.
“There’s a tackiness and desperation to Lauren and how she operates. It’s really fascinating! ”
THIS. THIS. THIS.
It is fascinating! I really don’t know what to make of it. On the one hand if you genuinely, sincerely have the world view of a Real Housewife, then I mean that’s you. I don’t think it’s an act and I find people like Real Housewives or Lauren interesting to talk to because they do see the world so very differently than me, find things interesting and important that I really don’t value, but oftentimes in my experience are not bad people per se because of that life view. It’s just a very different personality type. So, in a way, I kind of grudgingly find it kind of cool to just be yourself and have that confidence? Like if you think it is “feminist” to take Katy Perry to space and really think that’s girl power, well I don’t agree, but it’s interesting to consider why she really thinks that.
But honestly, I find Bezos in some ways more interesting in terms of how he also thinks she is like the bee’s knees and so cool. He doesn’t seem to have any sense of second-hand embarrassment or even want her to behave differently. He all in!
Very bizarre but fascinating.
I appreciate the graciousness and class in this comment. And it’s true, that there are groups of people out there, raised in a bubbles, that are so totally different from the general population. I’ve even watched friends who have spent decades as ‘normals’ working hard to pay the bills, who marry rich and, within a few years, absolutely change their mindset. Bezos’ physique changed SO drastically in the last 10 years that I have to wonder WHAT drugs he is on and HOW they are affecting his noggin.
It’s also fascinating how stark the contrast is between Lauren and his first wife. I feel like there’s something to unpack in his psyche about why he felt Lauren was an upgrade.
I’m not sure you can ever really say that it’s something they genuinely value or even like because so much of that world is about keeping up with the Joneses and one-upping each other in terms of wealth. Like, there’s an inherent competition between rich people to have the most expensive watch, the rarest piece of art, the biggest mansion and on and on.
Given that, it’s hard for me to view that as an authentic desire, when so much of it is informed by others and their wealthy lifestyles. Even her face feels like a mask that she put on; desperately trying to be something she’s not.
It’s all kinda sad to me TBH.
For a bookseller, he’s awfully shallow.
Ms Sanchez should thank Katie Perry for taking the fall for the Blue Origin Fiasco. I thought it was unfair because Lauren and her greedy fiance were the ringleaders of this astronaut cosplay.
Karma sure has a wicked sense of humor. Giving us Bezos face planting in front of the whole world.
Tacky tacky tacky!!! She will wear a trash outfit for her wedding with all her surgically altered parts hanging out including her face. That’s the absolute nicest thing I can say about the whole debacle.
That red Frederick’s of Hollywood lace number was what she wore to a reception at the WH in the before times (they’re pictured walking in). Saw the pictures at the time and was astounded at the tackiness – can’t imagine what other people were thinking about them both when they walked in. But it would be perfect for the current WH occupant. Maybe she can do a rewear.
I’ll be honest and admit that I am counting the days until we get photos of her dress. I have high hopes that it will be (to me) spectacularly tacky. Given what she wore to the White House I’m quietly confident.
For some reason I like her, just being herself and enjoying being with a wealthy man
You like watching her uphold white supremacy?
But she isn’t “being herself.” She’s a living Barbie cosplay.
Still won’t get you an invitation to the bunker when these people destroy the world.
This is giving “I rooted for Camilla.”
To the 99.9% of those who need to hear it: he isn’t going to leave his wife and he isn’t going to marry you and make you a queen (literal or figurative). And if he does, prepare to lose him how you got him (or spend a life putting up with it, for the money and so you don’t have to admit you were wrong.)
Camilla was an outlier and Lauren’s whole story ain’t written yet, and no “storybook wedding” will ever get back the respect and dignity they lost when they hopped in the sack with these rich, married men, then and reveled in it publicly.
No Anna, don’t do a Bezos wedding feature! Spare us.
ps this years theme is amazing.
I wish she would snub them. But I’m sure it’a all about money. If they think it will sell more magazines or get more clicks, then they’ll do it. Sigh.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t.
Interesting side note: a while back, Vogue posted a picture of these two on Insta I guess to accompany a feature about how great they are. They were posing in a pickup truck, doing rugged west people of the land cosplay. The post blew up in the wrong way as upwards of 10,000 commenters (likely more now) shared how they found these two severely problematic in many ways. It was clear that the Vogue crowd are not fans.
I wish that would sway Anna more–her readers don’t want their wedding covered. But she caved with the Kardashians and she will cave with this as well.
But did it really blow up in the wrong way, if you were Anna? Ten thousand people (at least) engaged with the post after all. Engagement is engagement I guess. So while the crowd may not be fans, they’ll give it attention.
@NoHope – ahh, “people of the land.” Perhaps you’re familiar with one of my most favorite bits of movie dialogue. In Blazing Saddles, Gene Wilder is consoling Cleavon Little, the new town sheriff, who’s just had a racist remark thrown at him by a benign looking old woman:
“You’ve gotta remember that these are just simple farmers.
People of the land.
The common clay of the New West.
You know – morons.”
Classic, and still so relevant.
People seem to forget that Melania’s only Vogue cover was of her in her wedding dress, which was released before the wedding, if my memory serves me correctly. There was also an ad buy from Donald’s perfume in it. The only time I saw him advertise in Vogue magazine. If she appears in the magazine or on the cover, look for a large ad buy. Anna isn’t stupid, but magazine revenue is down. However, I’d be shocked if they got the cover.
She’s slipping into Jocelyn Wildenstein territory. Yikes.
She’s not slipping in. She’s purposefully barging in like the Kool Aid man with her whole chest and lips.
Her face/smile reminds me of Jack Nicholson’s The Joker.
I was thinking she’s looking more Steven Tyler.
The sad thing is, she used to be really pretty. Have you seen the before pictures? She looked like an entirely different person back when she was dating Tony Gonzalez. You would think that with all the money Jeff Bezos has he would have at least gotten her a GOOD surgeon to do all the work she’s had done. SMH…
Please don’t do it Anna! But we know she will. They have too much money not to. But they will never out class the Venice wedding of George and Amal. Say what you will about George but that wedding was stunning.
Yikes is all i have to say.
I kinda expect that they will be in Vogue if not Vogue, Vanity Fair.
The wedding guest list must be huge and filled to the brim with famous people. Interesting who got name dropped in this article.
What is the point of having a wedding in Venice if they’re just staying on the yacht? And does she have any dresses that fit? All the ones I see are slip sliding down. So many questions…
Not exactly a blushing bride is she?
Yeesh! What a trout face.🥴
Want, want, want. This too-shiny-skinned greedy little man and his Steven-Tyler lookalike grifter bride have incredible wealth and assets, everything under the sun, and they still want more. “Look at meeee” It’s appalling. They need to pipe down because the only reason any of us want to see any photos of their bound to be tacky wedding is to laugh at them.
Well if they put Kim K’s fully augmented body and face on the cover, I don’t see why they’d be against Lauren’s botched surgical show.
A comic book seems more appropriate
Their attempts to generate publicity around this wedding tell me that the divorce will be messy and spectacular
Yeah, the divorce will be messy and spectacular … but it will take YEARS. You can watch “The War of the Roses” right now and it’ll be funnier, better looking, and over in two hours.
Shit is just as tone-deaf as their dumb rocket launch. God I’m so sick of rich people. Just eat them all already.
These new tech billionaires are so boring and vapid. Every time I read something about Bezos or Musk I just can’t fathom how they managed to make this much money considering how very boring their brains seem to be.
At least Bill Gates does interesting things with his foundation.
I personally can’t wait to see her dress. It’s going to be epically tacky and I’m here for it.
There is a photo of them at the inauguration. Many of the males were ogling her bustline while Bezos was smiling like a Cheshire cat. He was fully aware of her attention getting outfit and seemed to enjoy it. Is this the attraction? Dress like a whore so I can enjoy other men acting like fools?
It’s performative dick-waving, possibly short guy syndrome.
It’s rich men’s perpetual need to be envied. Their deep-seated small dick energy drives them to crave being perceived as having the hottest, the biggest, the greatest…
A vapid and hedonistic life.
Didn’t we get some weird Vogue spread of the two on a motorcycle sometime last year? I fear they may make it into Vogue again. Not sure what Anna’s thinking…
“Instead of sitting back and letting people come to her and her soon-to-be husband’s money, she’s out there, hustling like an influencer at Coachella.”
— Probably because she’s a natural hustler and she knows Bezos isn’t necessarily a sure thing, so, she needs to establish her own power base and connections, in case it all goes sideways. There’s also the very real possibility that being with him is not all that exciting and she needs to find her thrills, elsewhere (like going into space).
On an unrelated note: she looks like she has a touch of acromegaly, in that top picture. I wonder whether she’s also been injecting growth hormone?
