Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez celebrated her 19-year-old son Evan’s birthday with a foam party on their superyacht, days before their wedding.
Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, enjoyed a day out on the water off the coast of Europe on Sunday, June 22. In photos obtained by Page Six, the couple were seen throwing an event for Sánchez’s son, whom she shares with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. Evan and his friends joined the pair for the foamy gathering on Bezos’ $500 million superyacht, Koru.
Sánchez also shares 17-year-old daughter Ella with Whitesell, whom she was married to from 2005 to 2019. She coparents 24-year-old son Nikko with ex Tony Gonzalez. Bezos, for his part, shares three sons and a daughter with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
The celebration for Evan comes ahead of Sánchez’s upcoming nuptials with Bezos. The duo originally went public in 2019 and got engaged three years later.
Wedding bells are in the air for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. In May 2023, the Amazon founder popped the question to Sánchez while the pair were vacationing in Europe. “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” she told Vogue in November 2023 while recalling the proposal. As the couple […]
“We love to be together and we love to work together. We fly together. We work out together. We’re together all the time,” Sánchez told the Wall Street Journal in January 2023 about how Bezos is “really” funny. “He makes me laugh all the time. He can be goofy.”
After the proposal, Sánchez and Bezos took some time to plan a lavish destination wedding in Italy.
“When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” she told Vogue in November 2023 about the proposal.
Bezos was asked at the time whether he would be very involved in wedding plans, to which he quipped, “Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?”
“We’re still thinking about the wedding, what it’s going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas?” Sánchez added. “We don’t know yet. We’ve only been engaged five months!”
According to a source, Bezos and Sánchez will have “a big wedding.” Rumored attendees include celebrities Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Eva Longoria, who were seen at Sánchez’s bachelorette weekend festivities in Paris.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro confirmed in March that the couple would be getting hitched in the city.
“The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos’ wedding are completely unfounded,” the mayor wrote in a statement, noting that the guests would not cause disruptions to the city. “We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city.”
The bride is expected to wear Dolce & Gabbana after previously sitting front row at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show in Italy to cheer on her son Nikko when he walked the runway in July 2024.
“I have to say, I do have a Pinterest,” Sánchez joked during an appearance on Today in November 2024. “I’m just like every other bride.”
