Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sanchez: everything we know

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are preparing to finally tie the knot in a lavish ceremony, having been engaged for nearly two years.

The pair is said to have wed in December but, whether true or not, they are now certainly planning to pull all the stops out for the nuptials.

Journalist Ms Sanchez, 55, has this week been spotted having lunch with her friend Eva Longoria as she gets ready to wed the Amazon founder and philanthropist.

The couple were recently spotted together at Donald Trump’s inauguration, with Mr Bezos having become a born-again supporter of the Republican, tweeting to congratulate him.

They have both been married before, Mr Bezos having divorced Mackenzie Scott – the mother of his four children.

Mr Bezos told CNN last year: “Lauren is the most generous, most big-hearted person that you would ever meet... She never misses a birthday. The network of people that she gives birthday presents to is gigantic. And that's just a small example.

“We're really great teammates, and we also have a lot of fun together. And we love each other.”

Here is what we know about one of the biggest weddings of the year.

Everything we know about Jeff Bezos’s wedding to Lauren Sanchez

It will take place in June

We don’t have an exact date but it will be in June, reports News 18, which will be two years and one month after their engagement.

Mr Bezos proposed with a $2.5m diamond ring, so big that Ms Sanchez “kind of blacked out for a moment”.

Reports from December, that the two were planning a Christmas wedding in Colorado, appear to not have come to fruition.

There will be a stellar guest list

As well as Longoria, the guest list will also include Leonardo Di Caprio, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, as well as President Trump, reports the Mail Online.

Barbra Streisand, Queen Rania of Jordan and the Kardashians are also said to be saving the date.

It will likely be on a massive yacht

The wedding looks set to be in Venice. The Mail has said that Bezos’s $500m yacht Koru will be the venue.

“The event… will take place aboard their $500m mega yacht Koru, anchored in the Venetian Lagoon,” a source said.

Local regulations may force it to move from its current mooring, however.
