It was recently said that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez would be getting married very soon – and very expensively – in the next few days. But the Amazon founder denies it: There is nothing to the supposedly secret plans to say yes in the mountains of Colorado. All fake news.
Jeff Bezos has vehemently denied reports that he and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez will get married between the holidays: “None of that will happen.” The 60-year-old Amazon founder responded to the news originally spread by the British newspaper “Daily Mail” with a social media posting on the X portal. It had been said that there were secret plans for a $600 million wedding on December 28th at the luxury ski resort in Aspen, Colorado. Apparently it was supposed to be an intimate wedding celebration with around 50 guests. The celebrations were supposed to last several days, with the wedding ceremony taking place on December 28th.
Bezos now emphasized: “Besides, the whole thing is completely wrong – none of it will happen.” He then shared his opinion on the subject of fake news: “The old adage 'Don't believe everything you read' is more true today than ever. Today, lies can travel the ENTIRE world before the truth can get its pants on. So be Be careful out there, people, and don't be gullible.”
Engagement on his superyacht
Bezos and Sánchez have officially been a couple since 2020. They got engaged on his superyacht in May 2023. The former TV journalist recently revealed on the “Today Show” that she had already bought her wedding dress, but there were no public plans for the celebration yet.
It would be the second marriage for both of them. Jeff Bezos, the second richest man in the world, married MacKenzie Scott in 1993. The two have four children together. In January 2019 they announced that they wanted to divorce.
Lauren Sánchez, now 55, was married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell from 2005 to 2019, with whom she has two children. She has another son from a previous relationship.
