When Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, first met, they were both married to other people. Shortly after their affair became public knowledge it snowballed into an international scandal when Bezos accused National Enquirer owner David Pecker of attempting to blackmail him over photographs he’d allegedly sent to Sánchez depicting his “semi-erect manhood.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez will tie the knot sometime this week during a three-day wedding celebration in Venice, Italy. This will be the second marriage for both the billionaire Amazon founder, 61, and the former journalist and pilot, 55, who have been engaged since 2023.
